James Conner added another chapter to his storybook season on Saturday as the Pitt running back set an ACC record for touchdowns.

The Panthers were prepared for the record-breaking moment, quickly posting a tweet that featured all 53 of the Touchdown Time Machine's scores.

Conner, of course, has beaten cancer and has rushed for more than 800 yards this season. On Saturday against Duke, he had 14 carries for 101 yards and 2 TDs in a 56-14 waltz.

What a person. What a player.
James Conner.
ACC Record Breaker.
