1917 Georgia Tech Golden Tornado football team
The 1917 Georgia Tech Golden Tornado football team〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=100 Things Yellow Jackets Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die )〕 represented the Georgia Institute of Technology (commonly referred to as Georgia Tech) during the 1917 college football season. The team was a member of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA). The Golden Tornado was coached by John Heisman in his 14th year as head coach, compiling a record of 9–0 (4–0 SIAA) and outscoring opponents 491 to 17 for its first national championship. Heisman considered the 1917 team the best one he ever coached, and for many years it was considered the greatest football team the South ever produced.〔 The ''New York Sun'' then wrote "Georgia Tech looms up as one of the truly great teams of all time."〔 Tech beat its opponents by an average score of 55 to 2. The Golden Tornado played eight home games at Grant Field. Its only road game was against Tulane.
Georgia Tech shocked many with its 41 to 0 victory over Penn. Davidson, led by later Tech star Buck Flowers followed the Penn game, and was sometimes called the second best southern team this year.〔 The Tornado underperformed, leading only 6 to 3 at the half, but still won 32 to 10. Tulane and Vanderbilt were both respectable but unspectacular foes. All of Tech's backs ran for 100 yards or more in the Tulane game, and that 83 to 0 Vanderbilt game is still the worst loss in Vanderbilt history. The season closed against Auburn who had lost only to Davidson and had tied undefeated Big Ten champion Ohio State. If Auburn could have managed a win, it would have won the conference title. Still, Tech decisively won 68 to 7. The Golden Tornado shut out all opponents aside from Davidson and Auburn.
The team's backfield of Hill, Strupper, Guyon, and freshman Judy Harlan was highly renowned,〔 called the "Four Horsemen" years before the 1924 Notre Dame backfield commonly called such.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ramblin's )〕 Hill carried the ball the most and led the nation in touchdowns. Heisman's offense ran a "jump shift." The quarterback, both halfbacks, and fullback would be in a line, as you would in an I-formation with an extra halfback. Then the three players who were not to receive the ball from center would shift all to one side. A split second elapsed, then Tech hiked the ball and the wall of three blockers charged on.〔 〕
