Ohio State and Louisville were expected to have easy games, but this was ridiculous.
The fourth-ranked Buckeyes and seventh-ranked Cardinals crushed two outmanned Florida schools by the combined score of 148-0.
Ohio State defeated Florida A&M, 76-0; Louisville took care of Florida International, 72-0.
There were plenty of other routs Saturday, but Ohio State and Louisville, in early games, set a tone.
The Buckeyes led 48-0 before FAMU picked up a first down. Ohio State quarterback Kenny Guiton, subbing for the injured Braxton Miller, set a school record with six touchdown passes — in the first half.
The late Ohio State coach Woody Hayes famously detested the innovation of the forward pass in football. Hayes said three things can happen when you pass the ball, and two of them — incomplete, interception — were bad.
Have times ever changed.
Ohio State and Louisville seemed in a race to see which school could put a bigger hurt on a helpless opponent. The Buckeyes (4-0) and Cardinals (4-0), as a pile-it-on couple, out-gained their opponents 1,067 yards to 110 and had 54 first downs to 4.
Ohio State earned its most lopsided win since 1935; Louisville handed Florida International its worst loss.
But winning coaches Urban Meyer and Charlie Strong fell far short of participating in the most deplorable pour-it-on outcomes in college football history.
That distinction will always belong to Georgia Tech, which on Oct. 7, 1916, defeated Cumberland College, 222-0.
Georgia Tech was coached by John Heisman, who would later have a prestigious trophy named in his honor.
The book "Heisman: The Man Behind the Trophy" recounts some fascinating facts about that game. The Yellow Jackets never attempted a pass and scored 32 touchdowns with 32 extra points. Cumberland College had 15 turnovers, lost 10 fumbles and had minus-28 yards of offense.
Near the end of the game Heisman found a Cumberland player trying to go unnoticed on the Georgia Tech sideline.
Heisman reportedly told the kid, "You're on the wrong bench."
To which the player replied, "No sir, Mr. Heisman, this is the right bench. If I go over there they'll put me back in the game."
Some Georgia Tech players were not proud of what happened against Cumberland that day.
Noye Nesbit, one of Heisman's players, wrote "Tech's Disgrace" in his scrapbook above a photo of the game.
Punch, pass and kick
