Notable performances and accomplishments from the college football weekend, by the numbers:

0: Turnovers by Wagner in its six-game winning streak, the latest 30-0 at Albany. The streak is its longest since 1988. The Seahawks (6-1) had to deal with disruptions caused by Superstorm Sandy on their Staten Island campus all week but still allowed only 188 yards in taking over the Northeast Conference lead from the Great Danes.

13: Consecutive losses by Army against fellow service academies before beating Air Force 41-21. The winner of the Black Knights' game Dec. 8 against Navy in Philadelphia will claim the Commander in Chief's Trophy.

20:43: Game time elapsed for Division III Wisconsin-Oshkosh to score all of its points in a 56-31 win against Wisconsin-Stevens Point. The Titans (9-0) led 56-10 at halftime, the eight scoring possessions averaging four plays.

44: Years since Vanderbilt shut out a Southeastern Conference team before a 40-0 win at Kentucky. The Commodores' last SEC shutout was Nov. 9, 1968 — at Kentucky. Vandy's last shutout of any FBS team was in 1982, 45-0 against Virginia Tech.

54: Rushing plays by Colgate — none for negative yards — in a 65-41 win against Lafayette. The Raiders (6-3) gained a school-record 512 yards on those runs, 288 by QB Gavin McCarney and 203 by TB Jordan McCord. It was the most points in a game for the Raiders since a 66-0 win against St. Lawrence in 1941.
