The Good And The Bad In Thursday College Football Record Breaking

((HT: ESPN))

First, let's go with the good... well, "good" if you're a fan of Texas A&M-Commerce

98 points, 986 yards of total offense and a 78-point win over East Texas Baptist
Here's the short version...


Not surprisingly, the 986 yards is an NCAA Division II record for total offense. They also set Lone Star Conference records for points scored with 98, tied the touchdown record with 13, broke the record for the most point after attempts with 13 and tied the record with 11 PATs made. A&M-Commerce set a record for most points in a half with 57.

On the flip side, NCAA DII South Atlantic Conference power Tusculum allowed (or "didn't allow?") minus-100 total yards and minus-124 yards rushing to set the NCAA single-game records in a 71-0 victory over the College of Faith.

Here's what Tusculum thought about the match-up before the game

The previous record was minus-69, by Division II school Fort Valley State against Miles in 1993. The previous record for fewest yards rushing allowed was minus-112, by Division III program Coast Guard against Wesleyan (Connecticut) in 1989.

Tusculum beat Faith last year 63-0 and here's the Frankie DeBusk show from that week

Who Is Cartel Brooks And Why Are We Talking About Him...???

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.

Here's what the Colonials knew they were getting when he signed on...


LaDanian Tomlinson has the D1 record with 406 yards rushing...

OSG High: Bama Commit Henry Sets New Rushing Record

((HT: FirstCoastNews/Jacksonville))

Yulee ((FL)) High tailback Derrick Henry broke a 60-year-old record in high school football on his team's way to a playoff victory over Taylor County ((FL)) High Friday night...

Ken Hall played for SugarLand ((TX)) High and held the yardage record set in the early 1950's until Henry's 58-carry, 482-yard, 6TD performance to pass the old record of 11,232 career yards.

Henry now has 11,612 yards and 148 TDs- which is 6th on the career US list...

Here's FOSG's Dan Hicken and Chris Porter rolling those highlights...

Henry has rushed for over 100 yards in all 45 games he has played in, and set the Florida single-game record with a 510-yard performance earlier this year...

Yeah, Nick Saban would never want a piece of Henry's alleged talents...
