In their third and final season under head coach Donald E. Fuoss, the Rams compiled a perfect 8–0 record, shut out four of eight opponents, and outscored opponents by a total of 299 to 31.[1] Shepherd has a record of 4–0 in conference play, winning the WVIAC title.[2]
It was the first WVIAC championship in the history of athletics at Shepherd.[3] It was also the first perfect season in 30 years of Shepherd football history.[4] The Rams out-gained opponents by an average of 397.8 yards per game to 160.1 yards per game.[1] Only one other team in the country scored more points than Shepherd,[5] and that team played one more game than Shepherd.[6] Its average of 33.9 points per game was the highest in the country.[4] The team was inducted into the Shepherd University Athletic Hall of Fame in 2016.[7]
The team's key players included quarterback John Shearer, halfbacks George Hott and Barry Hall, and ends Bill Gaskins and Dick Widdows.[8][9][3] Shearer led the WVIAC in total offense (1,278 yards) and passing (1,002 yards).[10] Hott led the conference in scoring.[11]
In the fall of 1955, Shepherd was a small college with an enrollment of 1,600 students. There were no athletic scholarships, no grants-in-aid, and no booster club.[1] The Rams played their home games in Shepherdstown, West Virginia.
