On Thursday night, FCS Davidson beat Division III Guilford, 91-61.
The game appeared to set both of these records:
- Most yards of offense in an FCS game by one team (964 for Davidson; record is 876 )
- Most rushing yards by one team in an FCS game (685 for Davidson; record is 681)
And there were even more records that didn’t officially count, since Guilford is DIII:
- Most points in an FCS game by both teams (152 in this game; FCS and DI record is 141)
- Most yards of offense in an FCS game by both teams (1,662; FCS record is 1,549)
- Most rushing yards in an FCS game by both teams (1,005; FCS record is 850)
And it’ll be hard to top this for WACKIEST play of the day:
