The 1909 Rose Polytechnic football team represented Rose Polytechnic Institute—now known as Rose–Hulman Institute of Technology—as an independent during the 1909 college football season. Led by second-year head coach Heze Clark, Rose Poly compiled a 4–4 record, and played a tough schedule that included Vanderbilt, Notre Dame, Kentucky State College, and Purdue. Against Notre Dame, Rose Poly was crushed 60 to 11, but managed to score the first touchdown against the Fighting Irish in two years.[1]
