Bradford surpassed the NCAA rookie record of 29 touchdowns by tossing his 30th to Joe Jon Finley during the second quarter of the game against the Oklahoma State Cowboys. Bradford passed for 209 yards and no picks against the Missouri Tigers. He was 18-26 with two touchdown passes. The previous record was set by Doug Flutie in 1995 when he threw 31 touchdowns to go with 2,051 yards during his final season at Boston College. Flutie went on to play seven more seasons in the NFL after graduating from BC. Bradford's current career high is 33 touchdowns thrown, which he reached twice earlier this year. The first time was against the New York Giants in a 41-27 Minnesota win on September 24. He also threw for three scores against the Washington Redskins in a 42-24 Minnesota victory on October 7. In addition to his accomplishments as a quarterback, Bradford has four touchdowns scored this season by himself. Three of those came in a span of three games against Oregon State, Kansas State, and Missouri. The other was a 75-yard interception return for a touchdown against the New York Giants. Bradford was selected by Minnesota fans as the winner of the Paul Bunyan Trophy as best player in the state over defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd and running back Justin Henderson.
