Louisiana Tigers
Overwhelm Y.M.G.C.
41-0, in a game that was very short and one in which Doc Fenton was the go to player.
LSU played 17 men in the game vs YMGC's 12.
Just think in todays game LSU averages 52+ a game.
Also standing out in the game for LSU that day was Lally, R.L. Stovall and Seip.
I do have a near play by play of this and all the 1908 games.

We're you working on a book about our 1908 SIAA NC?

I was exactly minus 60 years old on that day.

I still think LSU should acknowledge the 1908 team as National Champions!! Show some respect for Doc Fenton and his teammates!!

Have you compiled stats for that season? I'd love to know what Doc's total offense was that year.
And what was the Tigers' TD percentage in the red zone?

With the predeliction of folks on this site to use initials, I suppose that everyone else but me knows what the heck Y.M.G.C. is/was. I assume from the context that it was some alleged football power at the time.

I heard that the LSU vs Auburn game (played at Auburn) in 1908 was a hard fought close game. I heard that Auburn's football field was where the eagle cage is now- about 100 yards east of Jordan Hare. This is between Jordan Hare and some girls dormitories. I don't think Auburn keeps the eagle there anymore, but the cage I think is still there. I've walked there and wondered if it is true because there is no sign that there ever was a ball field there. Then again, it was 100 years ago.
