  OCT 31 MISSOURI VALLEY OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: QB Nic Baker, Southern Illinois, 5-9, 204, Jr., Rochester, Ill. (Rochester),...Baker completed 34-of-48 passes for a school-record 485 yards and three touchdowns in a game which featured two of the league's most prolific quarterbacks. Baker also rushed five times for 22 yards and led a comeback from an 11-point deficit, in which the Salukis briefly regained the lead, but fell just shy of victory versus Northern Iowa, 37-36. Baker's 507 yards of total offense are tied for the 7th-most in the league's 38-year history and are the third-most in a league game. His 485 passing yards are the 5th-best in Conference history and are the second-highest in a league game. His passing-yard total was the most in the FCS last Saturday and is the third-highest FCS single-game output in 2022. His total offense figure (507) is only two yards shy of the FCS single-game high this season. - Missouri Valley Football

  OCT 17 MISSOURI VALLEY OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: QB Nic Baker, Southern Illinois, 5-9, 204, Jr., Rochester, Ill. (Rochester),...On a day where teammate Javon Williams Jr. had a league season-high four rushing touchdowns, QB Nic Baker set a school record for pass completion percentage, connecting on 25-of-28 passes - 89.3 percent during SIU's 30-7 win over Western Illinois. It is believed the single-game completion percentage is also a league record, and Baker's performance was just shy of setting the FCS all-time record established by Ricky Santos of New Hampshire (96.2; 25 of 26 vs. Northeastern in 2005). Baker completed his first 15 throws (also a school record). He passed for 227 yards with no interceptions. Baker has not thrown an interception in his last 120 passes. - Missouri Valley Football

His runs of 6 and 3 yards in the first quarter gave the Salukis (5-0, 4-2 Missouri Valley Football Conference) a 14-0 lead. His 1-yard plunge with 7:57 left before intermission made it 20-0, and his 5-yard score with 9:24 left in third were the final points of the game. Baker finished 25-of-27 passing. Naseim Brantley caught four passes for 71 yards and scored the Leathernecks' (0-6, 0-3) lone touchdown. - Southern Illinois/AP College Football
