The 1901 New Hampshire football team[b] was an American football team that represented New Hampshire College of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts[c] during the 1901 college football season—the school became the University of New Hampshire in 1923. The team finished with a record of 0–6, and did not score any points during the season.

Schedule[]

Scoring during this era awarded five points for a touchdown, one point for a conversion kick (extra point), and five points for a field goal. Teams played in the one-platoon system and the forward pass was not yet legal. Games were played in two halves rather than four quarters.

Notes[]

  1. ^ While no coach is listed in the University's media guide, The New Hampshire College Monthly made several mentions of a coach, W. R. Crowell, "an ex-Dartmouth football player."[1]
  2. ^ The school did not adopt the Wildcats nickname until February 1926;[3] before then, they were generally referred to as "the blue and white".
  3. ^ The school was often referred to as New Hampshire College or New Hampshire State College in newspapers of the era.
