QB sets NCAA record with 730 passing yards
TAYLOR Heinicke topped himself.
The quarterback for Old Dominion, who threw seven touchdown passes in a blowout victory against Campbell last week, made that look like no big deal with an encore performance that earned him a place in college football history.
Heinicke threw for a NCAA Division I record 730 yards on Saturday, leading the highly ranked Monarchs back from a 23-point deficit midway through the third quarter to a 64-61 victory against New Hampshire in Norfolk, Va.
Make that nationally ranked New Hampshire, one of the premier programs in the Colonial Athletic Association, the closest thing at the FCS level to what the Southeastern Conference is at the FBS level.
But as New Hampshire coach Sean McDonnell said of ODU: "They've got a guy pulling the trigger who doesn't make mistakes."
He sure didn't make any Saturday while breaking a mark David Klingler of Houston set in 1990 with 716 yards against Arizona State. He completed 55 of 79 attempts.
