Remember The Flyers

Remember the Flyers

I noticed in the 5 Minute Guide to the Season (Aug. 16) that you listed the Texas Longhorns as having scored in 278 consecutive games, the nation's longest streak. As impressive as that is, the Dayton Flyers, a IAA nonscholarship program for the past 12 years, after playing in Division III, have not been shut out in 311 games, the longest active streak in college football. (BYU held the record until being shut out last season.) The Flyers were last blanked in 1976, against Marshall, and have averaged 32.8 points a game during the streak. It's time to give the Flyers their due.
