Rashaun Woods Sets TD Reception Record
September 21, 2003 | Cowboy Football
DALLAS (AP) _ Oklahoma State's Rashaun Woods caught seven touchdown passes against Southern Methodist on Saturday night, breaking the Division I record that had stood since 1969.
Woods had five at halftime, then added two in the third quarter _ a 5-yarder that tied the mark set by Tim Delaney of San Diego State against New Mexico State, then an 11-yarder to take sole possession. It made the score 52-6.
Woods had career highs of 13 catches for 232 yards. His best catch was a 49-yarder with two defenders on him that set up the record-breaker. His second and third came despite being interfered with by cornerback Jonas Rutledge, who was burned on most of the scores.
The first five covered 2, 10, 25, 32 and 34 yards. The second, third and fourth came on consecutive Oklahoma State snaps over the first and second quarters.
All seven were thrown by Josh Fields, which tied the Big 12 record for TD passes set last year by Dustin Long of Texas A&M.
Woods, whose previous best was three TD catches, also set the single-game school record for scores of any kind. And his first TD catch gave him the Big 12 and school career record. He's already the school's leader in yards receiving.
