Darian Mensah, Miami’s quarterback, opened the game against Wake Forest by completing all 20 of his passes in the first half! That electrifying performance absolutely smashed the previous ACC record of 18 completions.
First Half Perfection and Records
Mensah’s flawless first half wasn’t just about completion percentage; he racked up 193 passing yards and tossed two touchdowns. Those two scores pushed his season total to a dazzling 10 touchdowns against just four incompletions. For context, the FBS record for completions to start a game is 26 straight, set by Dominique Davis back in 2011. The all-time NCAA record for a game start is an insane 46, established in 2025 by Western Carolina’s Taron Dickens. This guy is playing at an unreal level!
An Unbroken Streak That Keeps Going
And the perfection isn’t just isolated to this game! Mensah also completed his last 11 passes last week against Florida A&M. You do the math: that brings his current overall streak to a mind-boggling 31 consecutive completions! The NCAA record for overall consecutive completions is 50, also held by the same Taron Dickens. Mensah entered the Wake Forest game already boasting some serious stats, having completed 41 of 45 passes for 653 yards and eight touchdowns on the season.
Mensah is absolutely on fire. Keep your eyes glued to see if he can extend this incredible streak and chase down those all-time NCAA records. This is must-watch football!
