Schools with the Most Consecutive Weeks Scoring
Posted by Sean on Tuesday, November 3, 2009
As Chase pointed out earlier "the U"s alumni have an active 113 consecutive week scoring streak in the NFL, which is pretty astounding when you think about it. That is over six and a half seasons without missing a weekend. I had to check and see if this is a record of some sort, so I wrote a little perl script to find the longest streak for every school with a scoring alum.
Luckily we have a list of every TD scored from 1940 on, so unless Army or Notre Dame can claim a longer streak back before World War II, 113 games is the longest such streak ever. Here are the top streaks of 15 games or more.
School Start Year-Wk to Year-Wk Streak Miami Fl 2002-15 to 2009-8 113 games Ohio State 1996-10 to 2001-6 82 games Michigan 1996-14 to 2001-1 73 games USC 1978-2 to 1982-3 66 games LSU 1986-14 to 1989-16 50 games Notre Dame 1994-14 to 1997-2 40 games Tennessee 1994-2 to 1996-3 36 games UCLA 1980-15 to 1983-7 34 games Florida 1999-4 to 2001-3 34 games Oklahoma 1979-13 to 1981-6 26 games Auburn 2004-15 to 2006-6 26 games Jackson State 1975-5 to 1977-1 25 games Arizona State 1971-10 to 1973-6 25 games Georgia 1997-13 to 1999-2 24 games Indiana 1947-9 to 1949-2 22 games Colorado 1976-2 to 1977-7 20 games Penn State 1975-2 to 1976-7 20 games Oklahoma State 1990-11 to 1991-13 20 games Cal 1980-14 to 1982-1 20 games Texas 1946-1 to 1947-5 19 games Florida St 2002-7 to 2003-7 18 games Washington 1997-15 to 1998-14 17 games Sandiego St 1999-6 to 2000-5 17 games Syracuse 1968-7 to 1969-9 17 games SMU 1959-8 to 1960-12 17 games Tulane 1950-7 to 1951-11 17 games Clemson 1985-1 to 1986-1 17 games Rice 1955-11 to 1957-3 17 games Arkansas 1963-2 to 1964-3 16 games Wake Forest 1959-3 to 1960-6 16 games Oregon St 2006-6 to 2007-4 16 games Michigan St 2008-2 to 2008-17 16 games Virginia 1999-8 to 2000-6 16 games Utah 1971-13 to 1972-14 16 games Missouri 1982-2 to 1983-8 16 games Morgan St 1970-6 to 1971-6 15 games Grambling St 1971-8 to 1972-8 15 games South Carolina 1985-14 to 1986-12 15 games Nebraska 2001-7 to 2002-4 15 games Kansas 1971-13 to 1972-13 15 games
One caveat, we are including the AFL in this, so the week numbers might be a bit funky for some of those seasons, but so be it.
Perhaps even more impressive is that since the start of the 2006 season, there have been only four weeks where Miami had just one alum scoring a touchdown. The other 55 weeks saw at least two Hurricanes score. So who scored all of these TD's?

Next logical question: Who's got the second-longest (and third, fourth, fifth, etc.) current streak?
Posted on 03-Nov-09 at 12:43 pm | PermalinkPortis has kept the streak alive on four occasions, Bubba Franks on three.
Posted on 03-Nov-09 at 1:30 pm | PermalinkNeat list! I've added a sporcle quiz based on your list (see website link).

Awesome job, Sean. You're the man.
Posted on 03-Nov-09 at 2:18 pm | PermalinkWow, and how about Ed Reed scoring a defensive TD in Week 12 of last season to keep the streak alive? That was the closest the streak came to ending in more than 2 years!
Posted on 03-Nov-09 at 2:19 pm | PermalinkThis is "scoring TDs" yes? Just thinking kickers could change the answers
