Tyler Boyd breaks school receiving yard record in loss to Notre Dame

Pitt's 42-30 loss to Notre Dame on Saturday was disappointing, but one bright spot was the wide receiver Tyler Boyd getting his hands on another school record.

Late in the game with the result decided, Boyd broke free on what looked to be some miscommunication in the Irish secondary. On the play, he caught a 51-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Nathan Peterman. With a score of 42-23 (extra point pending), the game was out of hand by that point. But Boyd's catch gave him a school-record 3,097 yards. That topped the previous mark of 3,061 by Antonio Bryant.
