	College Football Encyclopedia - Introduction
		When the first true football scoring system was devised in 1883 (replacing customary scoring procedures in which one point usually was awarded for advancing the ball across the goal in any fashion), kicking was emphasized.
		Two-platoon football was made possible, with minor restrictions, under rule changes in 1941 but was not really put into practice until the last year of World War II in 1945.
		College football's rich heritage and lore are sometimes lost in these days of emphasizing the present and hyping superstars as "the greatest ever" at running, passing, kicking, or whatever.

	Rutgers - The Birthplace of Intercollegiate Football (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The game, which bore little resemblance to its modern-day counterpart, was played with two teams of 25 men each under rugby-like rules, but like modern football, it was “replete with surprise, strategy, prodigies of determination, and physical prowess,” to use the words of one of the Rutgers players.
		Not long before the first football game, the canny Princetonians had settled this competition in their own favor by ignominiously sinking the gun in several feet of concrete.
		Princeton won the second game, but cries of “over-emphasis” prevented the third game in football's first year when faculties of both institutions protested on the grounds that the games were interfering with student studies.

		It is said that Cumberland's regular football players had left that fall to "go into the trenches." Obviously the U.S. had not entered World War I in October 1916.
		A student in the College of Arts & Sciences, he became a nationally syndicated writer and attended college reunions regularly, receiving the Award of the Phoenix in 1976.
		In a way the game was revenge: the Cumberland baseball team had beaten Georgia Tech 22 to 0 in the spring of 1915.

	Amazon.fr : The Game of the Century: Nebraska Vs. Oklahoma in College Football's Ultimate Battle: Livres en anglais: ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Many college football fans consider the 1971 matchup between Oklahoma and Nebraska the most exciting game ever played in any sport; people were talking about its thrill even before the nationally telecast Thanksgiving game ended.
		An extensive description of the game, play-by-play at some key moments, isn't enough to fill this slim chronicle, however, so the historical record extends back to the 19th century, when football was so unruly that one Oklahoma sheriff happening upon a game thought it was a brawl he needed to stop.
		Nebraska won 35-31, but the game stays in the memory of fans and players not only because it was exciting but also because it captured an era.

	American football - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Both American football and soccer have their origins in varieties of football played in the United Kingdom in the mid-19th century, and American football is directly descended from rugby football.
		Colleges responded with a series of rule changes to open up the game, most importantly the forward pass, along with outlawing dangerous formations such as the "flying wedge", and introducing and requiring better equipment such as helmets.
		The game had achieved its modern form by 1912, when the field was changed to its current size, the value of a touchdown increased to 6 points, and a fourth down added to each possession.

	The Game (college football) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Game (always capitalized) is a title given to several U.S. college football rivalry games, but most particularly the annual contest between the Harvard University "Crimson" and the Yale University "Bulldogs." The Game is played in November at the end of the football season, and the venue alternates between Harvard Stadium and the Yale Bowl.
		The Game receives relatively little national attention today; most college football fans are more interested in games between larger institutions whose teams are made up of scholarship athletes, many of them bound for professional careers.
		Big-Time Football at Harvard, 1905, edited by Ronald A. Smith (University of Illinois Press, 1994; ISBN 0-252-02047-2) is Harvard head coach Bill Reid's daily diary of the 1905 college football season.

	College Football Game Reviews - Scores
		CBS's college football second team of Craig Bolerjack, Ed Cunningham and John Dockery is like many other backups in college football.
		Bolerjack also didn't give much background or tell many stories about the players or coaches involved in the game, choosing instead to focus only on the game, While that generally is preferable, stories about the participants often add color to the broadcast and give the viewers a sense of connection with those involved.
		From the beginning of the game, when he said it would be a "major understatement" to say this wasn't a big game, to the end, when he had to "give credit where credit is due" on Miami's game-winning touchdown, Cunningham littered his analysis with classic football announcer cliches.

	NCAA College Football Coverage - Los Angeles Times
		That game in Columbus, Ohio, is getting so much attention that it might be easy to forget that there's a full slate of college football today, and rivalries besides Ohio State and Michigan are being renewed.
		They've won nine straight since a season-opening loss to USC — their longest streak since 1988 — and when this one was over, the crowd began chanting "BCS." "It's in the back of our minds," offensive lineman Zac Tubbs said of the Razorbacks' place in the Bowl Championship Series picture.
		Texas' first touchdown against USC in the 2006 national championship game at the Rose Bowl should have been overturned, but replay officials had the wrong television feed plugged into their monitor.

	Game Gospel: Bowl Bound College Football
		So, to demonstrate just how good Bowl Bound is as a simulation of college football (though it is not licensed or approved by the NCAA or any of its member schools), the game features its own dual polling system.
		Playing the game follows a preflight checklist that lets you take care of injuries, academic probation, depth charts, offensive and defensive formation preferences, offensive and defensive play selection preferences, monitor your players up for awards and consider your place in the polls.
		Frankly, I had never seen any overtime games in college and might have been tipped off to my danger if I had realized that each team is supposed to get two possessions in the red zone (from the 25) and the team that is ahead after both have two possessions is the winner.

		Yale's offense, averaging 37 points and 471 yards per game, is ranked second in Division 1-AA in total offense.
		The X factor is Crimson quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, who came off the bench at halftime of last year's game and produced three touchdowns in less than seven minutes as his mates rallied for a 20-13 triumph.

	TSN: Ginn, Bush are transforming the game - College football - MSNBC.com
		The two players, who have transformed college football with their speed and game-breaking ability, could have been an absolutely sick duo as teammates.
		In this era of spread offenses and sharing the wealth, the growing trend in college football is toward the Transformers -- speedy, athletic, dual-threat athletes who can play just about anywhere on the field and change the momentum of a game quicker than you can say 4.3 40.
		In what eventually could prove to be the biggest game of the regular season, Ginn had 7 yards of offense: He caught two passes, dropped two passes and had one carry for a loss of 2 yards.

	Harvard-Yale Football "The Game": History
		In 1875 came an event that contributed greatly to the shape of football as it developed in the United States.
		They adopted the code of the Rugby Football Union with a change in the scoring rule--instead of a match being decided by a majority of goals alone, it was decided by a majority of touchdowns.
		Rugby thus became the American college football game and the rest, as they say, is history.
