I don’t mean facts like “Gerald Ford played at Michigan” or “Oklahoma has shut out Oklahoma State more times than Oklahoma State has beaten Oklahoma”. I mean that shit that NOBODY knows, except maybe fans of the teams the facts are about (or people who are just huge nerds)
Mine are, in increasing order of obscurity:
- Baylor had an offensive lineman named Robert Griffin that was taken in the same NFL draft as Robert Griffin III
- Gus Malzahn’s first and last games as Auburn’s HC were against Mike Leach, and Gus Malzahn was the first of three consecutive Auburn coaches to be a former Arkansas State coach. Gus Malzahn also faced his next two successors while at Auburn.
- Tennessee and Missouri played in 2017 and 2018, both times resulting in a 50-17 win for Missouri, and on the same day as that 2018 game, another SEC game resulted in a score of 50-17 (Alabama vs Citadel)
- Iowa State is the winner of the only two college football games to end in a score of 57-19. (vs South Dakota State in 1952 and Colorado in 1962)
