It was the Tigers' 24th season and they competed as a member of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA).

The team was led by head coach Mike Donahue, in his 11th year, and played their home games at Drake Field in Auburn, Alabama.

Florida played hard for three quarters, until Wren scored the winning touchdown in the final period.

Auburn had dominated Southern football for the past two seasons, without a single team crossing its line.

In one of the greatest exhibitions of punt covering Cody smothered the receiver every time, recovering two fumbles, one across the goal line for a touchdown.

On the last move Strupper faked right and then dove left underneath the outstretched arms of Baby Taylor into the endzone.
