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

Heinicke was 55 for 79, setting school records for completions, attempts and yards. He was two completions short of the Football Championship Subdivision record.

David Klingler of Houston had the Division I record of 716 yards passing against Arizona State on Dec. 2, 1990.

Earlier this season, Sam Durley of Eureka (Ill.) College set the NCAA single-game mark with 736 passing yards in a 62-55 win against Knox in a Division II game.

Heinicke, a sophomore from Atlanta, has thrown for 1,921 and 19 touchdowns for Old Dominion (4-0), which is coached by former UMaine quarterback Bobby Wilder of Madison.

New Hampshire (2-2) dominated the CAA’s top-ranked defense throughout the first three quarters, taking a 54-38 lead into the fourth quarter.

However, Heinicke threw two touchdown passes to Nick Mayers in the fourth quarter and Angus Harper scored on a 2-yard run, giving the Monarchs a 61-54 lead.

Mayers hauled in 12 passes for 271 yards.

The Wildcats tied it on a 45-yard touchdown pass by Andy Vailas, but Heinicke led the Monarchs on an 11-play, 74-yard drive that ended with Jared Brown’s 25-yard field goal.

Old Dominion has outscored opponents 132-24 in the second half this season.

Vailas threw five touchdown passes for New Hampshire.

The teams combined for 1,549 yards, breaking the FCS record of 1,423 set by Murray State and Missouri State in 2010.
