Safron Sets Records

[superhornet]

Garrett Safron broke the single game passing record for the SECOND time this season during yesterday's 43-42 win at Portland State. He threw for 554 yards (rivaling the NFL mark set by Norm Van Brocklin with the Rams during the early '50s), and did a VERY good job of spreading the ball around.

Safron also set single-season records for attempts, completions, yards, and touchdowns, in addition to the career TDs record (52). This is freaking AMAZING given the team's struggles this season, particularly that FBS skein to start the season. In addition to the usual characters, Safron ALSO made sure to utilize senior WR Austin Dotson, who set up the final drive with the previous touchdown and had a key reception during the game-winning drive as well, all after going the entire season without a catch.

Safron wasn't the only Hornet with record, either. WR Deandre Carter tied the Hornet single-season TD record for receivers (set by Mike Carter in 1969) with 14.

Safron and Carter have one more shot to extend these records next Saturday at Hornet Stadium as Sac hosts UC Davis in the 60th Causeway Classic.

AND he had 42 net yards rushing.

Safron is simply becoming the best Hornet QB ever. Good thing I am not a football coach, I didn't think much of him a few years ago.

Safron has been lights out this season with the exception of the FBS games and the CP game. Playing Safron has been one of the few correct decisions Sperbeck has made this season.

Sad thing is this just goes to show how bad this coaching staff is. All these records and at best we finish 500. How does a coaching staff squander this type of offensive production and only obtain a middle of the road finish with a fairly weak schedule? This is unacceptable.

Let us hope the coaching staff prepares the team properly for the Davis game.

Can't we celebrate a great achievement without reference to the horrors of the season?

Thanks for clarifying. I've been wondering whether Carter was nearing the record. I figured he'd have to be close, if he didn't have it already. Actually, if it wasn't for a technicality, he would have the record already. He has 1 TD that was ruled a lateral thus a rushing TD instead of a receiving TD. Hopefully he'll get at least 1 more against UCD.

Love that the kid is only a Junior and we have him 1 more year.
