  2022 WAC OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR: Xavier Gipson, Sr., WR, Stephen F. Austin,...Gipson, a senior wide receiver, was the first repeat winner of the offensive player of the year award in the WAC since Boise State's Kellen Moore in 2009-10. Gipson became just the eighth player in league history to win top offensive player honors back-to-back, joining BYU's Virgil Carter (1965-66), Jim McMahon (1980-81), Steve Young (1982-83) and Ty Detmer (1990-91), TCU's LaDainian Tomlinson (1999-00), Hawai'i's Colt Brennan (2006-07) and Moore. Gipson led the WAC with 1,486 all-purpose yards, which included a conference-high 276 punt return yards and added 1,163 receiving yards to rank second in the league. Gipson's nine total touchdowns (seven receiving, two punt returns) were tied for third among all WAC players. - Western Athletic Conference Football

  NOV 14 SOUTHLAND DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Eli Ennis, Nicholls - LB - Fr. - Ohatchee, Ala. (Ohatchee HS),...Ennis earns defensive player of the week honors for the second time this season after recording eight tackles, one pass break up, four quarterback hurries and the game-winning sack for a safety in the victory over A&M-Commerce. With the game tied in the fourth quarter, Ennis blitzed and forced the Lion quarterback to run out of the back of the end zone for a 12-10 Colonel lead. Nicholls held on to the victory as Ennis and the defense allowed less than 300 yards of total offense.

  NOV 14 FEDEX GROUND FCS NATIONAL FRESHMAN OF THE WEEK: Eli Ennis, Nicholls, OLB, Fr., 6-2, 205, Ohatchee, Alabama,...Ennis helped Nicholls pitch a shutout over the final three quarters of a 12-10 win against Texas A&M-Commerce in the Southland. With the game tied in the fourth quarter, he pressured the Lions quarterback out of the back of the end zone for a decisive safety. Considered a sack, it was Ennis' biggest play, but he also finished with eight tackles, including four solos, four QB hurries and a pass breakup. Honorable Mention: Riley Callaghan, PK, Southeastern Louisiana; Rex Connors, DB, UC Davis; Josh Cuevas, TE, Cal Poly; Cameron Dyson, LB, Howard; Shane Hamm, QB, Dayton; Censere Lee, WR, Western Carolina; Gevani McCoy, QB, Idaho; Fred Perry, S, Jacksonville State; Sam Phillips, WR, Chattanooga; Joshua Pitsenberger, RB, Yale; Noah Walters, QB, North Alabama. - STATS FCS Football

  Eli Ennis chased Texas A&M-Commerce quarterback Jaiave Magalei out of the back of the end zone midway through the fourth quarter and the resulting safety proved to be the difference in Nicholls' 12-10 win over the Lions on Saturday. Texas A&M-Commerce took a 10-0 lead in the first quarter, then could not reach the end zone the rest of the way. Gavin Lasseigne converted a 32-yard field goal to get the Colonels on the board and cut the deficit to 10-3 at intermission. Al'Dontre Davis came down with Kohen Granier's 25-yard jump ball in the end zone to tie the game at 10 to start the second half. Nicholls (3-7, 3-2 Southland) pinned the Lions (5-5, 3-3) deep after a punt, and on third and 11 the Nicholls pass rush burst through the line and Ennis led a chase party that forced Magalei to step across the end line. Granier was 18 of 32 for 168 yards but was intercepted twice. Julien Gums had the fourth 100-yard rushing game of the season and the 15th of his career, picking up 124 yards on 21 carries. The Lions got 179 yards from three passers and managed just 67 yards on the ground. - AP College Football

  OCT 31 BIG 12 NEWCOMER OF THE WEEK: Richard Reese, BU, RB, Fr.,...Reese was once again a workhorse for the Bears in their 45-17 win at Texas Tech. He topped his career high with 36 carries, after setting his previous best just one week ago with 31 vs. Kansas, and ran for 148 yards and three TDs. It was Reese's third 100-plus yard game of the season and fourth multi-TD effort. He has 12 rushing touchdowns in 2022, which already ranks tied for seventh in a single season in program history. That mark is also good for seventh nationally. Since 2014, only one other Bear has rushed for as many TDs as Reese (Abram Smith, 12 in 2021). He now sits just 90 yards shy of BU's freshman rushing record. Reese is second nationally among all freshmen in rushing yards (791) and rushing TDs (12). - Big 12 Football

  Freshman Richard Reese ran for 148 yards and three touchdowns, AJ McCarty returned an interception for a score and Baylor beat Texas Tech 45-17 on Saturday night. Second among NCAA freshmen in yards rushing coming in, Reese had 53 of the 75 yards on a drive to his tiebreaking 1-yard TD in the second quarter as Baylor (5-3, 3-2 Big 12) dominated time of possession. Baylor ended a 10-game losing streak in Lubbock while handing Texas Tech (4-4, 2-3) its first home loss under coach Joey McGuire, the lifelong Texan who was a Baylor assistant the past five seasons. On a night Texas Tech celebrated star Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes as its eighth ring of honor member, the Red Raiders ended up throwing five interceptions while trying all of their top three QBs.

Tyler Shough entered trailing 31-17 in the fourth quarter for the first time since injuring his shoulder as the opening day starter, and McCarty stepped in front of his first pass and ran untouched 18 yards down the sideline. Freshman Behren Morton was 4 of 17 with two interceptions and three sacks after a pick in the first minute of the second half set up Blake Shapen's 9-yard TD pass to Hal Presley for a 24-3 Baylor lead. Morton responded with two touchdowns, including his 8-yard run on fourth-and-7 to get Texas Tech within 24-17 after a fumble by Reese. The Red Raiders were up to four interceptions — three from Morton and another from Donovan Smith on one of his two passes when McGuire turned to Shough, who the coach said would be available next week. Reese's third TD was a 1-yard plunge to cap an 11-play, 75-yard drive after the Red Raiders had pulled within seven. Morton finished 11 of 33 for 152 yards and three interceptions. Shapen was much more efficient, going 19 of 30 for 211 yards with a TD and no interceptions. - Baylor/AP College Football

  OCT 24 SOUTHLAND DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Eli Ennis, Nicholls - LB - Fr. - Ohatchee, Ala. (Ohatchee HS),...Ennis had a game-high 11 tackles and none bigger than his stop on 4th-and-1 to ultimately secure the win for the Colonels. Ennis started his day by blowing up a toss in the backfield for a forced fumble, then added his first career sack. With the Colonels nursing a five-point lead late in the game, Ennis was able to stop the Southland's leading rusher Deonta McMahon for no gain on the fourth-down try. He finished the day with 2.0 TFLs and a quarterback hurry. Honorable Mention: Herman Christophe, Southeastern. - Southland Football

Self threw three straight touchdown passes, two to Xavier Gipson from 24- and 54-yards out, in the third quarter to take a 29-15 lead. Isaiah Wooden ran for a touchdown and caught a 76-yard strike from Justin Miller to help the Thunderbirds take a 32-28 lead in the third quarter. Braedon Wissler scored from 27-yards out to give Southern Utah a 38-34 lead with under eight minutes to play. Self finished with 298 yards and three touchdowns with an interception for Stephen F. Austin (5-3, 2-1 Western Athletic Conference). Miller threw for 297 yards and three touchdowns for Southern Utah (3-5, 1-3). - AP College Football

  True freshman Richard Reese ran for 186 yards and two touchdowns, including a late game-clincher as the Baylor Bears held on to beat Kansas 35-23 on Saturday for their first victory in nearly a month. Baylor (4-3, 2-2 Big 12) jumped out to a 14-0 lead less than five minutes into the game matching former Top 25 teams that had both lost their previous two games, and led 28-3 at halftime. The Jayhawks (5-3, 2-3) got within 28-23 when quarterback Jason Bean scrambled 4 yards for a touchdown with 6 1/2 minutes left. That ended a 93-yard drive after Baylor was stopped on fourth-and-1, and included completions of 29 and 47 yards by Bean. On the ensuing Baylor drive, Reese had a 14-yard catch and a 37-yard run before his 2-yard TD run with 2 1/2 minutes left on the last of his 31 carries.

Kansas is still without standout quarterback Jalon Daniels, who missed his second game in a row since injuring his right (throwing) shoulder after being hit late in the first half of a loss to TCU on Oct. 8. Bean was 16 of 27 for 232 yards and a touchdown. Bears quarterback Blake Shapen left in the third quarter of their loss at West Virginia nine days earlier after taking a helmet-to-helmet hit. He was 17-of-26 passing for 164 yards with a touchdown Saturday. But he had three turnovers, two interceptions and a fumble. Shapen had only three interceptions in the first six games, but his two picks included one inside the Jayhawks 5 with only 2 seconds left in the first half. He fumbled in the third quarter when being sacked by defensive end Jereme Robinson, who picked up the ball and returned it 49 yards to set up Devin Neal's 2-yard TD run. The Bears were ranked 17th after a win at Iowa State on Sept. 24, but had since lost 36-25 at home Oklahoma State on Oct. 1, then had an open date before the Thursday night game at West Virginia. Kansas dropped out of the poll from 19th this week after its back-to-back losses to TCU and Oklahoma. - Baylor/AP College Football

Campos made all five of his PAT attempts and both of his field goals, connecting from 22 yards in the second quarter before nailing a 51-yard attempt as time expired for the walk-off win. Campos has made 10-of-11 field goal attempts (90.9 percent) and all 26 of his PATs thus far in 2022. - WAC Football
