Edmund Orgill Trophy

The Edmund Orgill Trophy is awarded to the winner of the annual football game between Rhodes College and the Sewanee: The University of the South. The rivalry between Rhodes and Sewanee was erroneously reported by Sports Illustrated in 2012 to be "the longest continuously running rivalry in college football in the Southern United States"[1] - though the first game was played in 1899, the teams have not met in every succeeding season. The Orgill Trophy was added to the series in 1954. Rhodes currently leads the trophy series 31-27-1, while Sewanee leads the overall series. The most recent game on October 1, 2016 was a 36-21 Rhodes victory at Sewanee in which the Rhodes offense set a conference record for total offense with 684.
