Alabama's Bryce Young breaks school's single-game passing record

Alabama quarterback Bryce Young on Saturday broke the school's single-game passing record, which had stood for more than half a century.

Young set the record at 488 yards when he connected with Slade Bolden for a 27-yard reception early in the fourth quarter of Saturday's game against Arkansas.

The previous mark was held by Scott Hunter, who threw for 484 yards against Auburn in 1969.

Young, a sophomore, is in his first season as a starter. Entering the weekend, the California native had thrown for 3,025 yards, 33 touchdowns and three interceptions.
