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

In 2018, Army beat Houston in a bowl game 70-14

They outrushed Houston 507 to 90 lmao

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.
