From Associated Press

Central State became the first college football team since 1980 to break the 100-point mark with a 101-0 victory over Lane, which conceded the game with 11 minutes 26 seconds to play on Saturday.

Central State (7-2) also scored 101 points in a game in 1947. The Marauders were six points short of the National Assn. of Intercollegiate Athletics single-game scoring record, set by Fort Valley, Ga., in 1969.

Houston, which routed Tulsa, 100-6, in 1968, was the last major-college team to score 100 points. Portland State, a National Collegiate Athletic Assn. Division-II team, scored 105 against Delaware State in 1980.
