Let's be honest. Alabama could've scored 100 puts on A&M last yr. Saban put the walk-ons in the game and took a mercy knee

Ole Miss - 1979 vs Vanderbilt (63-28)
Miss State - 1915 vs Ole Miss (65-0)
Texas A&M - 2012 vs Auburn (63-21)

Florida - 2008 vs Kentucky (63-5)
Georgia - 2014 vs Kentucky (63-31)
Kentucky - Never
Missouri - Never
S. Carolina - 1995 vs Miss State (65-39)

Great job on the research.

Florida beat Kentucky in 2008 with that score though, not Vandy.

It has happened a couple of times since 2001. Kentucky scored 63 in a seven overtime loss to Arkansas in 2003. East Carolina scored 61 in a 64-61 loss to Marshall in the 2001 GMAC Bowl.

I never understood how in the old days, the scores were either 7-3 or 70+ to 0. It's like they occasionally had to play against an intramural squad.

Unless I missed one, our last was in 1995 when we beat Mississippi State 65-39 in Starkville...

Yeah, I don't know if the scoring was different, the parody was just that shitty, or what but there are some ridiculous scores from the early 1900s. There are several instances where teams scored in the 100s. I know while skimming the scores for this thread, there was one year where Arkansas lost to Oklahoma 103-0. Alabama beat Marion Institute 110-0 in like 1922. And there is the infamous game where Georgia Tech beat Cumberland 222-0.

Think I heard on radio one day, that Cumberland had disbanded their football team, but GT wouldn't let them out of the game, so they used their baseball team.

I have to imagine that a lot of the scoring spreads back then had to do with the fact that the rules didn't allow for a lot of the strategies that we see today. I don't even think the forward pass was legal yet in the nineteen-teens. So football was mostly a straight contest of strength, speed, and execution. If two teams were evenly matched, the game would be close. If one was significantly stronger and faster than the other or one was not well-drilled, the scores could get out of hand because there wasn't much the lesser team could do to try and even the fight.

Just my guess.

If that is true it is comical because supposedly this was Georgia Techs revenge after their baseball team had been embarrassed by Cumberland earlier that year.

It has been a while...I had to look the most recent up.

Arkansas 2000 - 63-20

So...it has been 15 years...there were a lot over 55...but this was the most recent over 60.

Tennessee fielded a club team that season...because their real football team Volunteered to play in Europe for a couple of years.

Edit - didn't see Conway's post. Taneyhill was 38-44 that day for 473 yards. Gamecocks scored 194 points over 3 consecutive games that season in October.

And sometimes both even within the same season.

On November 11, 1900, LSU beat Millsaps 70-0.

Nineteen days later, on November 30, Millsaps beat LSU 6-5.

Also, in a stretch from 1897 to 1906, 46 of 48 LSU games ended in shutouts (LSU went 28-17-1 in those 46 games).

Maybe not the last time, but LSU scored the following on Tulane:

1958: LSU 62 - Tulane 0
1961: LSU 62 - Tulane 0
1965: LSU 62 - Tulane 0

(I think they had to go for two in '65 to get 62, with the crowed egging them on.)
