There are bizarre college football games, and then there’s what we watched transpire in Dallas, TX on Saturday night. SMU scored its first touchdown in less than two minutes of action, and the scoring never stopped throughout the night.
Plenty of footprints disrupted both end zones in the 4-hour contest, an anomaly of a game which featured 20 touchdowns and 140 points. SMU was crowned the victor of one of the great college football shootouts of all time by defeating Houston in 77-63 fashion. With a score like that, one can only assume it was a record-setting day for many involved, so here are some interesting notes and records set in Saturday’s unfathomable barnburner.
