When you are the tailback for Division III Heidelberg, we need a reason and now we have one...

Or, to be more honest, 465 of them... a new NCAA record in a 42-14 win over Baldwin-Wallace...

The record was held by Western Connecticut's Octavias McKoy, who ran for 455 yards against Worcester State three weeks ago. McKoy broke Marietta College's Dante Brown's 441-yard mark from 1996.

Here's the short version...


"We had a good game today," Brooks told the school's website. "This could be our last game, so we wanted to play well for our seniors. I just followed my blocks."

Yes, Cartel... You did...

The Stamford, Connecticut running back is now the NCAA record holder for yards in a game...

455 yards on 43 carries with 5 TD's in WCSU's 55-35 win over Worcester State gives him the record over Marietta's Dante Brown by 15 yards- set in 1996. McKoy (pictured right, thanks Matt Wright- Worcester State SID) scored on runs of 15, one, 41, 53 and 71 yards as they outscored Worcester 27-7 in the second half after being tied 28-28 at the half.
