After Coach Joe Thompson led the Pitt eleven to a surprising 6–2–1 record in 1909 with only four returning players, the Pitt Athletic Association, students, faculty and fans were looking forward to another successful season in 1910. Captain Homer Roe and Frank Van Doren were the only losses to graduation. All the returning players already knew the Coach Thompson system. The schedule that Graduate Manager Hurst assembled was weaker than previous years as Carlisle, Notre Dame and Bucknell were missing. Georgetown, Carnegie Tech and Ohio University were the replacements and Pitt had no away games. Significant games played by Pitt during the 1910 season included victories over West Virginia (38–0), Washington & Jefferson (14–0), and Penn State (11–0).[11] The first two games were played at D.C. & A.C. Park and the final seven at Forbes Field. The football game programs for this season were "The First Annual Football Yearbook" put out by the University of Pittsburgh Athletic Committee. For ten cents one received seventy-two pages of Pitt sports history.[12] The covers were photos of prominent University officials: Chancellor Samuel Black McCormick (Washington & Jefferson game), Dr. Albert Frost, Dean of the Faculty of the College and Engineering School (West Virginia game ), and Coach Thompson (Penn State game).[13] The University would continue the Yearbook style program through the 1926 season. The Pitt Weekly school newspaper debuted on September 26, 1910 and covered the football season in depth. The results of the season were much better than anyone had anticipated. Pittsburgh shut out all nine of its opponents, outscored opponents by a combined score of 282 to 0, and finished with a perfect 9–0 record in their second year under head coach Joseph H. Thompson.[11][14]
The Pitt Weekly, Wed., Nov. 30, 1910 wrote:
"By defeating Penn State on Thanksgiving Day, 1910, the Pitt Varsity under "Joe" Thompson and "Tex" Richards, piled up a record that stamps it as the greatest team that ever defended the Gold and Blue. During the whole season not an opponent was able to cross their goal line. And what a great finish it was to beat Penn State by eleven points!" [15]
After the highly successful 1910 football season both record wise and financially, the 1912 edition of the Owl Yearbook summarized the situation best:
"The remarkable success attained by the representatives of the University of Pittsburgh on the athletic field during the year of 1910 marks the high–tide of athletic activity at this institution. Until a few years ago athletics in Pittsburgh were unorganized and the teams were unworthy to represent an institution of higher learning....In 1904 a number of enthusiastic Alumni took up the General Athletic Committee and arranged for a foot-ball coach and training table, and a schedule that put Pitt on the athletic map. Since that time the organization has been perfect, the student enthusiasm has been enlisted, and steady progress the result. The latest improvement has been the installation of the graduate coaching system. Joseph H. Thompson has proved to be the right man in the right place, as championships in foot-ball and track go to prove. Joe has developed a "Pitt system," one that will place the University of Pittsburgh among the great names in intercollegiate sports."[16]
The 1910 Pitt team has been recognized as a co-national champion by the National Championship Foundation.[17] However, Pitt did not play games against any of the leading football teams and Harvard was recognized as champion by more selectors.[18]
The 1910 edition of the University of Pittsburgh football team made its debut on October 2 at D.C. & A.C. Park in Wilkinsburg. The opponents were the Ohio Northern Polar Bears from Ada, Ohio. They were coached by former Pitt player Snuff McKeown. The Ohio offense spent the first quarter in Pitt territory, but the Pitt defense kept them from scoring. Coach Thompson made two substitutions at the break. Tillie Dewar replaced Norman Budd at quarterback and Karl Dallenbach replaced Walter Hinchman at guard.
In the second quarter the Pitt offense began to penetrate the Ohio defense and was on the Bears' five-yard line as time expired in the first half. The third quarter belonged to the Pitt offense as they scored five unanswered touchdowns. On Pitt's first possession Dewar returned a punt forty yards to the Ohioans ten-yard line. Captain Tex Richards scored on the next play. Minutes later Dewar raced sixty yards for the second touchdown. Tex Richards continued the onslaught with a twenty-five yard scamper for a touchdown, followed by a ninety yard kickoff return score. Tex was replaced in the lineup by his brother Dave. On the next possession Pitt halfback William Hittner broke the line of scrimmage and had clear sailing but tripped after gaining thirty-five yards. Halfback Rosenbloom finally plunged into the end zone from the one. Center Ralph Galvin was successful on all five points after and Pitt led 30 to 0 entering the final quarter.
Coach Thompson was pleased and made wholesale substitutions. Hittner atoned for tripping and closed out the scoring with an eighty yard gallop around left end. Galvin was good on the point after. The game ended with the score 36–0. Ohio Northern would finish the season with a 2–5 record.

On October 8 the outweighed Westminster Titans from New Wilmington, Pa. gave the Pitt team a battle for all four quarters.
For the second straight week, the Pitt offense did not score in the first quarter. They kept the ball in Titan territory but could not finish a drive. Center Ralph Galvin missed both a thirty-three yard and a twenty yard field goal attempt.
Two minutes into the second quarter guard Henry Blair recovered a Westminster fumble by quarterback McClure on the Titan twenty-yard line. Fullback Tex Richards pounded the ball into the end zone for the first score. Galvin converted the point after and Pitt led 6 to 0. McClure (140 lbs.) decided to punch Galvin (240 lbs.) out of frustration and the referee readily disqualified McClure and stepped off the penalty. Captain Richards convinced the officials to allow McCLure to stay in the game. The Pitt offense advanced the ball to the Titan five-yard line prior to halftime but were unable to score.
Halfback Charles Quailey was replaced by William Hittner and Tillie Dewar stepped in at quarterback for Norman Budd to start the third quarter. Pitt's halfback Rosenbloom fumbled away their first possession of the half on the Titan fourteen-yard line but Westminster promptly punted out of trouble. The Pitt offense did not waste this possession as Captain Richards carried it into the end zone from the six for his second touchdown of the afternoon. Galvin converted the point after and Pitt led 12 to 0. The final score was made by two hundred and forty-five pound center Ralph Galvin on a five yard plunge. The Pittsburg Press described it as "when he hit the line it was like a battering ram going up against an attacking army."[3] Galvin was successful on the point after and Pitt won the game 18 to 0.

On October 15, the Pitt football team opened the Forbes Field part of their schedule with resounding success against the Waynesburg Yellow Jackets. The Pitt defense held Waynesburg to seven total offensive yards. The Pitt offense pretty much scored at will. They completed nine of ten forward passes.
Freshman Hube Wagner started the game at fullback and scored the first touchdown. Center Ralph Galvin scored minutes later and he also converted both extra points.

On October 22 the first "hard" game on the schedule was at Forbes Field against the Blue and Gray of Georgetown University. Three thousand noisy rooters watched the action. Both teams brought bands. "Hail to Pitt" was introduced to the football crowd at this game. The words were written by head cheerleader George Kirk, class of 1913, and the music was written by Lester Taylor, class of 1912.[23] Both teams were undefeated.
On Pitt's first possession fullback Tex Richards' pass was intercepted by Georgetown halfback Fury. He raced toward the end zone but was tackled by Richards and fumbled the ball back to Pitt. The Pitt offense was able to advance the ball but both center Ralph Galvin and end Jack Lindsey missed field goals. The first quarter was scoreless.
Pitt's first possession of the second quarter started on the Georgetown 50-yard line. Quarterback Tillie Dewar gained sixteen yards on first down. Captain Tex Richards scampered around the left end to the three. On first down Tex Richards followed guard Henry Blair across the goal line. Ralph Galvin kicked the point after and Pitt led 6 to 0. On Pitt's next offensive series they started again at midfield but the Georgetown defense stiffened. On third down Pitt faked a punt and Richards completed a pass to Jack Lindsey on the twenty.

He promptly broke through the Pitt defense and barreled seventy yards before being tackled by Tex Richards on the ten-yard line.
The Pittsburgh Daily Post wrote "The Pitt captain's offensive work stood out all day, as it has in practically every game of the season, and when he made good in the "ultimate moment," for any football artist, by such a beautiful tackle, in the face of strong interference, his admirers gave full vent of their feelings."[26] The staunch Pitt defense stiffened and Mountaineer fullback Baughman's field goal attempt was no good. The halftime score was 11-0.
At the start of the second half, Mountaineer halfback Kinsey had his chewing gum lodge in his throat when being tackled and he had to be rushed to the hospital. He did recover.[26] Early in the third quarter Galvin was successful on a field goal to extend the lead to 14–0. On their next possession Pitt quarterback Tillie Dewar scored on a fifteen yard dash.

November 12, 1910 Pitt vs. W. & J. game ticket stub
On November 12, the Washington & Jefferson Red and Black tried to defeat the so far undefeated, untied, and unscored upon Pitt eleven at Forbes Field. Twelve thousand raucous fans endured a game-long snowfall to cheer on their team. The Post-Gazette noted "It was a cheering duel throughout. The Pitt men were in the east bleachers with a band and they gave their cheers and yells, while in the western part of the field the W. & J. men held out. They cheered everybody connected with W. & J. During the intermission the Pitt students paraded around the gridiron, making a big "P" in the center of the field."[8]
Due to the inclement weather, the game turned into a punting duel. The first quarter was played in the Red and Black territory but the Pitt offense could not capitalize. They advanced the ball to the eight-yard line and turned it over on downs. On their next possession center Ralph Galvin missed a twenty-two yard field goal.
Early in the second quarter the Pitt offense moved the ball to the W. & J. six-yard line and fullback Tex Richards fumbled. W. & J. punted and Galvin missed a thirty-three yard field goal. After another W. & J. punt, the Pitt offense broke the scoring drought with a three yard scamper by Tillie Dewar. Galvin missed the extra point and the score was 5 to 0 Pitt at halftime.
The second half mirrored the first with much punting and good defense from both teams. On Pitt's first possession, Galvin kicked a twenty-four yard field goal to extend the lead to 8 to 0. Pitt guard George Bailey and Red and Black quarterback Forsythe traded punches and the officials disqualified them both. At the end of the third quarter Galvin missed a chip shot field goal.

1910 Pitt football yearbook used for Pitt vs. Penn State game program
On Thanksgiving afternoon eighteen thousand fans from all parts of the state congregated at Forbes Field to see if the Pitt eleven could complete the season unbeaten, untied and unscored upon. Both student sections had their band parade them to the stadium and entertain the crowd with their fight songs. The Nittanies had an impressive 5–1–1 record and were favored by the odds makers to win the game.[29] Both teams were healthy and the weather was perfect at kick-off. Rain fell during the second half which caused some slipping by the running backs but the crowd stayed until the referee called time.
The game started out as a defensive battle with much punting. On Pitt's second possession Ralph Galvin missed a forty-two yard field goal. On Pitt's next possession Tex Richards completed a pass to William Hittner to the seven yard line of State. First down: Hittner gained four yards to the three. Second down: Tillie Dewar gained one yard to the two. Third down: George Brown fumbled but Karl Dallenbach recovered on the one foot line. Fourth down: Tex Richards plunged into the end zone. Galvin missed the point after and Pitt led 5 to 0 at the end of the first quarter.
In the scoreless second quarter, Galvin missed a forty-five yard field goal. State College completed a forty yard pass play to the Pitt ten-yard line, with George Brown making a touchdown saving tackle for Pitt. The Pitt defense then stiffened and State turned the ball over on downs.
The third quarter was a continuation of the punting duel. State fans were encouraged when center Watson intercepted a pass and had a clear field in front of him but he slipped on the mud.
Pitt owned the fourth quarter. After Weaver of State College intercepted a Richards pass, State attempted a quick kick. The punt was shanked and ended up in Pitt end Hube Wagner's hands. He ran unmolested for a forty-five touchdown. Galvin made the point after and the score was 11 to 0. A few possessions later Norman Budd returned a punt fifty-five yards for a touchdown but Pitt was called for an illegal block. State College could not penetrate the Pitt defense and the game ended a short while later with Pitt in possession on their fifty yard line.
Pitt earned possession of the Spalding Trophy for a year.[30]
