1910 Vanderbilt Commodores football team

James Howell's computer rating system retroactively named Vanderbilt a national champion.

Metzger was selected third-team All-American by Walter Camp, the third player from the South ever to receive such and honor.

In 1910, football used a one-platoon system, with players featuring on both offense, defense, and special teams.

[15] Despite the excessive heat,[16] newcomers Kent Morrison, Enoch Brown, and Hugh Morgan played well.

[19] October 22 brought the highlight of the year: a scoreless tie with the defending national champion, coach Ted Coy's Yale Bulldogs.

[21] It was the first time Yale had been held scoreless at home,[22] and the south's first great showing against an Eastern power.

All I want to say is that I never saw a football team fight any harder at every point that Vanderbilt fought today – line, ends, and backfield.

Late in the first quarter, Ray Morrison ran 90 yards for Vanderbilt's touchdown on a punt return.

Attempting to recover it, he booted the ball behind his own goal line, netting a safety for Mississippi.

[29] Sewanee's coach Harris Cope was at the game, and again McGugin took to conventional football, resulting in a scoreless first half.

[29] After an illegal forward pass, Vanderbilt had another touchdown (Bradley Walker's officiating drew criticism throughout).

[32] Metzger was selected third-team All-American by Walter Camp, the third player from the South ever to receive such an honor.

[33] Both Metzger and Morrison were selected for an Associated Press Southeast Area All-Time football team 1869–1919 era.
