The NCAA record book is officially obsolete, as Curry running back Montie Quinn obliterated it. The senior running back, a D3football.com preseason All-America pick, more than lived up to that billing as he rolled for 522 yards in Curry's 71-27 win vs. Nichols. 

Record progression

The needle hasn't moved often on the single-game rushing record for Division III, as the record has changed hands twice in 2013, but just once since.

1996: Dante Brown, Marietta, 441 yards 

2013: Octavias McKoy, Western Conn., 455 yards

2013: Cartel Brooks, Heidelberg, 465 yards

2025: Montie Quinn, Curry, 522 yards

Quinn ran for touchdowns of 64, 30, 76, 84, 58, 2 and 85 yards, accounting for 399 yards, and ran for 123 yards on his other 13 carries in the win. Only one carry came after the third quarter. Curry snapped the ball just 39 times on the day.

After the game, Curry coach Todd Parsons said: "what Montie did today was nothing short of amazing. Breaking the NCAA rushing record is a monumental achievement. I think he'd be the first to tell you, records like this don't happen alone. Our offensive line played lights out, our receivers blocked downfield, and our quarterback made great decisions."

"I'm just humbled and grateful. Breaking the record is something I never imagined coming into today," Quinn said. "The O-line was dominating all game; receivers were blocking like crazy and coaches put us in position to make plays. This belongs to all of us; I just happened to be the one carrying the ball."

The previous Division III record for rushing yards in a single game was 465, set by Cartel Brooks of Heidelberg in a 2013 game vs. Baldwin Wallace.

Bryson Rollins threw for 313 yards but was intercepted three times and Millsaps turned those picks into 10 points in order to defeat the Scots, 31-21. Freshman Grant Bizjack threw for 348 yards and two touchdowns to give the Majors the win. Millsaps improved to 4-2, 2-1 in the Southern Athletic Association. Braxton Garmon ran for a TD as well. It's the first loss of the season for Maryville.

Jacob Hoy caught a touchdown pass for Misericordia with two seconds to play, and then he caught the two-point conversion pass as well to give Misericordia its first-ever win against Stevenson, by the score of 29-28. Jacob Hunter was 17-for-34 for 204 yards and three touchdowns in the win, putting Misericordia into first place all alone in the MAC at 5-0 in conference play. Eastern and Lebanon Valley are one game back at 4-1.

Roman Funk threw for 478 yards and seven touchdowns as Concordia Wisconsin put itself firmly in the driver's seat in the Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference with a 54-45 win against Aurora. Funk also ran for a touchdown as well. Five receivers caught passes, including three different receivers in the fourth quarter as the Falcons rallied from a 45-35 deficit to score the final 19 points.

Michael Fleming connected on a 29-yard field goal on the final play from scrimmage to lift Franklin & Marshall to a 23-20 victory at rival Dickinson in the annual battle for The Conestoga Wagon trophy. Fleming's kick went through the uprights and left just a single tick on the clock. Fleming's kick was F&M's first game-winning field goal in the final seconds since Chris DeStefano hit a 30-yard field goal with seven seconds remaining during a 31-28 victory over McDaniel in 2010. The win keeps The Wagon in Lancaster for the fourth time in the last five seasons, in a series which started in 1889. In addition to the thrilling finish, Fleming was a perfect 3-for-3 in field goal attempts with F&M's other points coming on a pair of touchdown passes from the Ty Tremba and Gary Lewis connection.

George Fox got into the win column for the first time on the season, and did so in a surprising manner, scoring 21 points in the fourth quarter and handing Lewis & Clark its first loss of the season, by a 42-28 score. Brody Snyder ran for 145 yards and two touchdowns, while the Bruins defense limited Dashiell Weaver to 17-for-31 passing for 230 yards, picking him off twice. The story was pretty similar for Bowdoin, as the Polar Bears won their first game of the season, winning at Wesleyan, one of the teams in first place in the NESCAC entering the day. It's the Polar Bears' first win in Middletown, Connecticut, since 2008. Soren Hummel finished 19-31 for 211 yards and three touchdowns for Bowdoin, with Michael Wolfendale catching four passes for 117 yards and a score. Ferris Collins had two fourth-quarter interceptions to help seal the win.

Trailing 31-21 entering the fourth quarter, Muskingum engineered two decisive touchdown drives, including a 99-yard game-winning drive in the final two minutes as the Muskies defeated Marietta and took back the Shriner Trophy. The trophy started in 2009 and Marietta has won it eight of the 17 times. Garrett Gurney passed for 390 yards and three touchdowns while adding two scores on the ground. Muskingum improved to 3-3 overall, while Marietta fell to 3-3.

Redlands limited Pomona-Pitzer to 179 yards of total offense and held the ball for more than 38 minutes as the Bulldogs defeated the Sagehens 16-14 in a defensive battle under the lights in Redlands, California. The Bulldogs (4-2, 2-2 SCIAC) scored all of their points in the first half, the capper coming with Tobey Schmidt found Kev Markossian for a 46-yard touchdown pass with 25 seconds left in the second quarter. The Sagehens (3-3, 2-2) got on the board in the third quarter after Zachar Leblanc forced a Bulldogs fumble on their own 2-yard line and scored three plays later on a short TD pass from Nick Kim. Kim also completed a two-point conversion pass to make it 16-8. One quarter later, Alexander Rustay intercepted a pass deep in Redlands territory and returned it to the 1. Luke Levitt ran it in for a TD on the next play with 7:56, but the two-point conversion failed, and P-P never got across midfield the rest of the day.

Isaac LaFay's hit on Ohio Wesleyan's Mysaun Sanders at Wooster's 2-yard line knocked the football out, then Brandon Torres fell on the fumble in the end zone to deny the Battling Bishops a go-ahead score in the final seconds of the Fighting Scots' 24-20 win. Ohio Wesleyan (1-5, 0-4 NCAC) took over on its 15-yard line with 1:27 remaining, needing a touchdown for the go-ahead score. The Bishops' hurry-up offense was working, as five plays had Ohio Wesleyan on Wooster's (4-3, 3-2 NCAC) 24-yard line. Sanders took a handoff on the next play, went around the right tackle, and bounced off a couple Wooster defenders before a hit from LaFay at the two put the football on the turf. Torres recovered in the end zone for a touchback, and Wooster took a knee from the 20 for the victory.

Some games on Saturday were delayed by lightning, but the Illinois Wesleyan-Millikin game was moved up to 10:30 a.m. local time in Decatur, Illinois, to avoid weather, and IWU came to play at that early time. The Titans scored 35 points in the first half and then added 14 in the final 8 minutes of the game to put it away, winning 49-27. The Titans (3-3, 3-2 CCIW) moved the ball seemingly at will in the first half, racing out to a 35-0 lead with 1:31 left to play in the second quarter. The Big Blue (2-4, 1-4) got on the scoreboard before the break and then proceeded to score the first 20 points of the second half to make things interesting in the fourth quarter.
