Bailey Zappe breaks Joe Burrow's single-season TD record. Not bad for a kid from Victoria, TX, who started his college career at Houston Baptist. https://t.co/SpKQBAK5ma

It wasn’t very college football for the TD’s in a season record to be held by an LSU QB.
Now a guy name Bailey Zappe at WKU. That’s college football 😂 https://t.co/emQNk4Dg6k

App State hadn’t allowed a 300-yard passer since the 2019 Sun Belt title game. Zappe is at 418/6 in the third quarter
