The Most Unbreakable Records in College Football

10. Most Consecutive Shutouts (Regular Season)

df293a0e594f8dd80c62498cb03514ed_crop_exact.jpg


Date: 1938-40
Record Holder: Tennessee
Record: 17 shutouts

Tennessee’s 17 consecutive regular-season shutouts might be the most impressive record in the bunch. The streak started on Nov. 30, 1938 when it blanked Tennessee-Chattanooga 45-0 and didn’t end until Oct. 19, 1940, when Alabama scored 12 points in a 27-12 loss to the Vols.

The record doesn’t include the postseason games from the same time period: A 17-0 win over Oklahoma in the 1939 Orange Bowl and a 14-0 loss to USC in the 1940 Rose Bowl.

Tennessee outscored its 17 opponents 479-0 during run, a time frame that produced three consecutive SEC titles and the 1938 national championship.

The Vols also hold the NCAA FBS record for the most consecutive quarters opponents held scoreless, 71. That streak lasted from the second quarter of the 14-6 win over LSU on Oct. 29, 1938 until the second quarter of the 27-12 win over Alabama on Oct. 19, 1940.

Damn, I would have guessed that would #2 as unbreakable records just after "Most Scoreless Tie Games In A Season" (since there are no more tie games).

When you consider how prevalent shutouts used to be, I’m surprised the record isn’t a higher number
