In its first season under head coach Eddie Cochems, the team compiled a perfect 11–0 record and outscored opponents by a total of 407 to 11. The forward pass became legal in 1906, and Saint Louis is credited by some with having thrown the first legal forward pass in a September 5, 1906, game against Carroll College.http://daily.phanaticmag.com/2007_08_01_archive.html Courtesy of the National Football Foundation, "This week in college football history", The Phanatic Magazine, August 31, 2007 April 8, 2019 April 15, 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140415080635/http://daily.phanaticmag.com/2007_08_01_archive.html usurped Football authority and College Football Hall of Fame coach David M.
