Marshall Quarterback Ties N.C.A.A. Mark in Victory
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESSDEC. 23, 2014

Rakeem Cato capped a record-setting career by tying an N.C.A.A. mark for touchdown passes, throwing for three scores to help Marshall beat Northern Illinois, 52-23, at the inaugural Boca Raton Bowl in Florida on Tuesday night.

Cato extended his streak of throwing at least one touchdown pass to 46 consecutive games. That tied the N.C.A.A. all-division record set by Central Washington’s Mike Reilly.

As usual, Cato’s favorite target was his fellow senior, Tommy Shuler, who had 18 receptions for 185 yards and a score. Shuler broke the Conference USA record for career catches with 322.

Cato increased his season total to a team-record 40 touchdown passes. He threw for scores of 6 yards to Shuler, 11 to Angelo Jean-Louis and 27 to Deon-Tay McManus.
