Everything about NCAA football is exciting, especially when you realize that these young men are fighting to play every?Sunday.? Taylor Heinicke not only proved that? but turned heads while doing it.
Taylor Heinicke set a Division I record by passing for 730 yards as Old Dominion rallied to beat New Hampshire 64-61 in the Colonial Athletic Association opener for both teams.
Heinicke was 55 for 79, setting school records for both, and coming two completions short of the FCS record. David Klingler of Houston had the Division I record of 716 yards passing against Arizona State on Dec. 2, 1990.
Earlier this season, Sam Durley, of Eureka (Ill.) College, set the NCAA single-game mark with 736 passing yards in a 62-55 win against Knox in a Division II game.
Heinicke, a sophomore from Atlanta, has thrown for 1,921 and 19 touchdowns for Old Dominion (4-0).
Now of course New Hampshire isn?t an Alabama or any type of big school what so ever, but to throw for that many yards still deserves to have some recognition.
New Hampshire (2-2) dominated the CAA?s top-ranked defense throughout the first three quarters, taking a 54-38 lead into the fourth quarter.
However, Heinicke threw for two touchdowns to Nick Mayers and Angus Harper scored on a 2-yard run, capping a 23-0 scoring run for the Monarchs. Mayers hauled in 12 passes for 271 yards.
The Wildcats rallied, tying the game 61-all behind a 45-yard pass from Andy Vailas, but Heinicke led the Monarchs on an 11-play, 74-yard drive that ended with Jared Brown?s game-winning 25-yard field goal.

Pay close attention to this young man, he could be a late round pick up for one of your teams in the NFL someday. Once again 730 yards! Good job young man!
