CFP Trivia Challenge Question

Q. Who kicked the longest punt in football history?

Posted by David. You guys have 24 hours to take the 50 away from David. Good Luck!

Pat Brady had the longest college punt.

[ktffan]

Brady's punt was 99.

[Spence]

RT, 98 isn't the right answer. Although, 98 is the longest punt in the NFL.

The right answer hasn't been posted yet so you still have a shot.

[ktffan]

Pat O'Dea kicked a 110 yarder in 1898.

Pat O'Dea kicked a 110 yarder in 1898.

Do you have a source on that, because of you do it is a winner.

Statistically speaking you really can't do any better then 100 yards in modern football(except for CFL) so you probably would have gotten the cash on the Pat Brady answer, but we have a listed source at 105 yards, but if you can give me a source on the 110 yards you will knock David out of the cash.

Not one I'd consider reliable. Were we looking for Canadian Football League punt?

No, that is why you would have gotten the money either way. I am going to check your source out and if it seems legit, I'll except it.

This will happen from time to time with questions that could possibly have more then one answer depending on differing ways of keeping stats.

The NCAA record is 99 yards (stats prior to 37 needed verification or were thrown out).

I don't know the record for punting in the Canadian Football League. I think it can get up to 134 yards.

[Spence]

I understand that, but his question was the longest in history. While it is something that can't be verified exactly, your 110 beats Davids list source at 105, so you knock David out of the money. I was going to give you the cash anyway, for the reasons you just mentioned. This was David's source...

KTFFAN is the winner of the first trivia challenge question.

Since there was no standard answer to that question, I will try do do a better job in the future.
