It hasn\u2019t happened in almost twenty years: <\/strong>LSU\u2019s Leonard Fournette rushed for 158 yards in the Tigers\u2019 45-24 win over South Carolina, and he wasn\u2019t even their leading rusher on the day.\u00a0 Derrius Guice ended up with 161 rushing yards.\u00a0 It was only the second time in LSU history two rushers gained more than 150 yards on the ground.\u00a0 The other time happened was in 1996, when Kevin Faulk and Rondell Mealey did it against Houston. Fournette is now the fastest LSU Tiger to ever reach the 1,000-yard mark in a season; his season total stands at 1,022.\u00a0 That\u2019s more than Washington State and Central Florida have as teams combined, with 305 yards to spare!<\/p>\n

It hasn\u2019t happened in thirty-five years:<\/strong> Michigan registered their third straight shutout in a dominating 38-0 win over Northwestern.\u00a0 The Wolverines last pulled that off in 1980, when they beat Indiana (35-0), Wisconsin (24-0), and Purdue (26-0). The last FBS team to shut out three straight opponents was Kansas State in 1995, when they beat Akron (67-0), Northern Illinois (44-0), and Missouri (30-0).\u00a0 Michigan also became the fifth team since 1936 to record two shutouts in wins by 28 points or more over ranked teams, a list that includes their own 1948 team.<\/p>\n

It hasn\u2019t happened since 1937: <\/strong>Baylor has 321 points after five games after their latest point-a-minute performance in a 66-7 win over Kansas.\u00a0 Since major college football was classified in 1937, no such team has ever scored more than that after their first five games.\u00a0 The major college record for scoring in a season was set by Florida State in 2013, with 723 points.\u00a0 If Baylor went to the national championship game and kept scoring at their current average, they\u2019d end up one point shy of 900. However, the best FBS defense they have played thus far belongs to Rice, who ranks 114th<\/sup> out of 127 teams, so it remains to be seen if they can keep up that level of production.<\/p>\n

It hasn\u2019t happened, well\u2026ever! <\/strong>Portland State, an FCS program, beat North Texas in their last game 66-7.\u00a0 North Texas is an FBS program.\u00a0 No FCS team has ever had a bigger win over an FBS team; the previous biggest win was McNeese State\u2019s 53-21 victory over South Florida in 2013.\u00a0 As you might recall from week 1, this isn\u2019t Portland State\u2019s first time beating a top-tier team; the Vikings also own a win over Washington State this year.<\/p>\n

In small-school news, a big Division II rivalry game happens this weekend.\u00a0 Northwest Missouri State faces Pittsburg State (Kansas) in a big matchup that pits teams that have eleven combined national championship appearances in the last 25 years.\u00a0 The series is tied 24-24, and holds the record for the biggest crowd at a Division II football game.\u00a0 It was set at the 2002 game, which was played at Arrowhead Stadium, home of the NFL\u2019s Kansas City Chiefs.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to rocky tide<\/strong>, who takes week 6 with 194 points!\u00a0 Tied for second place were JagRag<\/strong> and AllySun<\/strong>, with 191, and one point behind at 190 was JagAL<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
