Greatest College Bowl Game Performance Ever
College bowl games are stupid, they are nothing but glorified exhibition games and generally only one team shows up to play making them un-watchable, but that is a discussion for another day. Having said that, do you know what the most impressive college bowl record ever recorded was? It was Miami's margin of victory against Texas in the 1991 Cotton Bowl despite their penalty yardage. You see, Miami won the game 46-3 yet had 16 penalty flags for a total of 202 penalty yards. Yes, you read that correctly, Miami gave Texas over two full football fields worth of free yards and still held the Longhorns to only 3 points. Is that even possible? Apparently it is. By halftime, Miami had already racked up 132 penalty yards and were still up 19-3. This was obviously during the height of Miami's "thug" days and that obviously translated to the field in this game. Oh, and the funniest stat of the whole game was that Texas had 205 total offensive yards. In other words, Miami had 3 less penalty yards than Texas had total yards.
