There are ugly games.

Like Michigan’s 10-9 victory against Northwestern last week . Or even worse, much worse, Auburn’s 3-2 victory over Mississippi State in 2008 .

But neither of those games — or any other game — can match what happened on this day 75 years ago.

Texas Tech 0, Centenary 0.

And no, this wasn’t one of those “if you love defense” kind of games.

The game had 77 punts. You read that correctly — 77 punts. In fact, during one stretch during the third and fourth quarters, the two teams punted on 22 consecutive plays (all first downs). Why? They were hoping for a fumble because the weather and field conditions were so bad. Fumbles were plentiful — there were 14 of them — but only six were lost and, of course, none led to a score.

Accounts of the game refer to the game being played in a driving rain, leaving the field muddy and the ball slippery. Because of that, records for futility were set.

Texas Tech punted 39 times and ran just 12 offensive plays for minus-1 yard.

Thirteen records still stand in the NCAA record books:

— Most punts combined both teams: 77 (42 were returned, 19 went out of bounds, 10 were downed, four were blocked, one went for a touchback and another was fair caught; 67 came on first down)

— Most punts by a team: 39, Texas Tech

— Fewest offensive plays: 12, Texas Tech (10 rushes, two passes for a total of minus-1 yard)

— Fewest plays allowed: 12, Centenary

— Fewest yards gained most plays: 30

— Fewest rushing attempts, both teams: 28

— Most punt returns: 22, Texas Tech (for 112 yards)

— Most punt returns, both teams: 42

— Most individual punts: 36, Charlie Calhoun, Texas Tech, for 1,318 yards (36.6 average)

— Punt yardage: 1,318 yards, Calhoun

— Punt returns (and total kick returns): 20, Milton Hill, Texas Tech, 110 yards

No word on how many attended the game in Shreveport, La. Texas Tech finished the season 5-5-1 and Centenary 2-9-1.
