[2] Coming off the South's first national championship in 1917, Tech lost several players to the war effort and was heavily reliant on freshmen.

[3] With captain-elect Everett Strupper lost to the war effort, tackle and placekicker Bill Fincher was left as captain.

[4] Fincher had a glass eye which he would covertly pull out after feigning an injury, turn to his opponents and say: "So that's how you want to play!

[6] Former end and Notre Dame alumnus Fay Wood assisted Heisman as line coach.

Flowers had grown to weigh 150 pounds and was a backup until Heisman discovered his ability as an open-field runner on punt returns.

[17] For one score, in the fourth quarter, Flowers hit Red Barron on a 72-yard touchdown pass that went 42 yards in the air.

[7] The scoring breakdown: Barron got 4 touchdowns, Allen 3, Adams 2, Ferst 2, Guyon, Fincher, Flowers, Smith, Cobb, and Doyal one each.

[18] The scoring breakdown: Flowers got 5 touchdowns, Barron 4, Ferst, Allen, and Staton 2 each, Smith, Fincher, and Cobb one each.

[7] The game was nip and tuck until Everett Strupper, former Tech star playing for Gordon, fumbled, and Ferst recovered, racing 30 yards for a touchdown.

[19] Two days before the Armistice, Tech beat 1918 NC State Aggies football team 128–0.

State's only highlight came in the third quarter, when John Ripple recovered a teammate's fumble and returned the ball 75 yards for a touchdown.

Ripple became the first football player from North Carolina ever to make an All-America team when he was selected second-team All-American by Camp.

[20] The scoring breakdown: Barron and Ferst got 4 touchdowns each, Smith 3, Allen 3, Staton 2, Cobb 2, and Adams 1.

[20] After declining the challenge the previous year, Pop Warner's Pittsburgh team was set to play Georgia Tech.

[26] Warner historian Francis Powers wrote: At Forbes Field, the dressing rooms of the two teams were separated only by a thin wall.

As the Panthers were sitting around, awaiting Warner's pre-game talk, Heisman began to orate in the adjoining room.

One source relates "Guyon and Flowers were very clever at intercepting forward passes, which in a measure made up for the fumbling in an early part of the game.

[29] Georgia Tech had a scheduled game with Penn in Philadelphia canceled when the Spanish flu swept through the city.

[34] The following chart provides a visual depiction of Tech's lineup during the 1918 season with games started at the position reflected in parentheses.
