Best Answer

For the 1912 College Football season, the field was changed from 110 yards to 100, with the addition of two 10-yard end zones.

The width of the field (160 feet) was in place from around 1906, dictated largely by the size of the field at Harvard, which was one of the football powerhouses of the day.
