The 1927 East Tennessee State Teachers football team was an
American football team that represented East Tennessee State Teacher's College—now known as
East Tennessee State University (ETSU)—as an independent in the
1927 college football season. They were led by third-year coach
John Robinson. Robinson was assisted by William "Willie" Flinn Rogers, who taught history and government at the school from 1925 to 1968. According to Old Hickory, the 1927 season presented Robinson with a similar task to previous years, which was to develop a team out of "green material". The team finished with a 2–5 record, which included wins in their last two games over
Hiwassee and
Bluefield. Of their losses, they were blanked in all except against
Concord, where they scored six points.[1]
