I really don't even understand how this is possible. Like, I am pretty sure I could get tackled for a mere two yard loss every time.

Only 2 sacks, which makes this even more amazing

It looks like special teams. I see three punts that ended up as safeties
-4th and 7 at COF18 - TEAM rush for loss of 18 yards to the COF00, TEAM safety
-4th and 16 at COF19 - TEAM rush for loss of 19 yards to the COF00, TEAM safety, PENALTY COF illegal kicking DECLINED
-4th and 11 at COF35 - TEAM rush for loss of 35 yards to the COF00, TEAM safety, PENALTY COF illegal kicking DECLINED

Apparently they are an online college that is trying to start up a football team. They didn't have a long snapper and found someone (from where, who knows...) to fill in. And the long snapper kept snapping the ball well over the punter's head. And that's how you wind up with -100 yards.

You'd think the punter would have moved further back.

FIRE BORGES!

Looks like The College of Faith hired Borges.
September 5th, 2014 at 7:34 AM ^
That's why the College of Faith need to fire him.

So, let's assume they lost a decent chunk of yards there, but not enough to explain away -124. By the numbers of plays run (a very low 49) I'm guessing this is a very run heavy offense, such as a wishbone. My guess is that they had to have had a few fumbles on option type things to do this.
September 5th, 2014 at 9:28 AM ^
With just 2 sacks, I was thinking a -30 on a bad punt snap or 2, or 3, or 4.

Hey, I think they must have hired Borges.
Does everyone like my original joke? Haha. I'm so funny, guys. Please upvote my funny joke.

As you wish

But...
...Demar Dorsey.

*insert requisite Borges joke here*
The winner only had 263 total yards of offense. The teams combined for 163 total yards of offense... and 71 points. You'll never see that again.

That's incredible. Reminds me of video game type stats. What a performance by Tusculum and what a painful memory for College of Faith for the next, well, forever.

I guess "Little Sisters of the Poor" was already taken.

Worst part of an OBGYN visit, according to my wife.

I looked at the box score and Faith was able to win the Time of Possession
September 5th, 2014 at 2:17 PM ^
So they won, right?
September 5th, 2014 at 10:50 AM ^
It looks like the QBs rushed 6 times for -20 yards and TEAM is listed as rushing 5 times for -126 yards. Maybe the long snapper had a really bad day.
September 5th, 2014 at 10:15 AM ^
Huh. Sounds a lot like one of my high school games :(

Interesting dicussion on Reddit about College of Faith and another, similar school, University of Faith (creative right?). Sounds to me like someone decided the make the weakest semblance of a college/university, then have weak programs pay for a win and likely pocket the money.

Came here to post this. One of the greatest threads I've seen on /r/cfb. Definitely worth the read and wouldn't be surprised if some bigger news outlet picks it up without crediting the OP.
