72 points, most allowed in Houston's school history.

Was 66 points by UCLA (1997) and Louisville (2003) until last night.

so the most we have ever allowed was to Houston, and the most they have ever allowed was to us?

Rice put up 146 on SMU in 1916.

wow - hope i don't ever see that one broken. Must be something about that dang city.

How now Jack Pardee?

How was that even possible in the good old leather helmet days?

In that same year Georgia Tech defeated Cumberland 222-0

But does Cumberland even play football anymore? Man you must have had to really search for that one LOL.

Old age and a memory (not to mention physique) of an elephant. Wasnt around quite that long ago, but I have heard that fact mentioned by broadcasters two or three times during my life.

I did a book report, I believe in 6th grade on the Cumberland game. No first downs for either team. GT scored on every play they ran and Cumberland never made one. Not sure if you are credited with a first down when you score now but apparently were not then.

And yes, it was played before I was in 6th grade, and yes the reason I chose that book is that it was the thinnest in the library.

The Flying Wedge was amazing.

Better than the Swinging Gate?

Saw Oregon run the swinging gate last night and they scored 2 points with it.

Cumberland didnt actually play football that year. They had disbanded the football team after the previous season, John Heisman forced them to honor the contract in response to a thrashing that Cumberland put on their baseball team 22-0 (Heisman was the baseball coach as well, they also though Cumberland used some non-college professionals as well).

Kind of like UT then.
