Lt. John Beckett led the team to back-to-back undefeated seasons in 1921 and 1922. In 1921, and before a crowd of 16,000 in Baltimore, the Marines defeated the Army III Corps, coached by Major Dwight Eisenhower, 20–0. Frank Goettge was the backfield star of the 1921 team. Walter Camp, after seeing Goettge play against the III Corps one year, wrote: "Today, for today at least, I saw my greatest all-time football player; for today at least greater than Jim Thorpe on a good day. The big fellow's name is Frank Goettge. He is a young Marine Lieutenant from Ohio." Goettge, a Colonel, would die on Guadalcanal in 1942.[3] The major highlights of the 1922 season were a 9–6 victory over Georgetown (an Eastern power at the time) and a 13–12 victory over III Corps. The game with III Corps was held in Baltimore before 50,000 fans including 12,000 Marines, the Secretaries of War and the Navy, Governors of Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia and 100 members of Congress. The Marines saw their winning streak end with a 6–0 loss to VMI in the 1923 season opener. Quantico would only lose one other game during the season, a 26–6 defeat at Michigan. "Support for the team reached an all-time high during a game against the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, during the Corps’ anniversary in 1923. Thousands of Marines and fans traveled from Quantico on special trains to attend the game. Many of the Marines spent their entire month's paycheck and more just to pay for the venture."[4] A game clock malfunction prolonged the game for 82 minutes and the officials called off the "fourth quarter". Despite the two losses, the 1923 team shutout six teams during the season, including a 39–0 victory over Villanova. The Marines improved in 1924, with only a 13–13 tie to Vanderbilt preventing a perfect season. This would prove to be Beckett's last year coaching the Marines. In four years, they were 30–2–2 for a .937 winning percentage. J. Tom Keady took over the head coaching duties for the 1925 season, but Quantico didn't fare as well, finishing with a 6–3–1 record. But Keady would return the Marines to the ranks of the undefeated, coaching the team to a 10–0 record in 1927. After Keady completed his Quantico career, he would have more wins than any Marines head coach, finishing with a 45–12–3 record from 1925 to 1930. The Marines had another undefeated season in 1948 (13–0), including shutouts over eight teams. A 27-game winning streak would end in 1949, a 29–7 loss to Xavier (Ohio). Xavier would win a 34–13 rematch in 1950, but one highlight of the season was a 61–21 win over Virginia Tech. The 1956 squad would not only beat Xavier (27–13), but beat Boston College 20–6 en route to a 9–3 record. The 1958 Marines pulled off the upset of 9–0 Rutgers (ranked No. 19) 13–12. Coach Capt. Will Overgaard led the Marines to an 11–0 record in 1959, the last perfect season for Quantico. The 1962 season would see five games canceled because of the Cuban Missile Crisis, and two games were canceled in 1963 because of the assassination of President Kennedy. In the 1965 season finale at Butler Stadium, Quantico (a two-touchdown underdog) pulled off the upset of Memphis, 20–14. In 1972, Quantico would play their last season of football. Finishing with an 8–4 record, the Marines beat Akron 24–0 late in the season, and Xavier 34–0 in the season finale. The program was discontinued by 1973. Yearly records
