Today in College Football America History – Oct. 6

Today we celebrate this day in College Football America Yearbook history by looking back on the games we’ve covered on this date, Oct. 6. The staff at the College Football America Yearbook has been attending and coverings games since 2010, even before we actually had a physical yearbook to sell. Our staff travels the country to cover anywhere from 50 to 70 college football games per season. So, we’ve accumulated many games, many photos and many memories. Each day, we’ll encapsulate those memories here and include links to our photos and game coverage that will help you take a look back, too.

2012: Stephen F. Austin (FCS) vs. Sam Houston State (FCS)

Our College Football America Yearbook director of editorial content Chuck Cox had seen a few Battle of the Piney Woods rivalry games, but this was the first time he had seen one of them played at Houston’s NRG Stadium, home of the Houston Texans. The annual contest between the Lumberjacks and Bearkats moved to the venue in 2010. SHSU won the slugfest, 51-43. Unfortunately we have no photo gallery from this game.
