ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- East Carolina quarterback Dominique Davis has set two NCAA records for successive pass completions.
Davis completed his first 26 passes against Navy on Saturday, breaking the single-game record of 23 set by Tee Martin of Tennessee in 1998 and tied by Aaron Rodgers of California in 2004.
East Carolina squeezed past Navy 38-35.
After going 26 for 26 for 251 yards before halftime, Davis' streak ended when he misfired on his first attempt in the third quarter. He finished 40 for 45 for 372 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions.
Davis, a 6-foot-3 senior, completed his final 10 passes last week against Memphis, giving him 36 straight completed passes -- eclipsing the season mark of 26 set by Rodgers in 2004.
Many of Davis' first-half completions were short flares, but nine of those passes resulted in double-digit gains, including a 33-yarder to Webster and a 23-yarder to Andrew Bodenheimer.
Davis entered with a 68.5 percent completion percentage this season, and he has completed at least 30 passes in six of his last nine games. A junior college transfer, Davis threw for 3,967 yards and 37 TDs last season and completed 64.5 percent of his passes.
Despite Davis' performance, the game wasn't decided until Navy's Jon Teague hit the right upright on a 42-yard field goal try as time expired.
