Auburn’s first game against Samford (née Howard) was played in 1903. It was in Auburn and it was amazing.
Auburn scored 10 touchdowns. Samford barely ran 10 plays. Because back in the day, believe it or not, you had an option after your opponent scored—receive or kick. Which of course seems insane. Why in the world would you not want the ball? Well, you wouldn’t want it if you couldn’t move it, if it was all but guaranteed that you would either lose yards or fumble, which happened constantly in the first few decades of football.
