"Smashmouth Football" That term came from the way the game of
American Football was coached and played in the end of the 19th
Century and the early years of the 20th century. This book was
written by Charles Dudley Daly who played Quarterback at Harvard in
1898 to 1900. He then transferred to West Point and played
Quarterback there in 1901 and 1902. In 1907 he became an Assistant
Coach at Harvard and in 1913 he was hired as the Head Coach at West
Point and stayed there until 1922. He was inducted into the College
Football Hall of Fame in 1951. Coach Daly compared the game of
football to war and that's how he played and coached the game.
Almost all of the well known, best coaches of the time used
basically the same principles in training and game planning as
Coach Daly describes in this book. "The defensive line man may take
a low position inside his opponent and make a straight charge with
one hand on the throat and the other on the face, thus moving the
opponent by steering his head. Or he may, in charging, step to the
outside, striking a blow on the side of the opponent's head."
