The 1970 plane crash. The university's decision to continue playing. The winning years that eventually would come. And the importance of representing the school and honoring the fallen on the crash's big anniversary. The redshirt freshman threw a season-high five touchdown passes and No. 16 Marshall commemorated the 50th anniversary of the worst disaster in U.S. sports history with a 42-14 victory over Middle Tennessee. Marshall got another standout performance from its defense and turned three turnovers into scores on a day when the university remembered the 75 people killed on Nov. 14, 1970. Marshall wore special black uniforms and the No. 75 on its helmets to honor those who were lost, which included most of the Thundering Herd football team. The crash occurred as the team's plane was returning from a game at East Carolina. There were no survivors. --- NUMBERS 13-Years since Stanford lost its home opener before being beat by Colorado 35-32. 19-Years since Penn State last started a season 0-4 before this season. 24-Years since Northwestern's previous 4-0 Big Ten start before this season. 100-Wins by coach Brian Kelly at Notre Dame, tying Lou Holtz for second in program history. He is five behind Knute Rockne. --- NO IRISH LETDOWN Notre Dame has a history of following big wins with letdowns against rival Boston College. This time the Irish wound up making some history for their coach at the Eagles' expense. Ian Book passed for three touchdowns and ran for another and the second-ranked Irish overcame an early deficit to roll to a 45-31 victory over BC. The Fighting Irish's eighth straight win in the series between FBS's only Catholic institutions gave coach Brian Kelly his 100th career victory at the school, tying him with Lou Holtz for second - five behind coach Knute Rockne. Coming off a thrilling victory against then-No. 1 Clemson, Notre Dame (8-0, 7-0 ACC) racked up a season-high 561 total yards against BC. The last time Notre Dame beat a top-ranked team was 1993, and then following week the Fighting Irish were upset by BC on a last-second field goal. --- More AP college football: https://apnews.com/Collegefootball and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25
