Samford's Devlin Hodges broke Steve McNair's FCS passing record with a 404-yard aerial display during Saturday's 38-27 win over East Tennessee State.ย 

Hodges entered the day in need of 316 yards to top McNair's mark of 14,496 yards, and a seven-yard pass to DeMarcus Ware late in the third quarter sealed the deal for the Bulldogs gunslinger, according to ESPN News Services.ย 

All told, Hodges stands alone as the FCS' most accomplished passer with 14,584 yards.ย 

In addition to the gaudy yardage total, Hodges wrapped up his career inย Homewood, Alabama, with the FCS records for completions (1,310) and attempts (1,896). He also had 111 touchdowns through the air, per ESPN.ย 

Samford finished its 2018 campaign 6-5, including 5-3 in Southern Conference play.ย ย
