The 1980 Delaware State vs. Portland State football game was played on November 8, 1980, during the 1980 NCAA Division I-AA football season at Civic Stadium in Portland, Oregon . By winning 105–0, the Vikings set the single-game record for most points scored by a team at the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS)—then known as NCAA Division I-AA—level, which still stands today.[ 1] [ 2] [ 3] [ 4] [ 5]
Delaware State fumbled the ball 16 times, setting the NCAA Division I-AA record.[ 6] [ 7] The Vikings recovered 6 of them, which helped them score 105 points. The Vikings were up 49–0 at the end of the first quarter, which is the FCS record for the most points scored by a team in the first quarter.[ 8] Their scoring slowed in the second quarter, but still led 63–0 at halftime. They tacked on 35 more points in the third quarter and seven in the fourth to break the century mark. After the game, Mouse Davis said "Obviously they (Delaware State) weren't prepared. I still say they have a lot of talented football players, and I was betting the talent would make it closer. But I'll tell you this. We're going to go out there and play. I don't teach kids to lay down."[ 9] [ 10] Fred Nordgren became the first Portland State football player to record four sacks in a game, compiling 11 total tackles, six tackles for loss, and three fumble recoveries.[ 11]
