Allen Lazard’s historical Saturday in Waco was rightfully overshadowed by the team’s seventh win of the season – a 23-13 defeat of the Bears.
However, we need to give No. 5 his fair share of props here on the front page of Cyclone Fanatic.
In Lazard’s first quarter 33-yard touchdown grab, he surpassed Todd Blythe’s previous school record of 3,096 yards (from 2004-2007). Lazard, who has 704 yards and nine touchdowns this season, now has a total of 3,123 yards in his career.
Lazard also tied the school’s record for touchdown receptions in a season, at nine.
Here’s a look at some of the Twitter reaction from Lazard’s historical day, starting with the guy whose record he broke.
Congrats to the big man @AllenLazard on becoming the Career Leader in receiving yards at ISU!
