"RFC Throwback Thursday" has returned for another season of memories involving the college football programs that are currently not members of the so-called "power conferences."
This week, we go back to 1992. That was when The Citadel Bulldogs had one of their best seasons during their 120-year history. It started with a 10-3 upset win over Arkansas on September 5, then downed Army 15-14 three weeks later.
The Bulldogs suffered only one loss during the regular season, falling to eventual NCAA Division I-AA (now FCS) national champion Marshall 34-13 on October 17. However, they won five straight games to finish the regular season at 11-1 overall and 6-1 in the Southern Conference, good enough for a league title.
The Citadel's season ended in the first round of the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs, as the Bulldogs lost to then-defending national champion Youngstown State 42-17. They finished the 1992 season at 11-2 overall following the loss to the Penguins.
