Cumberland had 15 turnovers and every first down in the game was a touchdown, the longest drive being two plays. There was a contract for two games between Cumberland and Georgia Tech to be played in 1915 and 1916. After the end of the 1915 season Cumberland discontinued football but Heisman, the coach for Georgia Tech, offered Cumberland $500 and all expenses to honor the contract or pay Georgia Tech $3,000. The Cumberland team was put together by Student-Coach George Allen and consisted mostly of fellow fraternity brothers, supposedly they held two practices before the game. Contrary to popular belief Cumberland did in fact gain positive yardage in the passing game getting a total of 14 yards which were offset by the -42 yards rushing (believe it or not, this is not the worst offensive performance in college football history). There are two reasons given for Heisman running up the score, the first is that supposedly Cumberland used professional baseball players in a game against Georgia Tech earlier in the year and Heisman wanted revenge. A second reason is that Heisman disagreed with the habit of sports writers to rank teams based on margin of victory without taking in consideration the quality of the opponent and wanted to demonstrate the foolishness of that ranking system. The highlights for Cumberland included a blocked extra point and a ten yard completion (on 3rd and 22).
