Looks like it.

The video replay at NBC lasts 5:59:03, but somewhere I think I saw the official game time was 5 hours 53 minutes (can't find the link now)

The previous record of 4 hours 56 minutes was held by Arkansas and UK at Lexington, KY in 2003

I think the arkansas/kentucky game was long for entirely different reasons; I'm not sure this really counts.

It's also not the first time a game was delayed for weather, so I'd imagine there are some pretty lengthy games if you count the time delays -- probably ones that even span multiple days.

The Arkansas/Kentucky game started at 7pm and ended just after midnight. I thought ESPN said today it was 5:59

Not sure.. but the record may not stand long.  WVU vs Marshal is still in delay.

And you KNOW that Marshall will never forfeit like Western Michigan did.

So we were part of history for just one day?  All that waiting and sitting for just one day?  ;)

I don't know. Unbelievably, Marshall threw in the towel and forfeited after all, so it's not a COMPLETE game. We may still have the longest complete game on record...

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
