Last week when South Carolina beat Tennessee 63-38, that was the most points a top 5 team ever yielded to an unranked team.
This is correct. The Texas-UCLA blowout was when Texas was ranked #11 and James Brown was the QB. I confused that with an earlier Texas blowout when they had Peter Gardere at QB. That team was ranked #3 and lost to Miami in a bowl game 46-3.
