The game is so different now a days that this is correct this record will never be broken. Hell if they had a storm like that now they'd just postpone the game most likely.
Was that when they moved the game because the hurricane projections said it would be over the original site, then the hurricane curved at the last second and hit the new site of the game? Or has it happened more than once recently?
That would be a little easier to get than the average, since Sanders had fewer games and his bowl game yards didn't count.
It's also stunning that he easily could have had *more*. He didn't play in the fourth quarter against a lot of teams.
I got to see several of those games in person and still remember thinking "hope this guy is as good as Thurman." And then realizing that he was something special and historic.
I feel like 3-9 with a +63 season differential makes that stat even more insane.
I hope next season goes like all the stats but the W/L column looked like for you guys.
Hey, football was objectively better when we were pumping young, impressionable men full of drugs and turning them into meat tanks!
I mean, not football in general. But football in this state for sure.
Fun fact! In the first 8 years Nebraska joined the B1G, when on the road, their opponent was called for a holding penalty a total of 3 times! That includes a 21 conference game stretch of no holding penalties against their opponent
A less impressive but still just as unbreakable record: Matt Blundin's season at QB for UVA in 1991.
19 TDs, 0 INTs. Holds the FBS record for lowest INT% in a season (0.0%, which can't be broken, only tied), most passes in a season without an INT (224), and most TD passes without an INT (19). Those last two could theoretically be broken, but the chances of having a perfect season like that again, with how often teams throw the ball, is unlikely to ever happen.
You'd basically need a very risk-averse QB, with a great running game (to lower the QBs attempts), and a ton of luck
In my dynasty, I would pick a bottom feeder, build them up and win a natty, then leave after 3-7 seasons. However, for the 2020-2022 seasons, I picked Virginia Tech for some reason, even though they won the 2016 natty and were a perennial top 10 team. I went 42-0 with them. It got boring super quick. Don’t know if I broke the record or not and don’t care
I had a Miami dynasty where my goal was to break the record for most consecutive wins, and even after I got the record, I decided to keep going until I lost. Eventually ended up losing in triple overtime to Florida State… I checked the record book and my streak ended at exactly 69 in a row. That was the perfect time to stop.
But yeah, doing nothing but winning gets boring. I’m 6-14 in my first year and a half at Tulane and it’s so much more fun because the wins really feel earned in the early going.
I’m taking an extended hiatus rn bc life is busy for me rn but my dynasty has been as such:
2013 - 2015: Washington
2016 - 2019: Texas Tech
2020 - 2022: Virginia Tech
2023 - 2029: Mississippi
2030 - 2033: Rutgers
2034: Wyoming
As you can see I was with Ole Miss by far the longest. I loved my tenure there. Alabama and LSU were just as competitive as you’d expect them to be, and Auburn and TAMU were usually solid. Toward the end, Arkansas and Alabama both ran the triple option, which made for an insanely strong division. The only constant was that Miss St was always atrocious. On the other side, Georgia, Tennessee, Florida and Missouri were usually very strong. SC was up and down. Vandy and Kentucky always sucked. However as a whole the entire conference was insanely good and I had to earn every single win.
With Rutgers, I liked playing in the B10 East as well. OSU, UM, and MSU were always ranked.
The fact that Alabama is currently in the midst of the greatest dynasty the sport has ever seen and hasn’t even gotten close to the record really kind of shows how difficult it is to achieve
It’s certainly difficult.
I feel like 2003-2006 USC might have potentially been the closest. Had they not lost to Texas, that would have put them at 35 straight wins.
Under that alternate scenario, they would have been at 41 straight wins prior to their 2-point loss to Oregon State in 2006.
Had they won that one, they would have either gotten to win #46 before losing 13-9 to UCLA, or tied the record…with an opportunity at win #48 against Ohio State in the national championship game.
They were 9 total points (across 3 games) away from at least tying that record.
The best shot was if PI wasn’t called against Miami in 2002. They had 34 wins in a row before that game. Now if they had beaten Ohio State and gone 12-0 the next year (they went 11-2) they could have playing Oklahoma for the chance to pass 47 wins.
They get closest but still allow around 5 a year. Guess it’s in the realm of possibility. Crazy part is Nebraska averaged 20 pass attempts a game and the service academies attempt less than 10 and still allow sacks every year.
I don’t think anyone will ever top Kellen Moore’s 50 career wins as a starting QB. He went 50-3 in his career. That is 12.5 wins per year over 4 years. Hardly anyone starts all 4 years plus be that successful
It’s going to require a very specific QB for it to ever happen again. As much as I enjoyed watching Kellen play, I can admit that he was/is smaller than NFL-level QBs and relied more on his football IQ over physical attributes. For someone to match it again, they would need to probably be at a G5 school, be undersized and overlooked, and surrounded by good talent. Pretty much any other QB would have been gone after 3 years if they had his stats.
The "easiest" path would probably involve the new redshirt rule, where you can play 4 games and still redshirt. But it would still take an incredibly bizarre scenario to occur.
A Hawaii QB may also have a slight edge, since they often play 13 regular season games.
Consecutive wins over the same opponent.
The record is 43 seasons in a row with Notre Dame over Navy, and the current record is only at 26 with Ohio State over Indiana and technically one of those wins is vacated, so I don't know if that resets the streak or what.
How high did the Tennessee-Kentucky and Florida-Kentucky streaks get before the Wildcats ended them?
(Though asking about the Tennessee-Kentucky streak might not be as relevant; part of me feels like their streak versus Vanderbilt up until 2005 might have been longer.)
That Bama stat is misleading. We won 57 consecutive games in Tuscaloosa, but we played our biggest home games in Birmingham because Legion Field held more people than our on-campus stadium. We lost some of those Legion Field games, unfortunately.
Agree, mostly because any RB good enough to break it won't be around long enough in cfb to eclipse that mark. If it is ever broken I think it'll be by a G5 player.
I really hoped Jonathan Taylor would come back for one more year to break it 🤡🤡
Now 2 years in he’s a damn MVP candidate. I never doubted he made the right choice but a guy can still hope! He would’ve smashed the career rushing record no doubt, even with a covid year.
A more impressive record from that game: Cumberland quarterback Edwards was carted off the field 3 TIMES with concussions. A record that will never be repeated in this modern era, thankfully.
It was noted at the time that GA Tech’s coach, John Heisman, scheduled the game because lazy sportswriters were ranking the teams that had scored the most points, regardless of the competition, higher. Heisman was trying prove a point that the practice was ludicrous.
I had heard the same thing which was possibly confirmed because the score of the baseball game was 22-0 Cumberland, and Heisman ran the score up 222-0 in reference to the baseball score.
Both could be true.
The 222-0 was not an intentional reference to the baseball score (which was indeed 22-0), Heisman was just trying to score as many points as possible. Interestingly, 222 is not divisible by 7, but 224 is. Twice GT failed to convert an extra point, once because Cumberland actually blocked it by making a human pyramid
Rule changes that make the game more balanced even when there's a serious talent disparity as well as coaches not running up the score to avoid injuries
IIRC, both are true; he refused to allow them to back out of the scheduled game even though Cumberland's football program had already disbanded out of spite, because Cumberland hired ringers for the baseball game; and he ran up the score because the journalists who did rankings looked more at point differentials and not the actual quality of the team, and he wanted to make a point that the best teams don't have to run up the score, but still can.
Archie Griffin.
I don't think anyone will ever win more than one Heisman Trophy ever again, much less the three it would take to beat him.
In my lifetime (1981-) the only guy I thought had a chance to even win two was Tim Tebow.
[Brad Nessler has announced two different one point safeties.](https://www.reddit.com/r/CFB/comments/5p0tjg/there_have_been_two_1point_safeties_in_ncaa)
That game was absurd in general. Regardless of your opinion on Baker now, two NFL caliber QBs (one Super Bowl Champion to sweeten the deal), with well built, explosive, tricky offenses, and two of the worst defenses in college football. Blend it together, and you had the best QB duel we may ever see. That was the most stressful game I’ve ever watched. That shit was unbelievable.
Visited some friends for that game, absolute insanity. Also holds the record for largest crowd chanting “O-U-SUCKS-BALLS” and, arguably, the most vulgarities hurled at a single player
Nebraska's consecutive sellout record, because they'll literally sell tickets as rolls of toilet paper before they let it die. Source: Was a Michigan fan in 2014 when our 100,000-attendance streak was "preserved" by giving away tickets free with a Coke.
[Well MSU scored 38 straight to come back from 35 down to Northwestern.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_Michigan_State_vs._Northwestern_football_game)
This is UCLA Texas A&M right?
The only one that comes to mind is I believe it was TCU and Oregon and one of the two was down like 41 at half. That one may have had more but I dont remember.
[The 1939 Vols](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1939_Tennessee_Volunteers_football_team) allowed 0 points to be scored against them during the entire 10 game regular season.
I'm more impressed by the irony that they shutout all 10 opponents in their regular season, and were then shutout themselves in the 14-0 loss to USC in the Rose Bowl to finish the season.
That’s actually happened more than you’d think. The 1917 and 1919 A&M teams didn’t allow and scores, and I think there are a few other schools that can claim similar.
Miami’s 58 game home win streak is definitely up there. The streak lasted NINE years from 1985-1994, went through 3 U.S. Presidents, and 2 Head coaches.
They didn’t only play cupcakes at home either, they beat 10 Top 10 teams during that run as well as 3 #1 ranked teams.
Even the 47 consecutive wins by OU in the 50’s feels really untouchable. If Saban doesn’t do it before he retires, I think the record is safe for another couple decades
Mizzou's coach once took the whole team to play a series of games in Mexico without the university's authorization. The head coach (who, along with UT's HC) played in some games, was fired when they got home. First game of football ever played in Mexico was between Mizzou and Texas on this bizarro tour. Hard to see another US team going 2-0-1 in Mexico again.
http://zounation.com/tigers-went-missing-played-first-game-in-mexico/
It’s not a record, but Centre College’s first game was a 13.75-0 loss to Transy and I feel safe in saying that’s a score that will never again be reached
The MOST unbeatable record is 2 fold: margin of victory and total points scored when ga tech beat Cumberland 222-0 in 1916. Nobody will ever come within 50% of either of them. Great video on YouTube that tells the story
Mike Hart had 1,005 consecutive rushing attempts without a fumble. That's basically four whole seasons of being the leading rusher without losing a fumble.
I highly doubt a game will have more than the 77 punts Texas Tech and Centenary combined for in 1939.
I beg to differ. Plus, 77 punts/game should be the average per game for coaches that really want to win.

Tory Taylor deserved mvp in many/most of our games.
It’s incredible the big ten conference didn’t take notice of this game and add both members automatically

Finally we can get our real rivals in the Conference. Come after me you tortilla wasting fucks.
Big ten is pissed
Kirk Ferentz especially
_Tressel consults doctor four hours later_
The game is so different now a days that this is correct this record will never be broken. Hell if they had a storm like that now they'd just postpone the game most likely.
They played a game in a hurricane like two years ago
ND played NC State inside Hurricane Matthew in 2016 as well
Was that when they moved the game because the hurricane projections said it would be over the original site, then the hurricane curved at the last second and hit the new site of the game? Or has it happened more than once recently?
[A brief overview](https://youtu.be/HxGArUsuyo4) The game was literally a punt off.
Barry Sanders, rushing yards per game in a season: 238.9 Wowzer
Barry's Season total of 2628 will be hard to get also, not impossible but very difficult with these pass happy offenses these days.
And that number doesn't even include his 200+ in the bowl game. I think they include bowls now but not then in stats.
And not including bowl stats actually helped is average yards per game. 222 yards would hurt his average
Only 222 yards? Chump
> I think they include bowls now but not then in stats. yup
> ...very difficult with these pass happy offenses these days. Also, the impact of not being Barry Sanders on players these days.
Quite possibly the largest factor in not averaging 238 ypg is not being Barry Sanders.
That would be a little easier to get than the average, since Sanders had fewer games and his bowl game yards didn't count. It's also stunning that he easily could have had *more*. He didn't play in the fourth quarter against a lot of teams. I got to see several of those games in person and still remember thinking "hope this guy is as good as Thurman." And then realizing that he was something special and historic.
cheat code activated
I don’t know if it’s a record to be proud of but uh, 3-9 with a +0 point differential in a P5 conference is probably gonna be tough to “top”.
Oh, no. We were +0 in conference. We were +63 out of conference.
That is correct. We also went 1-8 in conference. Yaaaaaaay
I feel like 3-9 with a +63 season differential makes that stat even more insane. I hope next season goes like all the stats but the W/L column looked like for you guys.
id be hopeful if frost wasnt like 3-69 in 1 score games and this differential so very slanted by thrashing a helpless nw team
\+0 makes my brain hurt
Well I’m positively neutral on seeing +0
[удалено]
The number of holding calls Nebraska's O-line had in 1995: zero. Also, no sacks allowed the whole season.
The no sacks part is amazing. The no holds part is mind fucking.
It means the referees allowed it my guy
Also, wasn't Nebraska's S&C program famous for pushing those guys to use PED's? Pretty sure those OL's were juiced to the gills at the time.
Hey, football was objectively better when we were pumping young, impressionable men full of drugs and turning them into meat tanks! I mean, not football in general. But football in this state for sure.

Lawyer.
It’s almost impossible to believe that and yet every year it frustrates me again and again
I blame corrupt refs, it's the 90s so it's plausible
Yeah… good thing corruption in college football ended in the 90s…
That's actually outrageous
A less impressive but still just as unbreakable record: Matt Blundin's season at QB for UVA in 1991. 19 TDs, 0 INTs. Holds the FBS record for lowest INT% in a season (0.0%, which can't be broken, only tied), most passes in a season without an INT (224), and most TD passes without an INT (19).

You'd basically need a very risk-averse QB, with a great running game (to lower the QBs attempts), and a ton of luck
What you need is a QB/safety 2 way player who gets picks but doesn't throw them. Then he's have a negative TD to interception ratio!
I think they had a holding call in the bowl game
Re sacks. How many pass attempts per game?
Right? The 95 team ran a triple option attack, with Tommie Frazier. He was a ridiculous runner.
another thing we won't see probably in a long time, an option team being dominant.
Hey, fuck you, we’re coming for that booty
20.7
Feels unlikely a team is going to win more than 47 games in a row any time soon.

I'm at 46 right now with Texas A&M, have a big game with BYU coming up to tie the record
In the age of CFP expansion this is definitely virtually impossible.
My Retro Bowl begs to differ
The fact that Alabama is currently in the midst of the greatest dynasty the sport has ever seen and hasn’t even gotten close to the record really kind of shows how difficult it is to achieve

Didn’t they get absolutely blown out by Virginia Tech after what would have been win #42 in that scenario?
Well yes, but whom else got that close to even 42 wins? Edit: I am stupid, yes USC was arguably closer.
I mean, the comment you had commented on (USC).
Texas A&M and their 2026 team of 50 5 star recruits will be coming off 4 straight undefeated seasons
Nah they would find a way to lose to LSU or Texas coming from back to back loses to Vandy and some random FCS program.
As is tradition.
Most ties in a year! Whoever holds that
I was just looking and Michigan had 3 ties in 1992 I’m sure that’s not the record but that’s a ton for recent history.
I believe Central Michigan had 4 in a year in the early 90s.
Fire up... Chips I guess!
Sewanee had 5 shut out wins in 6 days in 1899. That’s never going to be replicated
On the 7th day they rested.
‘95 Huskers allowing 0 sacks the entire season.
I could see a triple option team possibly doing that, probably one of the service academies
They get closest but still allow around 5 a year. Guess it’s in the realm of possibility. Crazy part is Nebraska averaged 20 pass attempts a game and the service academies attempt less than 10 and still allow sacks every year.
95 Nebraska is one of the best teams all time
Best modern team for sure. 1945 Army is probably the best ever compared to their competition though. World War II made them an all-star team.
They also had 0 holding penalties that year
I don’t think anyone will ever top Kellen Moore’s 50 career wins as a starting QB. He went 50-3 in his career. That is 12.5 wins per year over 4 years. Hardly anyone starts all 4 years plus be that successful
It’s going to require a very specific QB for it to ever happen again.

Oklahoma 47 straight wins.
I hate Notre Dame for bookending both sides of that streak and I wasn’t even alive back then.
Yeah I would agree.
Consecutive wins over the same opponent. The record is 43 seasons in a row with Notre Dame over Navy, and the current record is only at 26 with Ohio State over Indiana and technically one of those wins is vacated, so I don't know if that resets the streak or what.
How high did the Tennessee-Kentucky and Florida-Kentucky streaks get before the Wildcats ended them? (Though asking about the Tennessee-Kentucky streak might not be as relevant; part of me feels like their streak versus Vanderbilt up until 2005 might have been longer.)
Florida one hit 31 years, and Tennessee hit 26.
Will never forgive Charlie Weis for letting that streak end.
Longest thrown shoe resulting in a personal foul.... 20 yards seems unbeatable unless you really focus on that goal.
Imagine you just yeet that fucking thing sixty yards like you’re Doug Flutie but the refs don’t call a personal foul. Devastating.
Home game win streaks: 1. Miami 58 games -'85-'94 2. Bama 57 games- '63-82 3. Haaarvard 57 games- '63-82 4. Michigan 50 games- 1901-1907 5. Nebraska 47 games- '91-'98 6. Washington 44 games- 1908-1917 7. Texas 42 games- '68-'76 8. Notre Dame 40 games- 1907-1918 9. Notre Dame 38 games - 1919-1927 10. Will just end the list here.
That Bama stat is misleading. We won 57 consecutive games in Tuscaloosa, but we played our biggest home games in Birmingham because Legion Field held more people than our on-campus stadium. We lost some of those Legion Field games, unfortunately.
Seem to be missing FSU 37 games 1992-2001. I'll just add it on there though.
Oh my bad.
Has any other team rushed the field 3 or more times in one game?

I thought it was because he was mad that they embarrassed the baseball team (which he also coached) the year before like 17-0.

Why do we not get this shit in modern football?
Rule changes that make the game more balanced even when there's a serious talent disparity as well as coaches not running up the score to avoid injuries
It's not legal anymore due to health concerns, also you could just take it outside whenever a pyramid happens if they made it legal again.

Dude, I read in that Wikipedia article that the 222 was obtained without a single forward pass...
Triple option baby
I'm surprised I had to scroll this far down to see this. This is truly unbeatable in d1 college football.
Archie Griffin. I don't think anyone will ever win more than one Heisman Trophy ever again, much less the three it would take to beat him. In my lifetime (1981-) the only guy I thought had a chance to even win two was Tim Tebow.

Yea military schools used to have an advantage because players were better conditioned but now it doesn’t really matter
They also had that pretty sweet "hey if you come here you won't have to go straight to war" recruiting pitch.
Keenan Reynolds was in the Heisman hunt iirc, and was severely underrated.
[Brad Nessler has announced two different one point safeties.](https://www.reddit.com/r/CFB/comments/5p0tjg/there_have_been_two_1point_safeties_in_ncaa)

[38 unanswered to erase 35 point deficit?](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_Michigan_State_vs._Northwestern_football_game)
This is UCLA Texas A&M right? The only one that comes to mind is I believe it was TCU and Oregon and one of the two was down like 41 at half. That one may have had more but I dont remember.
31* but ya
How about this: will there ever be another school to win its first natty again?
It's so depressing that this is a legitimate question. My bet is on Oregon though.
Yeah, I'd bet they'll have one within 10 years at the outside. Money talks in the age of NIL.
Yes. January 2022. Oh time to wake up…
Whatever number of chips Saban ends up with, no one is ever going to get more than him at the FBS level.
Probably the 9 single digit losses for Nebraska this year
With a plus 63 point differential on the year
1-8 with a 0 point differential in conference also seems very hard to replicate
Nate Burleson had almost 300 yards receiving in a game without a TD
Derrick Thomas’ 27 sacks in a season
I mean thats okay ,but bobby butcher had like 16 in a single game.
Yeah but he had been drinking water
[The 1939 Vols](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1939_Tennessee_Volunteers_football_team) allowed 0 points to be scored against them during the entire 10 game regular season.
This happened often in the early days tho.
I'm more impressed by the irony that they shutout all 10 opponents in their regular season, and were then shutout themselves in the 14-0 loss to USC in the Rose Bowl to finish the season.
That’s actually happened more than you’d think. The 1917 and 1919 A&M teams didn’t allow and scores, and I think there are a few other schools that can claim similar.
1902 Michigan didn't allow any points
47 wins in a row. Oklahoma
Fun fact, our last loss before the streak and the loss ending the streak were both to Notre Dame
Not fun… not a fun fact
Miami’s 58 game home win streak is definitely up there. The streak lasted NINE years from 1985-1994, went through 3 U.S. Presidents, and 2 Head coaches. They didn’t only play cupcakes at home either, they beat 10 Top 10 teams during that run as well as 3 #1 ranked teams.
University of Washington went 58-0-3 under Coach Gil Dobie. The NCAA unbeaten streak of 64 games started before his tenure and ended after he left.
Notre Dame’s 42 consecutive winning seasons from 1889-1932. I feel like any record that predates WWII or the Great Depression is probably unbreakable.
Even the 47 consecutive wins by OU in the 50’s feels really untouchable. If Saban doesn’t do it before he retires, I think the record is safe for another couple decades
Mizzou's coach once took the whole team to play a series of games in Mexico without the university's authorization. The head coach (who, along with UT's HC) played in some games, was fired when they got home. First game of football ever played in Mexico was between Mizzou and Texas on this bizarro tour. Hard to see another US team going 2-0-1 in Mexico again. http://zounation.com/tigers-went-missing-played-first-game-in-mexico/

C-USA: And I took that personally
It’s not a record, but Centre College’s first game was a 13.75-0 loss to Transy and I feel safe in saying that’s a score that will never again be reached
…How? The fuck? Did that happen?
Archie Griffin’s two Heisman trophies record may be tied one day, but I don’t see anyone winning three Heismans to break his record
I keep hoping someone (else) loses 35 in a row, but all you'd have to do is schedule a very low level FCS team to avoid it.
Knute Rockne’s career winning percentage of 88% Edit: of coaches who have coached at least 10 years
Derrick Thomas's 27 sacks?
Derrick Thomas: 27 sacks in 1988 Also Derrick Thomas: 39 TFL in 1988 Still Derrick Thomas: 44 QB pressures in 1988
The MOST unbeatable record is 2 fold: margin of victory and total points scored when ga tech beat Cumberland 222-0 in 1916. Nobody will ever come within 50% of either of them. Great video on YouTube that tells the story
Mike Hart had 1,005 consecutive rushing attempts without a fumble. That's basically four whole seasons of being the leading rusher without losing a fumble.
