The game between Illinois and Penn State had an insane ending as the game went to nine.. yes NINE overtimes before Illinois pulled off a shocking upset over Penn State. The game went to overtime tied at 10 and Illinois and Penn State each scored field goals in the first two overtimes. Then starting in the third overtime, teams are required to exchange two point conversions. Neither team could score to save their life and it took all the way until the eighth overtime for each team to score. Then in the ninth overtime, Penn State got stopped on their try and Illinois converted, giving them a stunning 20-18 win over Penn State. The game is the first ever 8+ overtime game in college football history.

College football overtime rules have changed but some games are going to challenge for the most overtimes in history.
Overtime games can be one of the most exciting aspects of college football. With the alternating possessions, the pressure and stakes are ramped up to a million.
Of course, the college football overtime rules have changed for the 2021 season with teams alternating two-point conversion attempts. That’s likely to lead to a ton of games with many, many overtimes.
But what’s the record for the most overtimes in a single game in college football history? Don’t worry, we have you covered.
Prior to Saturday, Oct. 23, 2021, there were five games in which there were seven overtimes.
In Week 8 of the 2021 season, though, the slog between Illinois and Penn State not only became the sixth game to reach seven overtimes, but it set the record itself by going into the ninth overtime where Illinois picked up the win, 20-18.
This game wasn’t as exciting as, say, the most recent seven-overtime game with Texas A&M and LSU in 2018 as the Illini and Nittany Lions were struggling to convert two-point conversion attempts under the new rules, thus leading to the long, long affair.
With the new rules, you have to wonder if we’ll see a new record set sometime soon.

as per usual good old fashioned Indiana high school basketball [before class B-ball ruined it] is the pace setter
