Darian Mensah sets ACC record for most consecutive pass completions in a game.
They all completed their first 18 passes. Not only does he look like the best transfer quarterback this season, he certainly looks like the best quarterback in the entire sport.
In the record-setting performance Saturday night, Mensah connected with seven different receivers. Superstar sophomore receiver Malachi Toney accounted for 11 of those receptions, totaling 113 yards and one touchdown.
Toney, who led the nation in receptions last season, looks well on his way to being so once again this year. “The biggest thing I noticed when watching the film was our communication, whether it involved protection, run blocking or routes.
That was probably the biggest issue that appeared.” $19.99 gets you a FULL year of On3 | Rivals national coverage
