The NCAA record for passing yards in a college football game is 734 yards.

Remarkably, two different players have thrown for exactly 734 yards in a game.ย 

Unsurprisingly, the first is Patrick Mahomes, who threw for 734 yards and five touchdowns against Baker Mayfieldโ€™s Oklahoma team on Oct. 22, 2016. Mayfield and the Sooners won, 66-59.ย 

Two years earlier, little-known Washington State quarterback Connor Halliday originally set the mark in a 60-59 loss to Jared Goffโ€™s California team.
