A week after being benched, Luke Falk set the Pac-12 Conference career passing record on Saturday afternoon in Pullman.

Washington State University’s senior quarterback set the record on an 8-yard completion to Jamal Morrow in the second quarter.

At the end of the drive — which ended with a 27-yard pass touchdown pass to Renard Bell that gave WSU a 14-7 lead — Falk had 13,632 career yards. The previous record was set by former-Oregon State quarterback Sean Mannion, who threw for 13,600 career yards. Falk entered the game 136 yards behind Mannion, a Los Angeles Ram backup who graduated who finished his college career in 2014.
