The 1906 St. Louis University team was the first to throw a legal forward pass in a regular-season game and threw the ball better and more often than any other team that season, leading to an 11-0 season. Most striking about the 1907 team was that they never had more than 16 players on the team -often only 13- so they could not scrimmage in practice.
