    CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

    American football evolved as an outgrowth of rugby and association football, which today is commonly referred to as soccer. In the 1850s games that somewhat resembled modern American football were played on a number of university campuses. However, there were few rules and many injuries, leading to a ban of all such games in universities in the 1860s. The game remained popular elsewhere however, and was still played at various prep schools.

    By the late 1860s football started making a comeback on American university campuses. In 1869 Rutgers played Princeton in what many consider to be the first collegiate football match. However, the ball was round and rules were dramatically different than they are today. Throwing the ball or running with it were not allowed, and ball movement occurred by kicking. As the 1870s dawned, Yale, Columbia and other schools started participating in the games. This led to standardization of the rules between all the participating teams in 1873. However, the game was still based primarily on kicking the ball.

    However, Harvard refused to participate in the 1873 rule-making body. After playing McGill University from Montreal, Canada, Harvard adopted a rugby style version of the game that soon became popular with other schools. This game used an oblong rather than a round ball. In 1876 a number of schools met again to once more standardize the rules of play, and this time the rules they adopted involved the rugby-style game adopted first by Harvard.

    Walter Camp of Yale then introduced a number of changes that made the game what it is today. Principal among these was reducing teams from 15 players to 11, and introducing the concept of the line of scrimmage and the snap to the center. In an effort to prevent teams from continuously controlling the ball, Camp later introduced the rule that progress of at least 5 yards had to be made every three downs (today, progress of 10 yards is required). Because of his significant contribution to the game, Camp is commonly considered to be the father of American football.

    With a unique, American-style game that was unlike any other in the world, popularity of American football soared. Over the next several decades virtually all large universities adopted the game and began playing against each other. But injuries were still common, and in 1905 President Roosevelt threatened to abolish the game since there were 19 football deaths that year. Representatives from a large number of schools met at the end of the year to establish new and safer rules. This meeting led ultimately to formation of what became the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). Another major change from this era was legalization of the forward pass based on a suggestion from John Heisman.

    Athletic clubs which were independent of universities also began to adopt the game, leading in time to the creation of professional football clubs and the organization of the NFL in the 1920s. Meanwhile the game became a regular fixture of virtually all American universities and colleges. Today, roughly 70,000 college students play football for their school, and there are over a million high school students playing football.

    Until 1973, universities and smaller colleges were separated in different divisions. This structure was made more formal in 1973 with a designation of each university or college as being in division I, II or III. Subdivision I as later subdivided in 1978 into division I-A (bigger schools) and I-AA. In 2006 these divisions were renamed as Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) and Football Championship Subdivision (FCS), with the FBS determining its champion through a series of bowl games after the regular season.

    This book provides games and history of the FBS, the major NCAA university football teams, for the years 2009 through 2014.

    CHAPTER 2: 2009 SEASON

    The consensus national champion team was Alabama, which beat Texas 37-21 in the Rose Bowl. The Heisman winner was Mark Ingram, from Alabama, with Toby Gerhart of Stanford as runner-up, followed by Colt McCoy of Texas. Rankings in the AP poll at the end of the season were as follows, with win/loss records:

    1 Alabama (14-0)

    2 Texas (13-1)

    3 Florida (13-1)

    4 Boise State (14-0)

    5 Ohio State (11-2)

    6 TCU (12-1)

    7 Iowa (11-2)

    8 Cincinnati (12-1)

    9 Penn State (11-2)

    10 Virginia Tech (10-3)

    11 Oregon (10-3)

    12 BYU (11-2)

    13 Georgia Tech (11-3)

    14 Nebraska (10-4)

    15 Pittsburgh (10-3)

    16 Wisconsin (10-3)

    17 LSU (9-4)

    18 Utah (10-3)

    19 Miami Florida (9-4)

    22 USC (9-4)

    23 Central Michigan (12-2)

    24 Clemson (9-5)

    25 West Virginia (9-4)

    Two prior Heisman winners played this season, namely 2008 winner Sam Bradford of Oklahoma and 2007 winner Tim Tebow of Florida. Russell Wilson of North Carolina State set a new record for most passes attempted without an interception. In the Army-Navy game on December 12, Navy quarterback Ricky Dobbs ran for his 24th rushing touchdown of the season. This gave him the single season record for most rushing touchdowns by a quarterback.
