Damn, that one is going to be pretty damn tough to top, let me dig around the record books and see if I can find some crazy stat.

[Deuce]

Georgia Tech beat Cumberland (TN) 222-0 on October 7, 1916.

32 touchdowns were scored.

Neither team managed a 1st down.

Georgia Tech scored 222 unanswered points despite never attempting a passing play.

The reason for Georgia running up the score was apparently the following:
Quote:

Tech coach John Heisman was in no mood to accommodate the Bulldogs, perhaps because Tech's baseball team had lost 22–0 to Cumberland the previous year amidst allegations of Cumberland using professionals as ringers. The fact that Cumberland had crushed Georgia Tech earlier that year probably accounted for Heisman's running up the score on the Bulldogs. He insisted on the schools' scheduling agreement, which required Cumberland to pay $3,000 (a lot of money in 1916) to Tech if its football team failed to show.

I was going to bring up the Cumberland game

the whole game actually, they disbanded their football team but were on GT's schedule and Tech forced them to play the game kind of. The score was not run up, but they had no business playing this game
