He threw for a season high 335 yards and tied his personal record of four touchdown passes in the win over MSU Moorhead on Nov. 6, a performance that helped establish a season record for total offense by an individual as he rushed and passed for a school record 3,716 yards breaking the old mark of 3,189 yards set during the 2003 season.
