Turner's largest offensive effort came in a 42-37 victory over Dordt College on Oct. 8 after passing for 402 yards and three touchdowns, while tallying 204 yards on the ground and a score ... He passed Jon Bane in the DWU record books for passing yards in a season with 3,197 set in 2011 ... Turner sits 1,920 yards shy of the career passing record, also set by Jon Bane from 2010-13 ... He helped the Tigers secure two more records during the 2016 season ... Turner and Co. broke the record for total offensive yards in a season with 5,694, almost 1,000 more yards than the record of 4,547 set in 2013 ...
