WEEK 6 MISSOURI VALLEY FOOTBALL OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: QB Jerry Kaminski, North Dakota, So., Sun Prairie, Wis.,...Kaminski was an impressive 20-for-23 passing for 246 yards and four scores in UND's 35-7 win at UNI.

He finished the game with completions to 10 different receivers (including himself) and had passing touchdowns to four different players. Kaminski also recorded five rushes for 35 yards. The win marked NoDak's first win in the UNI-Dome since a 35-31 thriller on Sept. 9, 2006. It also ended an eight-game winless skid on the road for the Fighting Hawks, which dated back to Nov. 4, 2023 (W, 45-31 at Murray State) and was the largest margin of victory for UND in an away game since the 42-7 victory at Indiana State on Nov. 5, 2022. - Missouri Valley Football

10/09/25 - CB Elias Archie, Sr/2026, Brown + More +

OCT 6 IVY LEAGUE DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Elias Archie, Brown,...Archie had a hand in three of Brown's four takeaways in the Bears' first Governor's Cup victory since 2017. On the opening drive of the game, Archie picked off a pass and returned it 13 yards to the 10-yard line, which set up a Brown touchdown two plays later for the early 7-0 lead less than two minutes into the game. Early in the third quarter, Archie forced a URI fumble at the one-yard line, which rolled through the end zone for a touchback, taking what would have been a touchdown off the board and preserving Brown's seven-point lead at the time. The Bears then went back up the field and stuck the ball in the end zone to push their lead to 28-14.

Early in the fourth quarter, Archie jumped on top of a fumble near midfield for another key takeaway that killed a Rhody drive. In total, he finished the night with 4.0 tackles, one fumble recovery, one forced fumble and one interception. The victory was Brown's first win over a ranked opponent since 2009 when it defeated No. 19/20 Holy Cross in 2009, and the first win over a top 10 opponent since 1981, when it defeated No. 10 URI in the first-ever Governor's Cup battle. - Brown Football
