Austin Peay and 10 Other Monumental Blowouts in College Football History

Todd KaufmannSep 25, 2010

I hope Austin Peay enjoyed the payday they got by traveling to Wisconsin because I can't imagine they enjoyed the game.

The Badgers ripped off a 70-3 win in front of their home fans, which I did predict that their fans would be enjoying a lot of points.

Who else has been on the other end of these blowouts? What are the top 10 biggest blowouts in college football history?

No. 10: Florida State 77, North Carolina State 17 (Sept. 16, 1995)

When you fumble the ball six times like NC State did that day, it serves you right to get scored on like that.

No. 9: Oklahoma 68, UTEP 0 (Sept. 14, 2002)

2 of 10

I feel bad for UTEP in this game. Just a week before this 68-0 beatdown at the hands of the Sooners, the Miners were on the receiving end of a 77-17 throttling at the hands of Kentucky.

No. 8: Kansas State 68, Louisiana-Monroe 0 (Sept. 7, 2002)

3 of 10

I think they could have stopped this game after the first half, given that the score was 48-0 at the half. Not sure Louisiana-Monroe enjoyed it though.

Gator quarterback Doug Johnson threw seven of the nine touchdown passes by the Florida offense, setting an SEC record in this blowout.

Hey, at least Central Michigan scored six points, right?

No. 6: South Florida 80, Kentucky Wesleyan 3 (Sept. 6, 1997)

5 of 10

South Florida was playing a school called Kentucky Wesleyan, but who thought the Bulls would throw up 80 points on them?

Apparently a 35-3 lead at the half wasn't quite good enough.

No. 5: Oregon 72, New Mexico 0 (Sept. 4, 2010)

6 of 10
EUGENE, OR - SEPTEMBER 04:  Wide receiver Drew Davis #10 of the Oregon Ducks eludes the tackle of linebacker Joe Stoner #39 of the New Mexico Lobos and heads up the field with a pass reception in the first quarter of the game at Autzen Stadium on Septembe

New Mexico never had a chance in this one. Oregon put the pedal on the floor and never let up.

No. 4: Arkansas-Monticello 80, Oklahoma Panhandle State 0 (Sept. 17, 2000)

7 of 10

Ok, I know these aren't two schools you're going to look at and say, "Oh yeah," but that's the point.

They still rank on the list of the biggest routs in college football history.

If you want to add insult to injury, the Boll Weevils—yes, the Boll Weevils—kicked a 59-yard field goal.

Talk about running up the score.

No. 3: Wisconsin 73, Austin Peay 0 (Sept. 25, 2010)

Up 49-3 at the half, it just wasn't good enough for Wisconsin against lowly Austin Peay.

The Badgers rushed for two more touchdowns in the third quarter before adding another one in the fourth for the final tally.

No. 2: Delaware 84, West Chester 0 (Sept. 23, 2000)

9 of 10

This blowout had icing on it.

With Delaware already up 77-0, the West Chester quarterback threw an interception that was returned 97 yards for the final score. Ouch.

No. 1: Rockford 105, Trinity Bible 0 (Sept. 6, 2003)

10 of 10

When you lead a game 98-0 before the third quarter is done, the last thing you'd want to do is add on to the score.

Apparently Rockford didn't get that memo back in 2003.
