Led by third year coach Bill Fetzer, the Wildcats competed as a member of the South Atlantic Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SAIAA). Despite a record of 6–4 (1–2 SAIAA), some would call Davidson the second best southern team that year.[1] Davidson defeated Auburn 21 to 7, in one of the great upsets in Southern football history,[2] and scored the most on the 1917 Georgia Tech Golden Tornado, for many years considered the greatest football team the South ever produced,[3] in a 32 to 10 loss. Following the Auburn game the Davidson team was first referred to as "the Wildcats. The team included a 17-year-old Buck Flowers, and two other All-Southerns in Wooly Grey and captain Georgie King. The backfield consisted of Flowers, quarterback Henry Spann, halfback Jack Black, and fullback Buck Burns.[4] Schedule{{CFB schedule| rankyear = |{{CFB schedule entry | date = September 29 | w/l = l | nonconf = y | away = y | opponent = Navy | site_stadium = Worden Field | site_cityst = Annapolis, MD | score = 6–27 }} |{{CFB schedule entry | date = October 6 | w/l = l | away = y | opponent = North Carolina A&M | site_stadium = Riddick Stadium | site_cityst = Raleigh, NC | score = 3–7 }} |{{CFB schedule entry | date = October 13 | w/l = l | nonconf = y | away = y | opponent = Georgia Tech | site_stadium = Grant Field | site_cityst = Atlanta, GA | score = 10–32 }} |{{CFB schedule entry | date = October 20 | w/l = l | away = y | opponent = VPI | site_stadium = Miles Field | site_cityst = Blacksburg, VA | score = 7–13 }} |{{CFB schedule entry | date = October 27 | w/l = w | neutral = y | opponent = VMI | site_stadium = | site_cityst = Danville, VA | score = 23–7 }} |{{CFB schedule entry | date = November 3 | w/l = w | nonconf = y | away = y | opponent = Furman | site_stadium = | site_cityst = Greenville, SC | score = 28–7 }} |{{CFB schedule entry | date = November 10 | w/l = w | nonconf = y | neutral = y | opponent = Auburn | site_stadium = | site_cityst = Atlanta, GA | score = 21–7 }} |{{CFB schedule entry | date = November 17 | w/l = w | nonconf = y | opponent = Wake Forest | site_stadium = | site_cityst = | score = 72–7 }} |{{CFB schedule entry | date = November 24 | w/l = w | nonconf = y | opponent = Wofford | site_stadium = | site_cityst = | score = 62–0 }} |{{CFB schedule entry | date = November 29 | w/l = w | nonconf = y | neutral = y | opponent = Clemson | site_stadium = | site_cityst = Charlotte, NC | score = 21–9 }} }}[5] Season summaryWeek 3: at Georgia TechDavidson scored the most on the south's first national champion – Georgia Tech, for many years considered the greatest football team the South ever produced,[3] in a 32 to 10 loss. This was the only game none of Tech's backs gained 100 yards rushing. Tech only led 6 to 3 until Everett Strupper broke open the game in the second half.[6] Davidson got desperate and tried the pass, getting to within the 15-yard line. Walker Carpenter broke through the line and got a 10-yard loss.[7] Davidson captain Georgie King said “I consider Georgia Tech the best football team I have ever played against or ever expect to play against.”[8] Week 7: Auburn{{AFB game box start| Title = Week 7: Davidson at Auburn | Visitor = Davidson | Host = Auburn | V1 = 0| V2 =7| V3 =7| V4 =7 | H1 = 0| H2 =0| H3 =7| H4 =0 | Date = November 10 | Location = Atlanta, GA | StartTime = | ElapsedTime = | Attendance = | Weather = | Referee = Lewis (Virginia) }}
