Efaw Now All Alone for Tight End Receiving Record
Boise State tight end Kyle Efaw set the all-time record for receiving yards by a tight end last week. This week, he moved out of a three-way tie for receptions by a tight end, grabbing his 79th career pass in the Broncos' 40-15 win over Toledo.
Kellen Moore Moved From #32 to #20 All-Time Last Night
In one night, Kellen Moore moved from #32 to #20 in NCAA history in career passing yards, as the Bronco senior sensation threw for 455 yards against Toledo.
Moore passed great quarterbacks like Peyton Manning, Chris Leak, Daunte Culpepper, Max Hall and David Greene on a single evening and now has 11,583 in his career. In Saturday's home opener in Bronco Stadium against Tulsa, Moore is on target to pass four more significant collegiate signal-callers: #19 Carson Palmer, #18 Brady Quinn, #17 Drew Brees and #17 Chase Holbrook.
Moore doesn't run an offense that would allow him to set the record set by Hawai'i's Timmy Chang (17,072), for the Broncos are as tough and physical in their running game as they are innovative in their passing attack. But if the Bronco offensive line can keep Moore healthy the entire year, #3, currently held by Brigham Young's Ty Detmer, who finished with 15,031 career yards from 1988-1991, is a reasonable target.
