I believe the Running Back you are thinking of is Hodges Mitchell.

What school has the longest winning steak in College Football History?

[ThEgReAtOnE]

What school has the longest winning steak in College Football History?

My OU Sooners......47 Game Win Streak! And actually the season OU lost, that ended up being the only loss of the season! So they went something like 53-1.(?)

Of course, this is the D1 record!

[farmerfan]

i assume you know the overall record though, right? (all divisions)

[ThEgReAtOnE]

You must be refering to MT Union's 55 game win streak! Pretty good, but unfortunately it's on the DIII level. Sorry, that's almost as good as Junior College Football!

It's like a 1A or 6-man team having a 100 game win streak! Who cares?

To do it on a 5A level, in Texas, would be out-of-this-world!

it was 55 and to do that on any level is impressive. Mt Union played some tough teams to get to that streak, rather it be Rowan, ST Johns, Pac Luthern, they played some tough football teams. No D3 is not D1, but they have some athletes that are just a tad to short or a tad to slow.

[TheProphet]

yeah i mean a big streak liek that is just a testament to coaching and preparedness. they draw form the same talent pool as their peers.

[Lufkin_Class_Of_08]

the heisman trophy is named for john w heisman...What school in texas was he a coach at? (before he went to new york and joined the committee that started the trophy) the answer may surprise you

[Firebird]

"Orangemen" is offensive not because it refers to generic "men", but rather historical figures. Orangemen were Protestant supporters and soldiers of William of Orange in the English revolution of 1688, which unseated the strongly Catholic James the II and his Irish and French soldiers and supporters. William, was a Dutchman who married Mary Stuart of England and shared the English throne after unseating James II. (Hence the school "William and Mary"). In 20th century Northern Ireland, the most famous paramilitary /terroristic Protestant group that fought against the Catholic IRA (Irish Republican Army) also adopted the name "Orangemen", in reference to the rabidly anti-Catholic William of Orange and his supporters. Syracuse University thought it was time to rethink a mascot that had strong anti- Catholic connotations.

And yes, I just laid the smack down in this trivia game.
