Jarvion Franklin's 12-yard touchdown run on 2nd-and-11 in the third overtime gave Western Michigan a 71-68 win over Buffalo last October. The final six points made it the highest-scoring game in FBS history, eclipsing the previous record of 137 (Pittsburgh, 76, vs. Syracuse, 61, in 2016).
Western Michigan was one of several teams to score at least 70 points in a game last season. But like every other team who hit 70 points, they failed to do it again in their next two weeks (Western Michigan scored 13 in a loss to Akron the following week).
Who was the last team to score at least 70 points in three straight weeks?

Answer
Baylor (2013)
In consecutive games, Baylor beat Buffalo (70-13), ULM (70-7) and West Virginia (73-42). And while that run itself is remarkable, they fell one point shy of doing it in four straight weeks.
Prior to the Buffalo game, in Week 1, they throttled Wofford, 69-3. They missed four straight 70-point games but did become the first team in FBS history to score at least 66 points in four straight games and the first team since LSU in 1930 to score 60 points in each of their first three games.
