What's the coldest college football game of all time? Here's an answer.

0

We know of some seriously cold NFL games over the years, but how about college football?

Because with the new college football playoff system, games are being hosted by higher-ranked teams in their own campuses, which could make for some freezing-cold games in certain places.

So that brings us to the question: What’s the coldest college football game of all time?

By most accounts, the answer comes from a game played in November of 1950 between Ohio State and Michigan in Columbus, known as the Snow Bowl or the Blizzard Bowl. It was around 12 or 13 degrees with a wind chill of -4.

Ouch!

Some details from Weather.gov:

Both schools found it very difficult to move the ball, and a punt-fest ensued, with Michigan winning the game 9-3 without ever earning a first down. Michigan never completed a pass. They punted 24 times, almost more than their total offensive ouput for the game…27 yards. Ohio State punted 21 times, getting four of them blocked by the Wolverines. All of the scoring came as a result of those blocked kicks, with Ohio State blocking a punt that led to a field goal, and two of Michigan’s blocked kicks leading to a safety and a touchdown.

There you have it!
