In an action-packed Week 1 of college football, several players made headlines with their remarkable performances, shattering records along the way. From explosive receiving yards to dominant rushing displays, these players showcased their exceptional skills and left fans in awe.

Leading the charge was Arizona Wildcats' wide receiver, McMillan, who etched his name in the school record books. Standing at an imposing 6-foot-5 and weighing 212 pounds, McMillan was unstoppable against New Mexico, amassing an impressive 304 receiving yards - setting a new school record. Not only that, but he also equaled the record for most touchdown catches in a game with four. The last time such a remarkable feat occurred in the Bowl Subdivision was during the 2022 Rose Bowl when Ohio State's Jaxon Smith-Njigba amassed 347 yards against Utah.

McMillan's performance was breathtaking, averaging an astonishing 30.4 yards on his 10 catches. By the third quarter, he had already surpassed the previous school record of 283 yards set by Jeremy McDaniel in 1996. It was also his fifth consecutive 100-yard receiving game and the eighth of his career. His touchdown catches of 69, 17, 78, and 40 yards displayed his versatility and playmaking abilities.

Another standout performance came from Boise State's Ashton Jeanty, who rewrote the school's rushing records with a sensational display against Georgia Southern. The third-year player from Jacksonville, Florida, bulldozed his way to 267 rushing yards, and with six touchdowns, he tied the Mountain West Conference record. Jeanty's heroic effort marked the most rushing touchdowns in a game since Pittsburgh's Israel Abanikanda accomplished the same feat in 2022 against Virginia Tech.

Jeanty's explosive runs included a career-long 77-yard touchdown, showcasing his speed and elusiveness. His touchdown runs of 26, 1, 5, and 75 yards proved pivotal, as the Broncos secured a thrilling 56-45 victory.

Week 1 also witnessed a remarkable drive by North Dakota, as they churned out 23 plays - the most in an FBS game since 2014. Despite their efforts, the Fighting Hawks had to settle for a 26-yard field goal in their 21-3 loss to Iowa State. Purdue's Hudson Card demonstrated accuracy, tying the FBS record for completion percentage by completing 96% of his passes for 273 yards and four touchdowns in a dominant 49-0 win over Indiana State.

Not to be outdone, Mississippi racked up a staggering 772 total yards - the most in a Division I game since UCF's record-breaking performance in 2020. Their 76-0 rout of FCS team Furman showcased their offensive prowess.

In terms of defensive highlights, two players made history with 100-yard interception returns. Washington State's Stephen Hall's pick-6 against Portland State and Tulane's Rayshawn Pleasant's interception return against Southeastern Louisiana mirrored the impressive feat achieved last season.

Bowling Green's Justin Pegues made an instant impact, returning the opening kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown in their 41-17 win over Fordham. Lastly, Missouri's dominant defensive performance saw them become the only team in Week 1 to not allow a scrimmage play of 10 yards or longer.

All in all, Week 1 of college football brought forth a multitude of record-breaking performances that captivated fans across the nation. From record-setting receiving yards to historical rushing displays, these players showcased the immense talent and excitement that college football has to offer.
