"NORFOLK, Va. --  Taylor Heinicke threw for a Division I-record 730 yards on Saturday as Old Dominion rallied to beat New Hampshire 64-61 in the Colonial Athletic Association opener for both teams.

Heinicke set school records for completions (55), attempts (79), and passing yards (730) as New Hampshire (2-2), an FCS school, dominated the CAA's top-ranked defense throughout the first three quarters, taking a 54-38 lead into the fourth.

Former Houston quarterback David Klingler held the previous D-I record, throwing for 716 yards against Arizona State on Dec. 2, 1990.

The former FCS record was held by Weber State's Jamie Martin, who threw for 624 yards against Idaho State in 1991.

Division I includes both FBS and FCS schools.

Heinicke, though, is no Sam Durley.

Durley, of Division III Eureka (Ill.) College, set the NCAA single-game mark with 736 passing yards in his team's 62-55 come-from-behind win against Knox earlier this year.

How good was Heinicke?

According to ESPN Stats and Information, nine FBS teams (including reclassifiers) had played at least twice entering Saturday and still had not racked up Heinicke's 730 yards: Tulane, Massachusetts, Southern Miss, Temple, Hawaii, Kent State, Navy, Texas State and UAB.

On Saturday, Heinicke threw five touchdown passes, including two to Nick Mayers, and Angus Harperscored on a 2-yard run, capping a 23-0 scoring run for the Monarchs. Mayers hauled in 12 passes for 271 yards.

The Wildcats rallied, tying the game at 61-61 behind a 45-yard pass from Andy Vailas, but Heinicke led the Monarchs on an 11-play, 74-yard drive that ended with Jared Brown's game-winning 25-yard field goal.

Old Dominion (3-0) has outscored opponents 132-24 in the second half this season.

Heinicke, a sophomore from Atlanta, has thrown for 1,921 and 19 touchdowns for Old Dominion (4-0).

Vailas led New Hampshire with five passing touchdowns.

Information from The Associated Press was used in this report."

The Charlotte Observer's Joe Person confirmed Taylor Heinicke will start the Panthers' final two games at quarterback with Cam Newton (shoulder) done for the year.

The Panthers have dropped six straight to tumble to 6-8 and are essentially out of the playoff mix barring a complete miracle. Newton isn't healthy and hasn't been for weeks. Heinicke has never started an NFL game but will now. He's 3-of-5 passing for 56 yards in his career. Heinicke is a small-ish 6'1/210 product of Old Dominion where he reset the record books. He tested extremely well athletically in 2015 coming out of college with a 4.60/4.63 forty and explosive 10-foot-3 broad jump. Heinicke gets a terrible Falcons defense at home in Week 16 and a road date in the Superdome for Week 17 against a Saints team that could be resting starters by then. Heinicke is the stone minimum $6,000 on FanDuel this week.

It was pretty cool at the time because we were just a FCS school at the time and it made national news. We ran an air raid at ODU and we didn't have anything at RB that year. The guy's a beast at leading his receivers open and has a great vision of the field.
