College football bowl season has seen quite a few players make FBS history. Bowling Green tight end Harold Fannin Jr. was one of them as he set a pair of records in the Thursday victory at the 68 Ventures Bowl.

On Saturday, another FBS record was set, this time in the Radiance Technologies Independence Bowl between Louisiana Tech and Army.

Army took care of business easily, 27-6, and Black Knights quarterback Bryson Daily became the FBS leader in rushing touchdowns with his 32nd of the season. He broke the record that Navy QB Keenan Reynolds set in 2013.

Daily capped off an unreal season with 27 carries for 127 yards and three touchdowns in the Independence Bowl victory.

The Black Knights quarterback's 2024 numbers are impressive. After Saturday's win, he had 1,659 rushing yards and 32 touchdowns.

Entering Saturday, Daily had 942 yards passing with nine touchdowns, and he went just 2-of-9 through the air for 65 yards in the blowout win over Louisiana Tech.

Army capped off a magnificent season by finishing with an 8-1 AAC conference record and a 12-2 overall record, with the only losses coming against Notre Dame and Navy, so the season ended on a high note for the Black Knights.
