What BS teams have your favorite CS team beat in it's history?

[ncguitarplyr]

only counts if it was after the dividing of the two subdivisions


App has 6 wins against BS opponents

all 6 were against Wake Forest (aka why they won't schedule us anymore)



but we also have some quality close calls:
22-15 loss at Auburn on Sept. 4, 1999
23-12 loss at Clemson on Sept. 6, 1997
20- 13 loss at South Carolina on Sept. 7, 1985

(these were even closer than the scores indicate)

[PantherRob82]

We have wins over Iowa St, Kansas St, Ball St and some other MAC teams.

[arranger101]

SCSU over Clemson...late '70's!

[CSUBUCDAD]

Haven't played any yet. Course the program still young as programs go.

They were ACC champs this year. Somehow doubt they would have trouble with you now ;)

[MplsBison]

Minnesota this year.

Don't think any BS teams have beat NDSU since 73 (was that the year?).

[MplsBison]

Whoops, forgot about Troy (State).

[GreenDay17]

Hawaii (2000) and New Mexico (2006) since moving to IAA/FCS in 1996.:thumbsup:

[MplsBison]

Ok I misread the question, I thought it was what BS teams have beat your CS team, not the other way around.

So disregard my first 2 posts.

Ball State is the only BS team NDSU has beat since 73, I believe. Unless we did beat Troy some other time.

[mcveyrl]

Virginia ('82), Navy ('89), Navy ('90)

[gophoenix]

Depends on the time frame.

Duke in the 70s. Miami in the 50s.

[SoCon48]

Depends on the time frame.

Duke in the 70s. Miami in the 50s.

Can't find any record of Elon playing Duke since the 1920's.

[DrG]

BC in the first year of DIAA (1978) and Ball State in 1984.

[ncguitarplyr]

yeah wake forest would have definitly beaten us this year...but they've always had trouble with us

[Appaholic]

They were ACC champs this year. Somehow doubt they would have trouble with you now ;)

Don't be too sure.....have you seen the quality (or lack thereof) of ACC football this year?

This is not meant as Smack against Wake, but more a reflection of the sorry state of ACC football. I have no doubt that we would beat NC State if we played them at end of year and also no doubt that Furman would win in a best of 10 series with North Carolina (lost 45-42 @ UNC; 500+ yards of offense). I'll also mention that Richmond defeated Duke at Duke.

Perhaps I should amend that to say the sorry state of NC BS teams. I wish we could have played Wake this year as, for the first time ever, it would have determined the best NC college football team...... :twocents:

[Cobblestone]

We beat UCONN the first year they were I-A.

[sdgriz24]

We have beat Oregon State and Idaho.

[UNH_Alum_In_CT]

Rutgers in 2004
Northwestern in 2006

[HiHiYikas]

What's the story with ASU and ECU? Is ECU non-BS? Has ASU not beaten them in the porper timeframe?

[89Hen]

Temple (1980, 81, 84, 85)
Navy (1985, 86, 89, 91, 92, 2003)
Villanova (1980)
William & Mary (1980, 82, 83)
Penn (1981)
Princeton (1981)

[SoCon48]

Don't think so, Hi. I believe the last time App beat EZU, we were both still in the SoCon.

[89Hen]

Wow, you guys were real good.
Won the DII National Championship in 1979, moved to I-AA in 1980, made the playoffs in 1981 (only an 8 team field) and made it to the finals in 1982. Went downhill from there. :p

[ucdtim17]

We beat Pacific a few times. We haven't played Nevada since they moved to I-A I don't think.

Plus Stanford of course

[JMU_MRD'03-'07]

Virginia ('82), Navy ('89), Navy ('90)

That win against Virginia was huge!! It really put our team on the map since it happened just 10 years after we fielded our first team.

[FCS_pwns_FBS]

FIU was "IA" in 2004, and we beat them. We nearly beat Oregon State in '99 (put up 41 points on a 7-5 Oregon State team, the scond most scored on them by a pretty good ways).

Other than that, the only BS teams we have played are Auburn, Florida, Georgia, and Florida State.

[Henny]

The Hens beat Rutgers so many times in the 60s and 70s they had to stop playing us.

Temple did the same in the 80s

We now have a 500 record against Navy since the mid 80s and beat them in 03' when they went to a bowl game.

Delaware dosent get too many offers to play I-A schools but give Maryland credit. They scheduled the Hens in 08'.

We played Miami as well. I thought we have played a couple other I-A's along the way (not talking about ones that were I-AA then either).

Man, I remember those Colgate teams of the late 60's and throughout the 70's. You were fearless with your scheduling and were very, very talented -- great players like Marv Hubbard, Mark Murphy, Mark van Eeghan, Doug Curtis, Rich Erenberg (although I think he was an '80's era RB), ....

Discouraging to witness the damaging impact of spiraling tuition costs on a program that has to make due without the offsetting benefits of athetic scholarships. Families of great players who once would take on the cost of tuition to attend a Patriot or Ivy school are now usually choosing the big time or one of the many scholarhip FCS conferences. I think the decline has been most precipitous in the Ivies, beginning in the late 1970's. In fact, I remember Dartmouth being ranked in the Top 10 or Top 15 in the country back in 1970 or 1971, .... Long way from that now for all of the Ancient 8, ......

[89Hen]

C'mon guys. I-A teams you have BEATEN while you were a I-AA. That means post-1978 or whatever year you became a I-AA. :)

Boston? Boston what? Boston College? Boston University? Boston College isn't even in Boston, it's in Chestnut Hill, Mass, so you might want to refer to it as BC. That's the widely accepted abreviation for Boston College. Boston doesn't make me think of any college.

[LarryBoy]

Since being reclassified:

NC State
Georgia Tech
South Carolina
North Carolina

Close calls:
Clemson in '03 (28-17...had we had an offense in '03, we could have destroyed them...they finished in the top 15)
Pittsburgh in '04 (lost in overtime after blowing 17-point lead...they won the Big East)
North Carolina this year

Feel free to add any I left out.

[Tribe4SF]

Mary & Bill was I-A??? I did not know that. :rotateh:

W&M went to I-AA in 1980, so he was off on those.

[Lionsrking]

Southeastern Louisiana has wins over...

Auburn
Southern Miss
Louisiana Tech
UL-Lafayette

[Walkon79]

Fresno State many times in the 70's and again in 1984. Colorado this year. Almost got Oklahoma State last year.

Got crushed by Florida in 1999, 59-0

Texas A&M in 2007!!

[Walkon79]

Just kidding!

[catdaddy2402]

SCSU over Clemson...late '70's!

Clemson has never played SCSU.

[melloAggiesousa]

We beat Pacific a few times. We haven't played Nevada since they moved to I-A I don't think.

Plus Stanford of course

We were D-II when we beat Pacific circa 1986ish?; they went on to beat Minnesota the next week. Subsequently, Pacific dropped football, and have concentrated on basketball.

[Eyes of Old Main]

Wofford has had some close calls (this year against South Carolina, UL-Lafayette in OT in 1999, Marshall in 1998), but here are the wins the Terriers have pulled off all-time against current I-A teams (even though some weren't I-A when these games took place).

UL-Monroe (2000)
Central Florida (1986)
East Carolina (1959)
Auburn (1950)
Clemson (1925, 1926 & 1933)
South Carolina (1895, 1896, 1901 & 1917)

Also, an honorable mention has to go out for beating Furman in the first college football game played in South Carolina in 1889.

[ngineer]

Since 1978 Lehigh has:

Tied Army 24-24 (1980)
Beat Army 13-12 (1983)
Beat Navy 24-9 (1987)
Beat UConn 35-19 (1991)
Beat Buffalo 48-19 (1994)
Beat Buffalo 37-26 (2002)

Not sure when UConn became I-A, during the 1980's we beat them four years straight, 1981-84.

Sorry Nap, didn't mean to get your panties in a wad! I believe it was BC...down here in ACC country that's the only Boston anyone cares about. I could be wrong on that though, I'll look into it further....in fairness, I do believe it was before '78 anyway.

[oldsouthernman]

I do not think Elon played or beat Duke in the 70'S and the same goes for SC State playing Clemson. GaSou did play ECU in 85 and 86. I think they played Miami in the mid 90's as well. No CS school has a better giant killer history than Furman. Since 79, they have tied or beaten USC,NCSU(twice), UNC, Vandy, GaTech. The Citadel beat USC and Arkansas in addition to Army , Navy and Air Force. I think App beat USC in 76. Chattanooga has defeated UT, LaTech, Bowling Green, Louisville, Memphis, Ole Miss, Southern Miss, UL-Lafeyette, Vandy, Va Tech in our history.

[LeopardFan04]

We beat West Virginia 3 times in the same season...but that was about 110 years ago...:p

[LeopardFan04]

We beat Buffalo a few times in the early 90s...but they were still I-AA then (and I think D3 for at least one of the years...) and also a win over UConn in the 80s...Since '78 the only I-As we've played were Army/Navy and they were all losses...a couple close ones though...that said, "back in the day" Lafayette beat these current I-A/FBS schools: Boston College, Connecticut, Army, Navy, North Carolina, Penn St., Pitt, Rutgers (used to be a big rival), Syracuse, Temple, Virginia, and West Virginia...However, most or all of those games were many many years ago...

[Go Apps]

I would love nothing more than to play Wake a the end of both of our games in Charlotte - for the Title of Best in NC

App is never afraid of the Dec's - Bring It On

If Elon played Duke, nobody knows about it. Can't find it anywhere on any schedule.
App beat Wake, ECU, and USC in '75.

[Tribe4SF]

Six for the Tribe.

Rutgers
East Carolina
UVA
Navy twice
Temple

[andy7171]

Towson beat Buffalo and UConn back in 1993. However Buffalo was in their first year as I-AA and flat out SUCKED. UConn was a Yankee League team in I-AA back then too. I'm pretty sure they moved up to I-A in 95 or 96.

[Pard4Life]

We beat Buffalo a few times in the early 90s...but they were still I-AA then (and I think D3 for at least one of the years...) and also a win over UConn in the 80s...Since '78 the only I-As we've played were Army/Navy and they were all losses...a couple close ones though...that said, "back in the day" Lafayette beat these current I-A/FBS schools: Boston College, Connecticut, Army, Navy, North Carolina, Penn St., Pitt, Rutgers (used to be a big rival), Syracuse, Temple, Virginia, and West Virginia...However, most or all of those games were many many years ago...

Don't believe we ever played Boston College, Pard.

[LeopardFan04]

Don't believe we ever played Boston College, Pard.


College Football Data Warehouse says we played and beat them once in 1922:

[bostonspider]

Well UR went to I-AA Status in 1983, since then they have beaten:

Virginia Tech (1985)
Arkansas State (2000)
Duke (2006)

Close losses include UVA 2001 (16-17) and Vandy the same year (22-28)

Prior to reclassifying in 1983, UR had beaten many many teams which are now in the BS, including just about all the current ACC members and many of the Big East.
