-4 yards rushing, is that a record?

[OttoinGrotto]

Nutso total, pretty awesome.

Have we ever held a team, to, uh, more... negative yardage?

I don't even know how to express this.

 

[orangenauburn]

Idk but MSU held Tulsa to -73 rush yards on 25 attempts

Happened a few times back in 59

Very interested to see how our defense looks against Maryland who obliterated a terrible Howard team.

We didn’t do anything exotic and we had size, speed and talent flashing all over the field on defense.

If they look dominant again, I’ll be ready to make some extravagant proclamations.

 

[LeMoyneCuse]

We held UConn to -6 in 2012.

I was surprised it wasn't more. I don't recall them having many positive running plays. But I remember an awful lot of negative ones.

 

[rocklloyd]

In the presser, I think Dino challenged Nate mink to do some research as he is a numbers guy

 

[upperdeck]

not even close to the team record. BU had -88 in in 1959 for one..

 

[cuse10]

I was impressed off of the fact that they might have sent a couple of blitzes at Liberty all game. It was man to man the entire way and the front seven wreaked havoc. We'll see what happens when they unleash the hounds next Saturday.

 

[Trueblue25]

Trill and Cisco, size wise, could match up against anyone in the nation.

If we get beaten, it’ll be because the other team seized control of the run game.

Liberty should feel good! Didn't even crack our top ten!

 

[sufandu]

Maybe I'm remembering it wrong, but didn't we hold Florida to something like -17 in '91?

Didn't even see this before I responded. I may not remember what the wife asked me to get from the store, but I can remember SU stats from when I was a teenager.

I always thought this was a weird stat because they count sacks as a rushing attempt and they add the -50 yards from sacks to the rushing totals.

 

[CuseGrad94]

That '59 team D rushing stats blow my mind every time I see them in print. I know it was a different game but still amazing

 

[cuse309]

I gotta say it...love the uniforms. The pants are straight up 80's 90's era, and the rest incorporates a little old, a little new.

Theses uniforms are going to look even sharper when the other team wears a more contrasting color. The red from liberty drowned out the awesomeness a bit

Unfortunately, we also had the fewest rushing yards and fewest net yards in NCAA history, (they began keeping records in 1938).

I've never seen a game where both teams wore white jerseys before.

That 1959 team was absolutely nuts! They held three teams - in a 9 game season - to negative rushing yards! In one-third of their games, you were going to lose yardage on the ground against us! In an era when teams seldom passed! That is just so unbelievable. LOL
