For College Football, the 1920's meant Knute Rockne. He practically invented the passing game and many modern strategies. I recommend "The Knute Rockne Story" on video, and there are many wonderful websites as well devoted to this great man.

The National Football League, then called the American Professional Football Association, was founded in 1920. The Akron Professionals where the first APFA champion with an 8-0-3 record. There were no playoffs in 1920; whoever had the best regular season record was crowned champion. The first APFA game was between the Dayton Triangles and the Columbus Panhandles on October 3, 1920. Only two of the charter teams from the 1920 season are still in existance. The Decatur Staleys are now the Chicago Bears and the Chicago Cardinals are now the Arizona Cardinals.
