Big Sky passing TD record

Vernon Adams is one TD away from tying Brian Ah Yat's 1996 record so it likely will be broken this weekend. Not sure if Ah Yat had one less game or not and playoff stats didn't count either so Adams will have that advantage too. At any rate Adams is having a great season along with the conference leading record breaking frosh WR. With any luck they will declare for draft early like a couple stars from EWU have done recently. LOL

1996 was an 11-game regular season. Adams came up one short in my books. Put an asterisk next to that one 8-) .
 
Any record that is broken by anybody who is not a Griz is meaningless and an affront to God and nature.

No, they're not. I'm just saying they should be on equal ground. Let's do this, I'll even give Adams the weaker opponent for week 12 and I'll include Ah Yat's 1st round playoff opponent to make it 12 weeks for both. Ah Yat threw 3 TDs in the that one and sat the 4th quarter.
 
Actually to me this just highlights how remarkable that year was for BAY. Consider all of the great QBs to play in the BSC since 1996, many of whom had anywhere from 1 to 5 extra games to pad their stats. Ah Yat was special.

The fact that he led the Griz to the national championship game seems to get lost.
My spouse and I had that conversation earlier today. We went to Chatanooga for the 1996 NC game, but the facts that Ah Yat played with a lesser cast of characters around him and with the absence of Don Read all contribute to his being "lost" in the world of Griz gliterratai.
 
Thanks to some google searching since the "useful" gogriz.com site doesn't have archived stats like montanagrizzlies.com used to have.

Trying to find stat lines for the playoff games, any help would be appreciated.

Nicholls State: 3 TDs

E. Tenn State: 2 TDs

Troy State: 4 TDs

Marshall: 1 TD

So that was his grand total if you include playoffs, which they didn't then but will do now. Also Ah Yat did this over 11 games while Adams plays his 12th of the season I believe on Saturday.

So yeah, Adams will get the record, and set a new bar depending on how far the Eagles go in the playoffs. It'll be interesting to see if he eclipsed Ah Yat's true total from 1996, which was 42 in the regular season and 52 total on the year.

Ah Yat's record has lasted a long time, and it was a great feat, but if we're playing on a level playing field the record was, is, and will probably remain Dickenson's--he had 56 in '95 counting playoffs.
