Very good. Yale in 1894.

The modern record for most wins without a loss was 15, which was done four times before Indiana broke it this record.

Who were the four teams to go 15-0 (excluding Penn in 1897).

I think I remember reading that when D1-AA North Dakota State won their championship and Trey Lance was quarterback, they went 16-0. Don't recall the year.

Orel played one year with the Giants but he’s not in the Hall of Fame

Ok sayings or Nick Names for two
One saying includes rain
One Nickname includes flatbush
Plus two were just elected to the Hall one played with the Giants

Most recent HOF class was Suzuki, Sabathia, and Wagner; I don’t think any played with the Giants.

I guess it depends on what you mean by “just elected”.
