Has a team ever won with field goals, while the other scores at least one touchdown?

I only asked this after doing some research (Wikipedia and Google), hoping that I'd actually get an answer. I'm not a football buff (I've only been a huge football fan since 2005, before 2005 I actually didn't even know some basic football terminology and rules), so the question may have seemed stupid to all of you, who probably learned all about football and its history growing up, but to me it was a legitimate question. You're talking to a guy who before a couple years ago didn't even know what a two-point conversion was.

You couldn't sit down, think about the easy possibility of a team kicking 3 FGs and the other team only scoring 1 TD? That doesn't seem like a normal occurrence to you?

It's like asking if anybody has ever walked down the street and seen 2 cars that were the same color. I don't know much about the history of painting cars, but I can assume the answer is "probably several times a year".

You're the first. I heard he's going to go on the TV show "Biggest Loser" but I can't for the life of me figure out if he's trying to win the show by his team's record this year or if he's ACTUALLY going to try and lose a few pounds......:lift:

If I wouldn't have thought about the possibility, I wouldn't have asked this "stupid" question in the first place. Logically, if I hadn't thought of the possibility of it existing in college football, I wouldn't have thought to ask. And the reason I asked is because I've NEVER actually seen it happen in college football.

Do you actually read these responses, or just notice that I replied and think "Yes! Another opportunity to flame the stupid Penn State fan!"? The question asks IF it happened. If I thought it had never happened, I wouldn't have asked the question in the first place.

If you knew it happened in pro football, why would you think it never happened in CFB? I don't follow this reasoning, low & high scoring is found in both leagues.

It's really not that abstract. Horrendous weather, defensive struggle (you know, the kind PSU-OSU has regularly), horrendous offense (FSU-Miami lately), etc.

Back during your younger years, in 2002, OSU beat Penn State without scoring an offensive TD... thanks to Gamble's pick six. It's not really a big leap to imagine 2 extra FGs instead.

Oh believe me, I read your responses. At least you're giving me a good laugh.

IF I run my truck in to a telephone pole, will it cause any damage?
