The 1893 New Hampshire football team[a] was an American football team that represented New Hampshire College of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts[b] during the 1893 college football season—the school became the University of New Hampshire in 1923. This was the first year that the college fielded a football team, which lost the only game it played.

Schedule[edit]

Scoring during this era awarded 4 points for a touchdown, 2 points for a conversion kick (extra point), and 5 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[edit]

  1. ^ The school did not adopt the Wildcats nickname until February 1926;[1] before then, they were generally referred to as "the blue and white".
  2. ^ The school was often referred to as New Hampshire College or New Hampshire State College in newspapers of the era.
  3. ^ College Football Data Warehouse identifies the opponent as Newmarket High School, while the Wildcats' media guide[2] and the contemporary The Enaichsee do not specify a high school team.
