I thought he was asking for this year?

No, I was not clear on that, sorry. I meant all time. I tried to find the answer quickly, I've seen some high scoring games but not during the bowls. I came across a Georgia Tech beatdown of Cumberland for 222-0, though it was not a bowl game:

John Heisman (for whom the Heisman Trophy is named) once coached Georgia Tech to a 222-0 win over tiny Cumberland College.

 

The game took place on October 7, 1916, and gave Heisman a chance to redeem himself. He was also coach of the Tech baseball team, which had been embarrassed by Cumberland by a score of 22-0 one year before.

 

In football, Cumberland was heavily outmatched by a Georgia Tech team that would go on to win the national championship the next year. The records that were set in this game are too numerous to list, but here are a few highlights:

 

Tech scored on every possession, with 63 points in each of the first two quarters. Jim Preas attempted 18 point-after-touchdown kicks, all in the first half, and converted every one of them. Cumberland never garnered a first down, and their longest play of the day was a 10-yard pass play. Too bad for them, it was fourth down and 22 yards to go at the time.

 

Ramblin' wreck, indeed.
