Good old Cumberland College got their clock cleaned by GT that day.
There was apparently some bad blood between the two schools and they agreed to play and set a date. Cumberland then apparently dropped football or whatever. GT was petty and decided to enforce the contract so Cumberland had to go around getting random students to put a football team together.
I also seem to remember a Houston/SMU game that got way out of control. Was when Houston had Andre Ware and were running up scores to boost his Heisman campaign. Believe this was only a year or two removed from SMU resuming play after the death penalty
