With NCAA president Mark Emmert looking on–having flown to Whitewater Saturday morning, Central Senior Quartertback Blaine Hawkins set the NCAA all-divisions record season passing touchdowns record, finishing the year with 63 in 13 games. The special moment happened in the season-ending 51-21 D-III Playoff loss of the Dutch to Whitewater. Hawkins entered the day sharing the mark with Brett Elliott of Linfield (Ore.), who threw 61 TD passes in 2004. The Division I mark of 60 was set by Joe Burrow of LSU over 15 games in 2019.
