Division-III Running Back Ran For 522 Yards & 7 TD's Yesterday, Broke NCAA Record... vs Rico Bosco's Former Team

Curry Athletics – The game was all about one player, with that player being Curry running back Montie Quinn. The All-American ran for an NCAA record 522 yards, and a program record seven touchdowns, all on just 20 carries. The senior had eight rushes of over 25 yards, including touchdown runs of 85, 84, 76, 64, 58, and 30 yards. His other TD was a two-yard run, which was set up by a 43 yard run two plays earlier.

If the Curry College Colonels haven't been appointment television for you on Saturday's this college football Saturdays this season... well you're the same as everyone else. The Curry College Colonels are a D-III football team. A D-III football team who happens to be located in Milton, Massachusetts. Which randomly is the home of Barstool Sports HQ #1.

And even more randomly, Montie Quinn, running back for he Curry College Colonels, who just ran for 522 yards and 7 TD's in a single game, did so vs Nichols College. The alma mater of Barstool Sports very own Rico Bosco. Who once played defensive back for Nichols College. If only Nichols College had Bosco roaming the secondary vs Curry yesterday. Then Montie Quinn might have been able to break the 600-yard mark been shut down before he really got going.

This Montie Quinn guy though… pretty solid D-III football player.

He shattered the single game rushing record yesterday. By nearly 100 yards. 

Curry Athletics – Not only did Quinn break the DIII NCAA record for rushing yards in a game, he ran for the most yards by anyone to ever play a collegiate football game, at any division. He became the first player ever to rush for over 500 yards in a game.

For comparison, the previous NCAA DIII record was held by Cartel Brooks, who ran for 465 yards on 38 attempts for Heidelberg (OH) in 2013. The DII record is held by Connor Silveria, who ran for 425 yards on 46 attempts for South Dakota Mines in 2018. The DI FCS record is held by Maurice Hicks, who ran for 437 yards on 34 attempts for North Carolina A&T in 2001. The DI FBS record is held by Samaje Perine, who ran for 427 yards on 34 carries for Oklahoma in 2014.

Quinn bested all of them, rushing for 522 yards on just 20 carries, averaging 26.1 yards per carry.

And he sat out the final 2 drives. Had he played those, you gotta think he would have touched 700. I feel like that deserves a mention on the blog. Hell of a game Montie Quinn.
