The 1905 Yale Bulldogs football team was an American football that represented Yale University as an independent during the 1905 college football season. The team finished with a 10âÂÂ0 record, shut out nine of ten opponents, and outscored all opponents by a total of 227 to 4. Jack Owsley was the head coach, and Tom Shevlin was the team captain.
There was no contemporaneous system in 1905 for determining a national champion. However, Yale was retroactively named as the national champion by Caspar Whitney and Parke H. Davis.
Four Yale players were selected as consensus first-team players on the 1905 All-America team. The team's consensus All-Americans were: quarterback Guy Hutchinson, halfback Howard Roome, end Tom Shevlin, and guard Roswell Tripp. Other key players included halfback Samuel F. B. Morse and tackles Robert Forbes and Lucius Horatio Biglow.
