2007 Weber State Vs. Portland State Football Game
The 2007 Weber State-Portland State football game was a college football game held on October 23 at PGE Park in Portland, Oregon. It pitted the Portland State Vikings against the Weber State Wildcats. The Wildcats defeated the Vikings 73-68. The two teams combined for 141 points, setting an National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) all-division record for most points scored in a game.
That record lasted only two weeks, as on November 10, Hartwick defeated Utica 72-70 in a four-overtime Division III game. In the second round of the NCAA Division II playoffs on November 24, Chadron State defeated Abilene Christian 76-73 in three overtimes after coming back from a 49-20 fourth-quarter deficit to tie the game at 56 at the end of regulation. The following year, in the same round of the Division II playoffs, that record was smashed when Abilene Christian defeated West Texas A&M 93–68 on November 22, 2008. The Weber State-Portland State game still holds the record for most points scored in a Division I college football game.

“The savage soul of game is up at once—
The pack full-opening various, the shrill horn
Resounded from the hills, the neighing steed
Wild for the chase, and the loud hunter’s shout—
O’er a weak, harmless, flying creature, all
Mixed in mad tumult and discordant joy.”
—James Thomson (1700–1748)
