The 1908 Wabash Little Giants football team represented Wabash College during the 1908 college football season. [1] In Ralph Jones's first season as head coach, the Little Giants compiled a 2–6 record, but still managed to outscore their opponents 95 to 65, thanks to a 62–0 blowout of Franklin in the season opener, and a plethora of close losses against Rose Polytechnic, St. Louis, Michigan Agricultural, Miami (OH), and Notre Dame, all of which were one score games.
