Factoid 317 - And the College Football Player (FBS) with the most punts in a game is…

Date: 11/26/14

Charlie Calhoun holds the record for the most punts in a game. Charlie played for the Texas Tech Red Raiders. He set the record vs. Centenary (LA) on November 11, 1939. The teams played to a 0-0 tie, and Calhoun set the record with 36 punts.


The Texas Tech 1939 team.


A torrential downpour and muddy field conditions prevented regular strategies from being used. Instead, both teams would punt, hoping the other team would fumble the punt, thereby ensuring good field position. This strategy did not work, as neither team managed to score.
