| Case Keenum Watch |
| Cougar fans could play witness to history on Saturday. Senior quarterback Case Keenum needs 130 yards of total offense on Saturday to break the NCAA career record in that category. The record is currently held by former Hawaii signal caller Timmy Chang. Keenum is also closing in on two more NCAA career marks. He needs just 11 more TD passes this season to set the career record and needs 1,178 passing yards the rest of the season to pass Chang and the NCAA's all-time passer. |  |
