GREENEVILLE, Tenn. -- Tusculum allowed minus-100 total yards and minus-124 yards rushing to set NCAA single-game records in both categories Thursday night in a 71-0 victory over the College of Faith.

Tusculum, a Division II school, had three safeties.

The previous record for fewest total yards allowed was minus-69, by Division II school Fort Valley State against Miles in 1993. The previous record for fewest yards rushing allowed was minus-112, by Division III program Coast Guard against Wesleyan (Connecticut) in 1989.

Faith ran the ball 36 times.

Welp, I know where I could walk on and start immediately. At one of probably 10 positions.

That had to be one of the worst football games of all time, no?

Thanks.


An online school with a football team.

Have you ever read the background on that game? Its pretty crazy.

quote:

Cumberland College, a school in Lebanon, Tennessee, had discontinued its football program before the season but was not allowed to cancel its game against the Engineers.[1][2] The fact that Cumberland's baseball team had crushed Georgia Tech earlier that year 22–0 (amidst allegations that Cumberland used professionals as ringers) probably accounted for Georgia Tech coach John Heisman's running up the score on the Bulldogs, Heisman also being the Engineers' baseball coach.[1][2] He insisted on the schools' scheduling agreement, which required Cumberland to pay $3,000 ($65,018 in inflation-adjusted terms) to Tech if its football team failed to show.[1][2] So, George E. Allen (who was elected to serve as Cumberland's football team student manager after first serving as the baseball team student manager) put together a team of 14 men to travel to Atlanta as Cumberland's football team.[2]

FWIW, UTEP won the game 35-0. I smell a number of defensive TD's in that one...
