The 1913 Auburn Tigers football team represented Auburn University in the 1913 Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association football season. The team was coached by Mike Donahue and was undefeated at 8–0, outscoring opponents 224–13. Auburn was the champion of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association. The team played just two games at home.[1][2]

The Tigers were retroactively recognized as a national champion by the Billingsley Report's alternative calculation which considers teams' margin of victory. Under Billingsley's primary methodology, Chicago was recognized as the national champion.[3][4] Although it is a recognized national championship,[5] Auburn does not claim the title, but does acknowledge it in its official media guide.

Before the season

Since Auburn's tie with Vanderbilt last year, teams other than Vanderbilt had a chance to win a title, and newspapers covered football more than the World Series for the first time.[6]

Coach Donahue built his team around his defense, which played out of a 7–2–2 scheme. The team was led by senior captain Kirk Newell. One source reads "Coach Donahue loved the fullback dive and would run the play over and over again before sending the elusive Newell wide on a sweep."[7]

Kirk Newell of Auburn and Bob McWhorter of Georgia played their last games. At the 25-yard line, from a freak formation, Georgia's David Paddock pass the ball to Logan who caught it on the run and into the endzone for the first score of the game.[24] Red Harris got over a score in the second period. In the third quarter, Auburn had driven to the 11-yard line, and Donahue pulled Harris for Christopher. The Georgia team expected a buck, and committed to stopping it.[24] Newell skirted around right end for 7 yards. Christopher eventually plunged in from the 4-yard line. Later, from the 35-yard line, Newell had a run to the 7-yard line, chased out of bounds by McWhorter.[24] Christopher again got the touchdown.[24]

Newell gained 1,707 yards that year, 46% of the team's entire offensive output;[18] and 5,800 yards rushing, 350 yards receiving, and 1,200 yards on punt returns for his career.[19] One writer claims "Auburn had a lot of great football teams, but there may not have been one greater than the 1913–1914 team."[20] Newell went on to be a World War I hero and member of the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame.[21]
