The 1923 East Tennessee State Normal School football team was an American football team that represented East Tennessee State Normal School—now known as East Tennessee State University (ETSU)—as an independent in the 1923 college football season. They were led by second-year head coach James Karl Luck. The 1923 season was considered one of the worst seasons in school history as the team suffered five losses by a margin of 38 points or greater, including a 108–0 blowout at the hands of King. The season marked the first time the team played Tennessee, albeit the freshmen team, losing 49–7.[1]
