Here are a few of the crazier numbers from last night’s game with Savannah State1
84 – the most points OSU has ever scored in a modern day football game. The old record was against Southern Illinois (1973) and Kansas (2011). The all-time record was against a school called Phillips in 1914. OSU put up 134, that would have been easy last night.
26 – the NCAA record for consecutive completions in a season is 26 by Aaron Rodgers. Wes Lunt is at 11 right now.
562 – the ROTC guys did 562 push ups. That’s a new record by 161 push ups.
13 – the all-time NCAA record for extra points kicked in a game is 13 by Wyoming in 1949. OSU had 12 last night.
12 – OSU scored 12 TDs in the 1991 season. OSU scored 12 TDs last night.
395 – OSU’s 395 rushing yards were the 16th most in school history. And its 682 total yards are the 7th most in school history.
8 – with 107 yards Joe Randle had his 8th career 100-yard rushing game.
100% – no quarterback in OSU history has ever completed 100% of his passes in a game until Wes Lunt did last night (min. 10 attempts).
1991 – the last time an FBS team scored more than 84 points in a game. (Fresno St. had 94 against New Mexico) (courtesy of ESPN stats)
3 – this is the third straight game OSU has scored 60+ in a season opener (courtesy OSU media relations)
94 – through three quarters, 94 of OSU’s 119 players had played in the game. There wasn’t a final count but I would imagine that number got up over 100.
35 – OSU tied its record for most points in a single quarter with 35 in the first. It’s crazy to me that they also scored 35 in a quarter against a Big 12 team last year.
9 – OSU set a new school record with nine rushing TDs, the old record was seven against UTEP in 1977.
474 - Savannah State’s punter put up 474 yards in the air last night. I don’t even have a joke…
1 – OSU leads the nation in points scored and total yards.
- Obviously since the game was against Savannah State, you should probably take all of these with full mine of salt. ↩
The recap on FSN said that everyone played.
That last stat is the best of all.
In the Kansas game last year Weeden and Chelf threw for over 200yds each.
Welp, I’m a moron.
At least there was one significant positive; all of the alumni dying to see the new Freshman QB got our wish….I think we got to see the starting offense on the field almost seven whole minutes…..Savannah’s head coach is a true gentleman; he thanked Gundy for being so gracious (taking the starters out so quickly) and completely understood you can’t tell 2nd and 3rd string guys not to score….
Wish Gundy would’ve let Lunt play more then 7 mins!!!
So in 1991 we basically WERE Sav St. and I was there to witness it. Thank God for Eddie Sutton…
Before yesterday, has there ever been an opponent that our top five walkons would start for?
I’m glad that we didn’t pile on unnecessarily, but it would have been so much better to at least get to see Lunt for at least a fucking half.
What about some defensive highlights? First shutout since… First in FBS in points allowed…etc
