OSG D3: Hardin-Simmons Sets 23 Records In 86-42 Win

((HT: Hardin-Simmons Athletics))

Meet the new boss... and an answer to a lot of trivia questions from this moment forward...

Hardin-Simmons put up 86 points in a 44-point win over Sul Ross State in Abilene, Texas Saturday. Sufficed to say, there were a lot of new NCAA records put on the table:

Most Yards Gained By Both Teams- 1714, replacing the old record of 1,640 from the San Jose State-Nevada game in 2001.

NCAA Division III Records

Most Yards Gained By Both Teams- 1714
Most yards gained- 914 by Hardin-Simmons (685 passing)- QB Logan Turner threw for 8 scores. The old record was 614 yards.

McMurry had the old record of 848 yards in a game...

Sul Ross had 800 on the day and did it without the D3 leader in all-purpose yards, Dominique Carson, who sat out because of injury.

Here's the condensed version of the highlights...
Admittedly, for 86 points, that's hard to do...


Hardin-Simmons average... "averaged"... 12 yards per play in the game...

If you really want to get into all the numbers for your future bar bets, Joey Richards of the Abilene Reporter-News has all the details and quotes you'll need...

North of the border, by the way, the University of Calgary beat U-Manitoba 78-54 to set all kinds of CIS records. The HQ is still looking for highlights of that one...
