In the win at South Florida, the largest margin of victory by an FCS team over a then-BCS opponent in NCAA history, Bolfing completed all four of his passes for 37 yards.
He got the start against Nebraska and completed 9 of 17 passes for 101 yards.
At Montgomery HS, he earned first team all-district honors as a senior and was named to the Texas Sports Writers Association honorable mention team. During his high school career, Bolfing accumulated 4,561 passing yards, 57 touchdowns, and completed 57 percent of his passes.
