With two conference games remaining in his career, McMaster kicker
Tyler Crapigna, who already holds the all-time OUA record of 79
field goals, needs four more to break the CIS standard of 82 set by
former Sherbrooke standout William Dion (2008-2012). The Marauders
host Laurier Saturday at 1 p.m.
Laval’s Boris Bede and Calgary’s Johnny Mark, both in
their fourth year of eligibility, are tied for 11th place on the

CAREER TOUCHDOWN
PASSES
While he should not threaten the CIS career record of 87 touchdown
passes held by Saint Mary’s legend Chris Flynn (1987-1990),
fifth-year Windsor quarterback Austin Kennedy has a good shot at
the OUA mark of 79 set by Ottawa’s Josh Sacobie (2004-2008),
which is also the second-highest tally in CIS history. With two
conference games left in his career, Kennedy currently ranks fifth
on the CIS list with 75.
87 Chris Flynn, Saint Mary’s (1987-90)
79 Josh Sacobie, Ottawa (2004-08)
77 Danny Brannagan, Queen’s (2005-09)
76 Teale Orban, Regina (2004-08)
75 Austin Kennedy, Windsor (2010-present)
CAREER PASSING
YARDS
Kennedy could also become the fourth pivot in CIS history to reach
the 10,000-yard plateau by the end of league play. He is currently
eighth on the all-time list with 9,414 yards through the air in his
university career.
10811 Michael Faulds, Western (2005-09)
10714 Dan Brannagan, Queen’s (2005-09)

with 668 career completions. Fourth-year Sherbrooke quarterback

659 Jérémi Roch, Sherbrooke

SINGLE-SEASON
RUSHING YARDS
With two games left on Laurier’s regular season schedule,
Golden Hawks running back Dillon Campbell ranks 37th on the
all-time CIS list for most rushing yards in a single campaign, with
1,132. While the CIS and OUA record of 1,816 yards set in 2004 by
McMaster’s Jesse Lumsden seems out of reach, Campbell should
easily crack the CIS top 10 (1,329 yards) by the time conference
play is over and, given his average of 189 yards per contest so far
this fall, has a very realistic shot at the top five (1,464).
1816 Jesse Lumsden, McMaster (2004)
1619 Éric Lapointe, Mount Allison (1996)
1515 Éric Lapointe, Mount Allison (1998)
