[QUOTE="VolJacket, post: 253717, member: 2975"] The first great team at Georgia Tech was the 8-1-1 1904 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets coached by John Heisman. The Georgia Tech football program had been pretty nondescript with two winning seasons since 1892(2-1-1 in 1893 under Frank O. Spain and Lt Leonard Wood and 4-0-1 in 1901 under Dr Cyrus W. Strickler) and not very competitive overall. With hard work by John Heisman GT became a power in the old Southern only behind Vanderbilt and Auburn. The 8-1-1 1904 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Lob Brown was All Southern Conference(GT's first All Conference Player) and the Captain was Barien Moore October 1st@Piedmont Park) Ft. McPherson W 11-5 October 8th@ Piedmont Park) Florida State College(Lake City) W 35-0 October 15th@ Piedmont Park) Mooney School(TN) W 51-0 October 17th@Piedmont Park) Florida Agricultural College W 77-0 October 22nd@ Piedmont Park) Tennessee W 2-0 October 29th@ Auburn) Auburn L 12-0 November 5th@Piedmont Park) Clemson T 11-11 November 12th@Piedmont Park) Georgia W 23-6(First win over UGAG since 1893) November 16th@Piedmont Park) Tennessee Medical College W 59-0 November 24th@Piedmont Park) Cumberland College W 18-0 Scoring in 1904 was 5 points for a touchdown,1 point for an extra point,4 points for a field goal and 2 points for a safety [/QUOTE]
