The 1905 Wabash Little Giants football team represented Wabash College during the 1905 college football season.[1] Although the team ended the season with six wins and six losses, [2] the team managed one of its most impressive upsets when it defeated Notre Dame, 5–0, at South Bend. It proved to be the Fighting Irish's only home-field loss in 125 games between 1899 and 1928.[3][4] Notre Dame had originally considered the game a "practice game" and expected to win easily when the game was scheduled the previous year, but began to take the team more seriously as the 1905 season developed.[5]
