74th Conference Game in a Row without a loss.

Wow. That's almost impressively bad.

 

[iowajerms]

Jan. 1, 1946 Rose Bowl. Bama 34 USC 14. Bama makes USC's asses quit, take their ball and run home, and tie in with the Big10 for all future Rose Bowls. Probly the single most important day in college football history, shaping the landscape of college football forever.


"This was the last Rose Bowl game played with "at large" teams from outside the Pac-8/Big 10 conferences. These two elite conferences openly admitted restricting the Rose Bowl, because they were tired of getting beaten by teams playing "hillbilly ball". The same reason they cited for not inviting them pre-1920."

Hmm, interesting. I got Bama's 1926 Rose Bowl win over Washington. So, I will have to consider which one I want to include: the 1st play by the "South" that earned them respect from the "North" or the one that changed the way the Rose Bowl picked their teams.

Nov 19 1983 Oregon State at Oregon the last 0-0 tie in college football.

November 30, 1974 USC vs. Notre Dame - USC overcomes a 24-0 deficit to win 55-24 in the "Anthony Davis Game."

That was the first college football game I ever attended live.

Spoiler

It sucked

9/10/2011: In the first ever prime-time night game in Michigan Stadium, Michigan's star quarterback Denard Robinson threw a 16-yard touchdown pass to Roy Roundtree with 2 seconds left to lift the Wolverines to a thrilling 35-31 win over Notre Dame in a wild game that saw three TDs in the last 1:12.

10/30/2004: Braylon Edwards caught two touchdown passes to help Michigan (No. 11 ESPN/USA Today, No. 11 AP) erase a 17-point fourth-quarter deficit in just 5:44 and grabbed a third TD in triple overtime to lift the Wolverines to a 45-37 win over Michigan State.

Interestingly enough, that was the same year Michigan State blew a 16 point lead in the final 8 minutes against Notre Dame at home, by giving up 3 TD's in a span of less than 5 minutes, and capped it off with an interception as they were driving down 3. Still can't believe ND won that game. Worked out pretty good for Sparty, I'm confident that game ultimately lead to the firing John L. Smith and the hiring of Dantonio.

That game won't register with anybody except for ND/Michigan fans.

Here's a list of a few (some may be repeats apologies, I haven't read the whole thread). These are from my old NCAA games college classics mode.

December 19th 1980 SMU-BYU Holiday Bowl- Known as the "Miracle Bowl". Monster Comeback from BYU. Down 45-25 with 4 minutes left. BYU had a huge comeback to win the game 46-45 on a last second hail mary.

November 20th 1982 Cal-Stan The Play- The miracle kick return where the band runs on the field. We all know this one don't we?

November 23rd 1983 BYU-Mizzu Holiday Bowl- BYU down late calls a run play, running back throws it back to Steve Young who runs for the winning td to give BYU a 21-17 win. Young scored a rare combo of running receiving and passing tds.

January 1st 1984 Miami-Nebraska Orange Bowl- The game that started a dynasty. A classic back and fourth that came down to nebraska scoring late to tie it. Tom Osborne decides to go for the win with a 2-pointer. It fails and canes win their first national title.

November 23rd 1984 Boston College-Miami The Hail Flutie- Doug Flutie gives Boston College a huge win over their rival with a last second monster Hail Mary. Flutie goes on to win Heisman.

November 30th 1985 Auburn-Alabama Iron Bowl- Known as "the kick", this was one of the greatest iron bowls ever. Great back and fourth game. Tigers held a 23-22 lead late. Alabama needs a 52 yarder to win, the kicker makes the field goal as time expires to win it. Bammers go wild :P.

January 2nd 1987 Miami-Penn State Fiesta Bowl- The unofficial first "national title game" pitted number 1 Miami and number 2 Penn state. Miami shows up to the game in military fatigues, brash and confident, Penn state buttoned up and disciplined. Game was actually moved to prime time on jan 2nd to give it stand alone time. Penn State upsets Miami, picking off Vinny Testaverde to win the title! This game began the scramble for an annual 1 vs 2 matchup. (also, halftime show featured an interview with Ronald Reagan).

Will be continued.
