Miami's Cam Ward sets NCAA D-I record with 156th TD pass

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Cam Ward made NCAA history in his final college game.

The Miami Hurricanes quarterback threw a record-setting 156th touchdown pass of his college career Saturday, connecting with Jacolby George for a 4-yard score with 4:12 left in the first quarter of the Pop-Tarts Bowl.

That's the Division I -- FBS and FCS -- record, one more than Houston's Case Keenum threw from 2007 through 2011.

Ward finished with three touchdown passes in the first half, pushing his total to 158. Emory Williams started and played the second half for Miami, which went on to lose 42-41 to Iowa State.
