1935 Johnson City Buccaneers football team

The 1935 State Teachers College, Johnson City Buccaneers football team was an American football team that represented East Tennessee State University (ETSU) in the 1935 NCAA football season. It was the sixteenth season of East Tennessee State (then known as State Teachers College, Johnson City) football. They were led by fourth-year head coach Gene McMurray, who was a graduate of Maryville College and Columbia University. He was one of few coaches in the South to hold a doctorate. Prior to coaching for the school, he coached at Erwin and Rockwood High Schools, and also spent three years at Milligan College. The 1935 team marks the first time the football team was called the Buccaneers, which Coach McMurray is credited with coming up with. The team had a successful season with a second-place finish in the Smoky Mountain Conference and a 5-3 record.[1]
