Montie Quinn Sets NCAA Single-Game Rushing Record

Curry College senior running back Montie Quinn rushed for an NCAA single-game record 522 yards on 20 carries and scored seven touchdowns in a 71–27 home win over Nichols College. His touchdown runs covered 64, 30, 76, 84, 58, 2 and 85 yards, and he sat out the final two drives after the late 85-yard score. The 522-yard outing eclipsed previous single-game marks—including Division III's Cartel Brooks (465) and the FBS mark of 427 by Samaje Perine—to establish the NCAA single-game rushing record for any division. Quinn has 1,450 rushing yards and 17 touchdowns this season, credited his offensive line, receivers and coaches for the performance, and Curry coach Todd Parsons called the game “nothing short of amazing.” The game also set program single-game scoring and touchdown records and drew national attention.
