Say "hello" to Octavias McKoy: college football's new single-game rushing king.
McKoy, a senior at Division III Western Connecticut, broke the NCAA record across all divisions with 455 rushing yards in a single game, as detailed by ESPN.
The previous record was 441 yards, set by Dante Brown of Marietta in 1996. It easily eclipsed the FBS record of 406 yards set by former TCU great LaDainian Tomlinson.
McKoy amassed his staggering total off 43 carries and reached the end zone five times in Western Connecticut's 55-35 win over Worcester State. The game took place at Worcester State's Coughlin Field in Worcester, Mass.
Worcester State sports information director Steven Miller detailed McKoy's huge day that included rushing scores of 15, one, 41, 53 and 71 yards.
McKoy has tallied more than 160 rushing yards in each of the last four games and has three straight games over 225 yards. He has also reached the end zone five times in three consecutive games.
