October 28 features several memorable milestones and record-breaking performances in college football history:
• 1905 — Notre Dame defeated the American College of Medicine and Surgery 142-0, scoring 27 touchdowns in 33 minutes of play (with a shortened second half). Fielding Yost's Michigan defeated the Medics 72–0 in 1904,these two deserve each other
• 1950 — The 99-Yard Punt: Pat Brady of Nevada-Reno booted an NCAA-record 99-yard punt against Loyola Marymarks (Loyola Marymount) from inches outside his own goal line. Because a 100-yard punt is impossible in the record books, the record can be tied, but never broken.
• 1978 — Joe Delaney's Half: Joe Delaney of Northwestern State rushed for 263 yards in the second half alone (finishing with 299 yards and 4 touchdowns) in a 28-18 win over Nicholls State, setting an NCAA record for rushing yards in a half.
• 1995 — Holy War Victory: Notre Dame defeated Boston College 20-10 in the seventh annual College Football Holy War.
• 2000 — Purdue Last-Second Thriller: Purdue quarterback Drew Brees connected with Seth Morales for a dramatic game-winning touchdown to beat Ohio State 31-27.
• 2008 — Crabtree's Catch: (Played Oct 28 / early Nov window) No. 5 Texas Tech beat No. 1 Texas 39-33 on Graham Harrell's 28-pressing touchdown pass to Michael Crabtree with just one second remaining
