most passing yards in a single game college

If you tuned into the Oklahoma-Texas Tech game on Oct. Penn State would finish the 1948 campaign as the No. They did not lose a game, but a 13-13 tie with the SMU Mustangs in the 1948 Cotton Bowl Classic kept the Nittany Lions from an undefeated season. Despite a stifling defense, the Nittany Lions had several close calls during the season. Penn State also set the NCAA record for fewest total yards allowed in a single game that season, when Syracuse was held to -47 yards (-107 rushing, 60 passing) in a 40-0 Penn State victory on Oct. Running the ball against the 1947 edition of the Penn State Nittany Lions football team was not advisable. In their 18th season coached by Bob Higgins, the Nittany Lions allowed just 153 rushing yards all season over 10 games.
