The Titan gridiron programs had some great team, but none were better than the 1928 Titans. In fact, not many were better in the nation that season as U-D was named a co-national champion after going 9-0. They shutout seven of their nine opponents and outscored their counterparts by a combined total of 267 to 27 under fourth year under head coach and College Football Hall of Fame inductee, Gus Dorais. Some of the wins included 39-0 over DePaul, 46-0 over Louisville, 39-0 versus Michigan State and on December 1, 1928, the Titans defeated Georgetown, 33–13, before a record crowd of 30,000 at Dinan Field.
