I still say it is impossible and they didn't really score 222 points. Hell, I don't think they scored over 175.

That's a score every 27 seconds on average. Unreal

Very true, video goes over the entire game as given by accounts. Cumberland had to be that completely inept to allow this to happen.

Apparently.

A. John Heisman was an angry man out for revenge
B. Cumberland didn't have a football team anymore
C. The team of random students had a student age coach.... who didn't know the rules of football.
D. Their quarterback was knocked out of the game... on the opening kickoff.

I don't believe this game either. I have a hard time believing if GT was scoring every play, Cumberland players wouldn't just dip out on the game.

Not really. The vast majority of GT's drives actually started inside Cumberland territory. They also had multiple defensive TDs and ST TDs.
There were a few plays where Cumberland players actually all laid down on the ground and let GT score TDs. There were also several plays in which Cumberland players didn't even attempt to tackle the GT players.
Every single one of GT's drives lasted no more than a few plays including many that were one play.

Archie Cooley once beat Lane College 111-0, when he was the Head Coach at Mississippi Valley State University. He scored 21 points in the last 90 seconds of the game.
