Hell 50 years ago there used to be a shite ton of games end 0-0 because everybody thought it was cool to play so scared that it was acceptable to punt on 3rd down
More like 70 to 80 years ago. By 1969 0-0 would be about as rare as it is today. 3rd down punts were almost always "quick kicks" where coaches used a back to punt Aussie style to flip the field when there was no punt returner. A rolling punt could go 60 to 70 yards. They were surprisingly effective.
Worst Game: In 1939 Texas Tech played Centenary to a 0-0 tie in a game that featured 67 punts on 1st down. The field was so wet and sloppy that it was practically impossible to hold onto the ball. After a number of fumbles both teams resorted to punting the ball away in hopes that the other team would try to run a play and lose the ball.

An epic defensive struggle like so many on here claim to love.
Who needs all those sissy points and stuff?
Probably the GOTC.

I would watch any of those games over 2008 Tennessee vs Auburn.
The worst offensive shite-show you could imagine.
Total Offense
UT - 191
AU - 226

I was there and was happy we kept it to a 1-point loss. The previous three games vs Auburn in Starkville were 28-, 29-, and 34-point losses by State.
