College football history began in 1869 when the first intercollegiate college football game was played between Princeton and Rutgers. There were 25 players to a side. The ball could only be advanced by kicking or being butted with the head. It wasn't like anything we know today called football.
From there began a march towards the American football we love today. Colleges started with "mob soccer" or "mob football", such as that played in 1869. Then they converted to Rugby because of the influence from McGill University out of Montreal, Canada.
Then came the rules that make American football the distinct game from soccer, rugby, or any other game in the world today.
This video is about the years from 1869 to around 1890 and the rules that created our wonderfully loved game of American football.
