‡ New Hampshire and the Quantico Marines practiced together in Durham for two weeks in September,[16] including a scrimmage on September 18.[17] The game played on September 25 was won by the Marines, 24–0.[18][19] The game is not listed by the Wildcats' media guide or College Football Data Warehouse,[20][15] possibly because players for the Marines were members of the active military rather than college students.[21]
