History

1875 Tufts team

A Tufts football team has played since the 1874–75 season.[5][6][7] The Tufts football team played its first game on June 4, 1875, against Harvard, which Tufts won by a score of 1–0. This game is considered the first game of American football between two American colleges, with each team fielding 11 men, the ball being advanced by kicking or carrying it, and tackles of the ball carrier stopping play.[8] During the 1875–76 season, Tufts played Bates on the Bates campus in Lewiston, Maine, for the first organized intercollegiate football game played in Maine.[9]

In one of the largest shutout wins in team history, Tufts defeated the 1914 New Hampshire football team by a score of 83–0.[10]

One Tufts player, William Grinnell (1909–1997), a varsity member during the 1930s, has been inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.[11]

The 1,000th game in team history was played during the 2006 season.[12]
