[Researched by KCD students]

I am doing some Notre Dame football research from the 1903 season and noticed some other scores.
On October 17, the University of Kentucky defeated KMI, 18-0. Not a bad showing!

Here’s the UK football record for that year:

Kentucky State           L       0-5
Cynthiana                  W      39-0
Georgetown                W      51-0
KMI                         W    18-0
Berea College             W      17-0
Marietta                      W       11-0
Miami (OH)               W      47-0
Xavier                            W      21-0
North Carolina State W      18-0

Looks like KMI was on a par with a lot of college teams.
