Bailey Zappe breaks Joe Burrow’s single-season FBS TD pass record

Bailey Zappe has had an outstanding year for the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers this season.

That continued on Saturday afternoon in the Boca Raton Bowl, when he took down a major Joe Burrow’s FBS record.

As you can see below, the talented WKU quarterback is now the single-season leader in both passing yards and touchdown passes:

He broke B.J. Symons’ passing yards record earlier in the game. Now, Burrow’s TD pass record has fallen, too.

Here was the record-breaking pass:

He has since added TD number 62 to his incredible stat line:

How many yards and touchdowns will he finish with? He’s still going strong as the bowl game winds down!
