As Oregon Ducks’ wide receiver Troy Franklin continues to put up numbers, records are starting to fall in Eugene.
Earlier this week, we covered all of the school records that could be broken this season for the Ducks, and Franklin was among the leading candidates to get his name in the history books under several categories. That started on Saturday in the game against the Arizona State Sun Devils.
In the second quarter, Franklin officially passed the mark of 91 receiving yards, making it so he now has the most single-season receiving yards in Oregon history. The previous record was held by Dillon Mitchell, who had 1,184 yards in 2018 with Justin Herbert as his quarterback.
With a pair of touchdowns in the first half, Franklin also broke the single-season receiving touchdown record for Oregon, passing both Josh Huff and Jeff Maehl, who had 12.
Franklin also tied the career-receiving TD record at 24 with his second TD of the day.
