Eugene Davis, University of Penn Quakers Sources have cited a University of Pennsylvania home football game from 1938 as the first televised football game.[8] This is likely due to the 1981 NCAA Television Briefing Book, which saidCollege football television had begun in 1938, when one of the University of Pennsylvania's games was beamed from Franklin Field to the Philco offices-laboratories, also in Philadelphia. As far as is known, there were six television sets in Philadelphia; and all were tuned to the game.[9]
However, this game occurred before the 1939 world's fair, which marked the beginning of regularly scheduled television broadcasts.[10] This, along with the fact that the game was broadcast to the Philco laboratories, likely means the game was used as a field test.
The University of Pennsylvania hosted the first full schedule of College Football games in 1940.[11]
The first televised football game was September 30, 1939 - Waynesburg College vs. Fordham University

Nothing. This happens more than you may think. Many players keep the football when it is a particularly meaningful touchdown to them (like their first or a record breaking touchdown).

The origins of American football began in 1869. The intercollegiate football game between Rutgers and Princeton took place at Rutgers in 1869. There is no record of what player scored the first touchdown.
Only if it relates to a first down or touchdown.
Frank Tripucka of the Denver Broncos has the distinction of having thrown the first touchdown pass in the American Football League's history (to Al Carmichael on Sep. 9, 1960 at Boston).
If you are thinking of American Football then i have no idea ,but there are not any touchdowns in the AFL
The first official source of college football news was the NCAA. The first college football game was between Princeton and Rutgers University in 1869.
I don't know if he was the first, but I think he was the first and only: Bo Jackson.
Desmond Howard
The first football season started in 1887.
