This week, we are going back to one of the most challenging times in American history for the next team to put our spotlight on. The Great Depression had begun a few years prior, but the Bulldogs football team was at its best as they won 25 games without a loss over these three seasons. They were the final three seasons under legendary coach Don Faurot.

In 1932, the Bulldogs went 8-0 and allowed just 14 points.
