Former Michigan quarterback Ren Hefley made NCAA history in his Presbyterian debut Saturday, passing for 10 touchdowns in an 84-43 victory over St. Andrews.
As a team, the Blue Hose passed for 12 total touchdowns with backup Tyler Huff throwing two more scores late in the game.

The transfer finished 38-of-50 with 538 yards. Here's a look at how each of his 10 touchdowns came about:
