    Has there been a team to take more time than this in the history of football? It would be interesting to know.
    2004 Emerald Bowl. Navy vs. New Mexico:

    a 26-play, 14 minute-26 second epic that took just over 32 minutes in real time. It was college football's most time-consuming drive ever, and it didn't even produce a touchdown—on the drive's last play, Navy kicked a field goal to go up by 15. The drive started with 1:41 left in the third quarter with Navy leading 31-19 and having just thwarted a New Mexico touchdown plunge by inches. When the drive was over, just 2:15 was left in the game, and the Lobos' fate was all but sealed.
    WSJ article entitled "College Football's Longest Drive". (Google the title if you can't read the direct link. Should give you access to the article.)

    Paul Johnson-coached teams love to dominate TOP, but his QBs don't routinely milk the play clock down to 1 or 2 seconds like Brock does. I get kind of stressed watching games on TV with the play clock running down all the time.

    When Brock plunged across that goal line, it was pure pandemonium in the Bison section.
    I was on the opposite end of the stadium in the standing room area. Disappointed only about 20% of the fans in SRO were Bison fans, but we did make some noise. When the players came on and off the field they walked the ramp right in front of us and we gave lots of encouraging shouts. At the end of the game hearing the Bison fans roar as the players ran over to them was the loudest I have ever heard 5000 to 6000 fans. Gave me chills. Then coach Bohl ran over to us in the SRO and we all pressed up against the fence........tried to high 5 over an 8 foot tall fence. As we congratulated coach he said thanks to us. Just a great final touch to an awesome game!

    The intensity built up for 8-1/2 minutes with an amazing ending. Many times it was 3rd down and 11 or 12 yards to go.

    Best drive I've ever seen. The duration of the drive was 8:30 though. It started with 8:58 on the clock and Brock scored with 0:28 remaining.
