Related Topics: Shocking

Saturday's college football slate was full of surprises, including the Texas Longhorns' loss to Maryland and the Florida Gators' no-show versus the Michigan Wolverines. However, the Howard Bison and Liberty Flames pulled off some of the biggest stunners we may see all season.

The Bison rattled off a 43-40 win over the UNLV Rebels that was buoyed by 330 total yards of offense and three touchdowns from quarterback Caylin Newton—the younger brother of Carolina Panthers signal-caller Cam Newton—and made history in the process.

According to Pregame's RJ Bell, the Bison—who were 45-point underdogs—pulled off the biggest point-spread upset in college football history by stunning the Rebels in Sin City.
