The​ ​record​ ​breaking​ ​play​ ​came​ ​for​ ​Briscoe,​ ​as​ ​he​ ​connected​ ​with​ ​Coree​ ​Compton​ ​on​ ​a​ ​57​ ​yard strike​ ​down​ ​the​ ​right​ ​sideline​ ​for​ ​his​ ​90th​ ​career​ ​touchdown.​ ​Briscoe​ ​became​ ​the​ ​3rd​ ​overall​ ​in league​ ​history​ ​for​ ​touchdown​ ​passes​ ​on​ ​the​ ​play​ ​as​ ​well,​ ​moving​ ​ahead​ ​of​ ​SFA’s​ ​Brad​ ​Attaway.

“It’s​ ​a​ ​great​ ​feeling​ ​but​ ​I​ ​wouldn’t​ ​be​ ​where​ ​I​ ​am​ ​without​ ​my​ ​offensive​ ​linemen​ ​and​ ​receivers.” Briscoe​ ​said​ ​“These​ ​receivers​ ​make​ ​me​ ​look​ ​good​ ​catching​ ​balls​ ​and​ ​turning​ ​them​ ​into touchdowns.”

Briscoe​ ​left​ ​the​ ​game​ ​early​ ​in​ ​the​ ​third​ ​quarter,​ ​but​ ​not​ ​before​ ​leading​ ​the​ ​Bearkats​ ​to​ ​scoring drives​ ​on​ ​10​ ​of​ ​their​ ​first​ ​12​ ​possessions.​ ​Briscoe​ ​finished​ ​the​ ​game​ ​17-36​ ​passing​ ​for​ ​371 yards​ ​and​ ​4​ ​touchdowns.
