Some notable performances and accomplishments in college football this weekend, by the numbers.
3: Consecutive seasons of double-digit wins for Northern Illinois (10-1) after its 31-24 victory against Toledo clinched the MAC West title. Before that string, the Huskies had three seasons of double-digit wins in their first 108 years of football.
3: Field goals of 50-plus yards by Rice's Chris Boswell in a 36-14 win against SMU, tying an FBS game record. Boswell had five field goals in all. He has five 50-plus kicks this season and 10 in his career.
7: Schools in FBS that have never had a season of double-digit wins. Kent State (10-1) left that group Saturday with its 31-24 win at Bowling Green that clinched a spot in the MAC title game. Still looking for that season of 10-plus wins are Indiana, Iowa State, Louisiana-Lafayette, South Florida (which has had football only since 1997), Utah State (the Aggies could do it this week), Vanderbilt and Western Michigan.
9: Wins this season for Rutgers coach Kyle Flood, a school record for a first-year coach, after a 10-3 win at Cincinnati. Flood is the 26th man to coach the Scarlet Knights.
32: Consecutive points by Division III Wittenberg (Ohio) as it rallied from a 31-13 halftime deficit to beat Heidelberg (Ohio) 52-38 in a first-round playoff game. Heidelberg was driving in Wittenberg territory with a minute to go, aiming for the tying touchdown, when Heath Eby returned an interception 60 yards for a touchdown to clinch it.
39.4: Harvard's scoring average this season, an Ivy League record, after wrapping up an 8-2 season with a 34-24 win against Yale. The Crimson, who have beaten their archrival a record six times in a row, averaged 37.4 points last season to miss the league record by 0.2 points.
41: Touchdowns Clemson QB Tajh Boyd has accounted for rushing and passing this season, breaking his own school and ACC record. He had eight (five passing, three rushing) in a 62-48 win against North Carolina State while racking up a school-record 531 yards of offense. The Tigers reached 10 wins in the regular season for the first time since 1981, the year they won the national title.
44: Career rushing TDs for Army QB Trent Steelman, a school record. Legendary RB Glenn Davis had the old mark of 43, set in 1946. Steelman, who has a game left in his college career, ran for three TDs and 139 yards in a 63-32 loss to Temple.
82: Years since Drake collected consecutive league titles. The Bulldogs did it this year, winning 32-29 at Jacksonville to wrap up at least a share of the Pioneer League crown. Drake won four consecutive Missouri Valley titles from 1928 to 1931.
90: Punts this season by Wake Forest's Alexander Kinal, tying the ACC record set by Maryland's Dan DeArmas in 1991. Kinal punted 10 times Saturday in a a 38-0 loss at Notre Dame.
124: Catches this season by Eastern Illinois' Erik Lora, an FCS record. He had nine grabs for 52 yards and a TD in a 48-30 loss to Central Arkansas. The previous mark of 123 was set by Elon's Terrell Hudgins in 2009.
448: Career points by Florida State PK Dustin Hopkins, an FBS record for kickers. He topped the old mark of 439 by Boise State's Kyle Brotzman with a second-quarter field goal in a 41-14 win at Maryland that clinched a spot in the ACC title game.
572: All-purpose yards by West Virginia's Tavon Austin, 6 shy of the FBS record, in a 50-49 loss to Oklahoma. He had a school-record 344 yards rushing, 146 on kickoff returns and 82 receiving. OU's Landry Jones countered with a school-record 554 yards and six TDs passing, including a 5-yarder to Kenny Stills with 24 seconds left.
