Western Quarter Back Michael Faulds set two CIS records in Saturday's game against the University of Toronto. The 5th year student completed 39 of 52 passes for a personal best of 550 yards in only three quarters. Faulds has accumulated 3,033 yards for a CIS single-season record that surpassed former two-time Hec Crighton winner Tommy Denison's mark of 3,001. In addition, he has become the all-time CIS career passing leader, finishing his five-year career with 10,811 career yards.
Faulds has now entered the history books as the No. 1 college quarterback in Canada – with a career total of 10,811 yards.
"I'd be lying to say (the records) were not on my mind, but right now it's not something I needed to have – I'm more about team success, winning the Yates and then the Vanier," said Faulds, a former Toronto Star high school all-star while at St. Andrew's College. "Sure, I feel great, but I will likely appreciate it more in the years to come."
Western currently sits in third behind Queens and Laurier. So far they have boasted an impressive season, finishing 6-2. The Mustangs are set to take on Guelph this coming Saturday in the OUA Quarter Finals.
