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've always heard Heisman fixed the game anyway for them to score 222. Pretty sure deadspin wrote about it six or seven years ago

You had schools playing that didn't even know how to play...let alone half the rules were different among areas of the country and "associations" before conferences.
