TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Jacquay Nunnally had just broken Jerry Rice’s NCAA Division I career receptions record a few hours earlier, but by this point, he was only focused on completing a pass.
Back at Florida A&M’s team hotel in Baton Rouge, La., Nunnally’s historic feat was still settling into reality. No one in the history of NCAA college football had amassed more catches than the 5-11, stocky Rattlers’ receiver who was built more like a rugged running back.
Now not even Nunnally’s hero, Rice.
It was the second Saturday in November of the 2000 football season.
