No better way to inaugurate a stadium than running through Penn State's ass like shit through a tin horn.

400+ rush yards to 48 is just a mind blowing stat

255

Is 365 the largest rushing yards difference between two teams on the season? Maybe decade? It sounds like a record that could be 60 years old or 60 days old, I have no idea.

Edit: According to Google AI Overview (which I obviously trust fully, it would never lie to me) the record is 696 in a 1988 game between Oklahoma and Kansas State

Mark D’Onofrio. It’s simple, he loses games. Do not google him.

Houston was coached by Major Applewhite, and he was fired after that loss.

Wasnt this game a mutiny by the team on him?

Applewhite never had control of that 2018 team. Ed Oliver belittling him on the sideline during their win over Tulane was just the canary in the coal mine.

What a beautiful game that was. Triple Option executed to perfection!

2015 bowl game between BU and UNC. Baylor outrushed UNC 651 to 244. First one that came to my mind.

Baylor went through like 6 QBs that season and started a WR at QB in the bowl. They absolutely steamrolled through UNCs D that game. 84 rushing attempts.
