Individual regular season college football games are not inherently notable per
WP:SPORTSEVENT, and such individual CFB games must generally satisfy the general notability guidelines to be suitable for inclusion, and that also means that coverage must exceed
WP:ROUTINE post-game coverage of typical individual games. Pursuant to established precedents and the consensus of
WP:WikiProject College football, individual regular season games should have some historical significance for a stand-alone article. Articles regarding individual regular season games are disfavored and discouraged; content regarding such individual regular season games generally should be incorporated into the parent articles about the season of the individual teams (see
2008 Oregon Ducks football team and
2008 Oregon State Beavers football team) or rivalry article about the series (see
Civil War (college football game)). For all of these reasons, this article about a regular season CFB game should be Deleted.

Delete per nom. This doesn't seem to be a particularly notable game. Can be sufficiently covered with relevant rivalry and season articles.

Comment - Here's a list of the applicable notability guidelines for interested editors:
1.
WP:GNG: "significant coverage in reliable sources creates an assumption, not a guarantee, that a subject should be included. A more in-depth discussion might conclude that the topic actually should not have a stand-alone article".
3.
WP:ROUTINE: "Routine events such as sports matches, film premieres, press conferences etc. may be better covered as part of another article, if at all."
4.
WP:NOTNEWS: "Wikipedia considers the enduring notability of persons and events. While news coverage can be useful source material for encyclopedic topics, most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion. For example, routine news reporting on things like announcements, sports, or celebrities is not a sufficient basis for inclusion in the encyclopedia."
5.
WP:Notability (events)/
WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE: "Although notability is not temporary, meaning that coverage does not need to be ongoing for notability to be established, a burst or spike of news reports does not automatically make an incident notable. Events that are only covered in sources published during or immediately after an event, without further analysis or discussion, are likely not suitable for an encyclopedia article."
