does anybody know of a source (video) for Strasburg's 23 K performance in college?

I remember looking for this back when he was drafted or during his rookie year.
It was San Diego St vs Utah, and the Aztecs won 1-0, w.Stras's 23 K's being a big part.

There has been a crappy 2-minute video available on youtube for ages, now, but I'd dig watching the full game (might help prevent some post-MLB depression, if nothing else).

Here's a good story on the game:
https://www.sandiegouniontribune.co...rikeout-game-in-2008-for-sdsu-0411-story.html

Surprisingly, this line appears in the story:
Only two players in college baseball history have struck out more hitters in a nine-inning game.

After an inning-by-inning description of the game, the story includes:
SDSU right-hander Stephen Strasburg?s 23 strikeouts against Utah in 2008 are the most in Division I in the past 37 years. It ranks among the top six performances in NCAA history. Here are the all-time single-game leaders for a nine-inning game:

26 ? Buddy Schultz, Miami (Ohio) vs. Wright State, 1973

24 ? Butch Mixon, LSU vs. Louisiana-Lafayette, 1959

23 ? Stephen Strasburg, SDSU vs. Utah, 2008

23 ? Neal Heaton, Miami (Fla.) vs. Indiana State, 1981

23 ? Doug Wessel, Vanderbilt vs. Chattanooga, 1970

23 ? Peter Smith, Colgate vs. Bucknell, 1961

Major League record
Major league single-game strikeout record (nine innings):

20 ? Randy Johnson, Arizona vs. Cincinnati, 2001

20 ? Kerry Wood, Chicago Cubs vs. Houston, 1998

20 ? Roger Clemens, Boston vs. Detroit, 1996

20 ? Roger Clemens, Boston vs. Seattle, 1986
======

Most notably, those higher K games, including that Buddy Schultz game.

I sure couldn't remember who Buddy Schultz was, and if you're interested:

Longshot to find a video of the contest, as I've looked app.10 years ago and just recently today, and I'm usually decent at finding any web sources, if available.

Was a hell of a series.
I'm just re-watching some Nats-Brews wild card action...debating on checking how bad the Cards are being done in (NFL) or maybe see if Kawhi and company can hand the Spurs their first loss. Latter seems probable before midnight, here.

Thanks for any help in the matter, if possible.
Was a great series.
Somehow reminded me of '01 w.Yanks-D'Backs (Scherzer & Strasburg playing the roles of Schilling & Johnson).

I can't even find a boxscore for that Buddy Schultz game.
It was a division 1 game and I was curious to see if any of his opponents eventually became major leaguers. Swing-and-a-miss on that inquiry.

I'm tempted to re-post the original question in the MLB forum but fuck it...this looks to be an impossible find.

Too bad. That Patrick Mahomes 748 yard game (I believe it was) is available, I think at youtube. It was against Baker Mayfield and Oklahoma, so no surprise. More recent, too, which I think is more important (nothing going un-saved, these days). I sure hope Mahomes gets back before December rolls in.

Speaking of Kawhi (38 in the W over Spurs), it's interesting that both him and Strasburg attended San Diego St at college. Cool note, there, for me, as the Raptors run last season finally has me crossing the borders from minor baskets observer to a rather interested hoops fan. Parity totally looks in, this season, at least early on; Warriors now have tons of company in the West.

Can anyone confirm this, at least:
It appears that Strasburg's 23 K game was in the year before he was drafted, and he spent one more season at San Diego St where he went 13-1 and also threw a no-hitter.

Pretty cool shit.
And what the hell ever did happen to Mark Prior? (I can't remember now, but musta been injuries).

enjoy whatevas

I appreciate the efforts.
And thanks for the Schultz video post. Cool stuff, there. How he went 26/27 outs with K's is beyond me. Not sure what the over/under for the number of his K victims actually played in the major leagues for any stretch of time (say min.150 games); I'd be tempted to set it at 0.5.

I remember the good old days when I use to be able to compose a coherent sentence.
:facepalm:

That is zero point five, though.
I'll take the under.
(not big, as I have no clue what I'd be basing that on)
