Book excerpt: This is the true story of how a small East Tennessee university with 326 students became America's all-time greatest football team and achieved records that likely will never be surpassed. Sewanee University, also known as The University of the South, in 1899 compiled an unbeaten season, with only one team scoring on them. And the team completed the most amazing journey in sports history, travelling more than 2,000 miles in one week and playing games against five of the nation's most respected major university teams, winning them all by shutouts. In 2012 Sewanee was named America's all-time greatest college football team by The College Football Hall of Fame.
