Miami Hurricanes quarterback, Cam Ward, came up just short in winning the Heisman Trophy, as he was invited to the ceremony in New York as a finalist and placed fourth to winner Travis Hunter. However, Ward can lay claim to something that neither Hunter nor anyone else in the history of college football can claim, and that’s college football’s all-time touchdowns mark.

Ward made NCAA history on Saturday as he threw his 156th career touchdown pass, breaking the Division I—which includes both FBS and FCS—record of 155, formerly held by Houston’s Case Keenum. Ward tied Keenum’s mark in his last game, a 42–38 loss to Syracuse, and that defeat kept Miami out of the ACC Championship Game, which ultimately led to the Canes missing out on the College Football Playoff.
