Who doesn't love a college football shootout? Some of the most memorable NCAA football games of all time have been high-scoring affairs that featured very little defense.

Technically, the highest-scoring game in college football history was in 1916, when Georgia Tech destroyed Cumberland 222-0. Cumberland disbanded its football program the year before, but Georgia Tech threatened legal action if they didn't play the game. Cumberland's baseball captain assembled a team at the last minute, which consisted of his fraternity brothers and law school students. Cumberland didn't record a first down all game. The final two quarters were shortened from 15 minutes to 12 minutes because it was such a blowout.
