Terrific stuff, as always!

Can someone please break this down as my head is spinning on what is correct, what is not? It doesn't add up:

"Willis and the record books: Redshirt freshman quarterback Justin Willis has thrown 19 touchdown passes this season, already establishing a new standard for freshman SMU quarterbacks. With two more scoring passes, Willis will tie Chuck Hixson's school record of 22. Willis, backup quarterback Corey Slater and wide receiver Zack Sledge have combined to throw 22 touchdown passes this season, which ties the 1990 Mustangs for the most touchdown passes in school history."

~ Wouldn't Willis neeed 3 TDs to tie Hixson?
~ Wouldn't 22 tie the 1990 total as well as the Hixson-lead squad?

Dammit -- someone who can count.

Hixson's school record for TD passes by a single player is 21.
The team record (multiple QBs) is 22.

Good catch, SmooBoy.

Good, thorough story, just as we've come to expect.
Keep up the good work.
