Virginia's Hodges Poised to Rewrite Virginia Records
Virginia quarterback Tom Hodges stands on the verge of major school marks at the University of Virginia. He already surpassed Gary Cuozzo's career yardage and aims to break the season passing yardage record of 1136 yards while pursuing season and career single game totals for attempts and completions. Hodges, a senior from Alexandria, has 1057 passing yards and 81 of 143 completions entering the seventh game against N.C. State, with potential to reach or exceed Cuozzo's 180 of 377 career marks and Dudley's 1941 total offense record of 1824 yards. He averages near 190 yards per week and may add more as the season continues.
