This Week in College Football History: Sept. 30 – Oct. 6 NEWS RELEASE Contacts: Phil Marwill 917-579-4256 [email protected] Olivia Kiespert 972-556-1000 [email protected] This Week in College Football History: Sept. 30 – Oct. 6 As part of an ongoing series throughout the fall, The National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame posts This Week in College Football History, which takes a look back at some of college football's landmark moments over the last 145 years. If you choose to use this content in whole or in part, as a courtesy, please credit The National Football Foundation and use the NFF logo, which is available upon request. FEATURED MOMENT Oct. 5, 2002 Texas Tech def. No. 23 Texas A&M, 48-47 (OT) College Station, Texas In typical Texas Tech offensive fashion, NFF National Scholar-Athlete and current Red Raider coach Kliff Kingsbury used the air game to light up the Texas A&M defense in a shootout of the in-state rivals. Texas Tech, trailing by as many as 18 points in the third quarter, mounted a fourth-quarter charge on a pair of Kingsbury TD tosses, one to Wes Welker and one to Taurean Henderson. Welker then returned a punt 88 yards for a score, followed by a successful two-point conversion for a 38-35 lead. A mere eight seconds later, the Aggies responded with a touchdown of their own, but they missed the extra point, giving them a 41-38 advantage. Tech capitalized on the Aggie miscue, making a 42-yard field goal with two seconds in regulation to send the game to overtime. A&M scored first, but once again missed the extra point, leaving the door open for Tech who scored on a Kingsbury pass to Nehemiah Glover. The Red Raider extra point attempt was good, giving them a 48-47 overtime win. Kingsbury went an astonishing 48-58 passing, with 474 yards (then a school record) and five touchdowns on the day. OTHER NOTABLE MOMENTS Sept. 30, 1939 Fordham def. Waynesburg [Pa.], 34-7 New York City The Waynesburg Yellow Jackets and the Fordham Rams played in the first televised football game. The game came on the heels of the first professional baseball game to be aired and less than six months after the first ever sporting event, a baseball game between Columbia and Princeton. NBC broadcasted the matchup, using only one camera to catch the action on the field of Triborough Stadium on Randall’s Island in New York City. Fordham, coached by College Football Hall of Fame player Jim Crowley (Notre Dame), was a heavy favorite and toppled Waynesburg, 34-7, in front of a viewing audience of about 500 homes. NFF Release Page 1 of 3 Oct. 1, 1895 Penn def. Swarthmore [Pa.], 40-0 Philadelphia In their first game of the 1895 season, the Penn Quakers, led by Hall of Fame coach George Woodruff (Pennsylvania, Illinois, Carlisle), took on Swarthmore in Philadelphia. It was the first game the Quakers played on Penn’s Franklin Field, the first college football stadium built in the nation. Shutting out the Swarthmore 40-0, the win marked Penn’s first of ten shutouts in the 1895 season. The Quakers went on to a perfect 14-0 season, averaging 34.3 ppg while surrendering just 1.7 ppg. Four players on the 1895 Penn team earned induction into the Hall of Fame – George Brooke, Charlie Gelbert, Jack Minds and Charles Wharton. Oct. 2, 1982 No. 2 Pittsburgh def. No. 14 West Virginia, 16-13 Pittsburgh Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino (Pittsburgh) led the No. 2 Pittsburgh Panthers to a 16-13 defeat of the No. 14 West Virginia Mountaineers in Pittsburgh. Under Hall of Fame coach Don Nehlen (Bowling Green, West Virginia), the Mountaineers held a 13-0 lead in the fourth quarter before Marino drove Pitt’s offense to two late touchdowns. Pittsburgh added a safety with just three minutes remaining for a 16-13 advantage. West Virginia’s 52-yard field goal attempt to tie the game went wide, securing the victory for Pitt. Marino ended the game 20-41 passing for 211 yards, a performance that made him Pitt’s total career offensive leader at the time. Oct. 3, 1970 No. 7 Mississippi def. Alabama, 48-23 Jackson, Miss. Hall of Famer Archie Manning (Mississippi) led the No. 7 Rebels against Hall of Fame coach Bear Bryant (Maryland, Kentucky, Texas A&M, Alabama) in front of a sold out crowd at Jackson Memorial Stadium. Ole Miss jumped out to a 14-0 first quarter lead, but the Crimson Tide clawed its way to a 26-17 third-quarter deficit. A fumbled punt recovery by Mississippi kick started a three-touchdown run by Manning and the Rebel offense, cementing an Ole Miss victory. In all, Manning, who was battling an injury, passed for 157 yards, rushed for 46 yards and scored five touchdowns (3 passing, 2 rushing.) Mississippi defeated Alabama, 48-23, giving the Rebels just their second victory over Alabama in 60 years. Oct. 4, 1986 San Jose State def. No. 19 Fresno State, 45-41 San Jose, Calif. Week five of the 1986 college football season had San Jose State taking on No. 19 Fresno State in San Jose. The 3-0 Bulldogs had not suffered a loss since 1984, and the Spartans, who had finished the previous season 2-8-1, entered the matchup at 2-2. Three first-half touchdowns gave the Spartans a 24-0 advantage at half, but Fresno State rallied back with a 31-point run. San Jose State added a pair of touchdowns in the final minute, securing a 45-41 win, the second of nine consecutive Spartan victories. NFF Release Page 2 of 3 San Jose State finished the year with a 10-2 mark, won the Pacific Coast Athletic Association Championship and defeated Miami (Ohio) 37-7 in the California Bowl. Oct. 6, 1990 No. 12 Colorado def. Missouri, 33-31 Columbia, Mo. In one of the more unusual games in college football history, the No. 12 Colorado Buffaloes topped the Missouri Tigers in Columbia after an officiating error gave Colorado an extra down with 31 seconds left to play. Known as the “Fifth Down Game,” CU backup quarterback Charles Johnson spiked the ball on first and fourth downs to stop the clock, and running back Eric Bieniemy was stopped twice just short of the goal line. A fifth down allowed Johnson to run the ball in for the game-winning touchdown. Colorado, coached by 2013 College Football Hall of Fame inductee Bill McCartney, finished the 1990 season at 11-1-1, claiming the only national title in school history.

  • Read Rick George's Full Bio
    Rick George was named athletic director at the University of Colorado on July 17, 2013, returning to Boulder where he helped play a role in the school’s first and only national championship in football some 23 years earlier. George, 59, came to Colorado from the Texas Rangers baseball club of the American League, where he was named chief operating officer on October 5, 2010 with a promotion to president of business operations in February 2013. He agreed to a 5-year contract at CU, and he officially started on the job on August 12, 2013. In June 2016, the Board of Regents approved a contract extension through 2020-21, and in June 2019, the Regents once again extended him through the 2023-24 academic and athletic year. He is just the sixth full-time athletic director in Colorado history, following in the footsteps of Harry Carlson (1927-65), Eddie Crowder (1965-84), Bill Marolt (1984-96), Dick Tharp (1996- 2004) and Mike Bohn (2005-13). Two others have bridged directors in interim capacities, Jack Lengyel (six months between Tharp and Bohn) and Ceal Barry (two months between Bohn and George). His list of achievements in his first 1,000 days in the position were many, but none more significant than shepherding through a $156 million Athletic Complex Expansion from creation through fruition, gaining approval from the Board of Regents and then raising nearly one-half of the estimated cost to initiate construction, which began May 12, 2014. The project was the core of the Sustainable Excellence Initiative (SEI), the jewel of which was a long-awaited indoor practice facility.

  • David Cutcliffe Named Walter Camp 2013 Coach of the Year
    For Immediate Release: December 5, 2013 Contact: Al Carbone (203) 671-4421 - Follow us on Twitter @WalterCampFF Duke’s David Cutcliffe Named Walter Camp 2013 Coach of the Year NEW HAVEN, CT – David Cutcliffe, head coach of the Atlantic Coast Conference Coastal Division champion Duke University Blue Devils, has been named the Walter Camp 2013 Coach of the Year. The Walter Camp Coach of the Year is selected by the nation’s 125 Football Bowl Subdivision head coaches and sports information directors. Cutcliffe is the first Duke coach to receive the award, and the first honoree from the ACC since 2001 (Ralph Friedgen, Maryland). Under Cutcliffe’s direction, the 20th-ranked Blue Devils have set a school record with 10 victories and earned their first-ever berth in the Dr. Pepper ACC Championship Game. Duke clinched the Coastal Division title and championship game berth with a 27-25 victory over in-state rival North Carolina on November 30. Duke (10-2, 6-2 in the Coastal Division) will face top-ranked Florida State (12-0) on Saturday, December 7 in Charlotte, N.C. The Blue Devils enter the game with an eight-game winning streak – the program’s longest since 1941. In addition, the Blue Devils cracked the BCS standings for the first time this season, and were a perfect 4-0 in the month of November (after going 1-19 in the month from 2008 to 2012). Cutcliffe was hired as Duke’s 21st coach on December 15, 2007. Last season, he led the high- scoring Blue Devils to a school record 410 points (31.5 points per game) and a berth in the Belk Bowl – the program’s first bowl appearance since 1994.

  • Famed CU Coach Eddie Crowder Dies Page 1 of 3
    Famed CU coach Eddie Crowder dies Page 1 of 3 Famed CU coach Eddie Crowder dies By Neill Woelk Originally published 09:09 a.m., September 10, 2008 Updated 12:45 p.m., September 10, 2008 Eddie Crowder, the man who took Colorado’s football program to national prominence as a coach and set the stage for one of the school’s most successful eras as its athletic director, died late Tuesday. He was 77. Crowder had been battling a blood disorder for the last few months, and was weakened by a recent fall at his home. Crowder leaves an unmatched legacy at CU. No other man has had more of an influence on Colorado’s athletic department, with that influence spanning more than four decades. As the football coach for 11 years, Crowder led CU to a No. 3 finish in the nation in 1971, five bowl games and a 67-49-2 record, including CU’s first 10-win season in 1971. As CU’s athletic director for 21 years, he took Colorado into the era of big-time college athletics. He also recovered from what he would later call his “biggest mistake” — the hiring of Chuck Fairbanks as the Buffs’ football coach — to set the stage for what would become a golden era of CU athletics. “Eddie Crowder held Colorado athletics together,” said former Big Eight commissioner Chuck Neinas. “Let’s be candid — Colorado has never had the resources of an Oklahoma or Nebraska. “But in large part, they’ve been able to complete with those schools on a fairly regular basis because of the efforts of a guy like Eddie.” Crowder’s influence is still being felt at CU.

  • 82Nd Annual Convention of the AFCA
    82nd annual convention of the AFCA. JANUARY 9-12, 2005 * LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY President's Message It was an ordinary Friday night high school football game in Helena, Arkansas, in 1959. After eating our pre-game staples of roast beef, green beans and dry toast, we journeyed to the stadium for pre- game. As rain began to fall, a coach instructed us to get in a ditch to get wet so we would forget about the elements. By kickoff, the wind had increased to 20 miles per hour while the temperature dropped over 30 degrees. Sheets of ice were forming on our faces. Our head coach took the team to the locker room and gave us instructions for the game as we stood in the hot showers until it was time to go on the field. Trailing 6-0 at halftime, the officials tried to get both teams to cancel the game. Our coach said, "Men, they want us to cancel. If we do, the score will stand 6-0 in favor of Jonesboro." There was a silence broken by his words, "I know you don't want to get beat 6-0." Well, we finished the game and the final score was 13-0 in favor of Jonesboro.
