The 50 Most Badass College Football Teams

1971 Marshall Thundering Herd
Coach: Jack Lengyel
Best Player: : Reggie Oliver
Most football programs would fold if they lost 37 players and eight coaches in a tragic plane crash. Not Marshall. After nearly the entire football program was wiped out in a charter plane crash in November, Coach Jack Lengyel and others scraped together a replacement team with junior varsity players and athletes from other sports. Even though they ended the 1971 season with a losing record, they were still badass enough to beat rivals Xavier and Bowling Green, setting the foundation for a program that would eventually return to national prominence.

1991 Washington Huskies? Cmon if the 84 BYU is on this list (beat a 7-5 Michigan to win the NC)then the 91 Huskies surely deserve to be on this list.
