It was in 1895, in the first of the two games between Georgia and North Carolina, in which North Carolina completed the first recorded forward pass ,[12] John Heisman , the North Carolina quarterback was trying to punt the ball but, because the punt was about to be blocked, he threw the ball instead. Another North Carolina player caught the ball and scored a touchdown on a 70-yard play. Georgia coach Pop Warner complained to the referee that the play was illegal, however, the referee let the play stand because he did not see the pass.[12]
Georgia's starting lineup was Ferrell (left end), Price (left tackle), Connally (left guard), Cochran (center), Moore (right guard), Kent (right tackle), Killorin (right end), Barrow (quarterback), Nalley (left halfback), Morris (right halfback), and Stubbs (fullback).[13]

On November 2, Georgia beat Alabama 30–6.[13]
Sewanee [ edit ]
In Atlanta, Georgia beat Sewanee 22–0.

Vanderbilt beat Georgia 6–0. The Bulldogs disputed the touchdown and left the contest in a forfeit. Pomeroy fumbled and Vanderbilt's Elliott scored.[14]
