WSU 48, UMary 38 | MDU Resources Community Bowl

And for his next trick...

Winona State's Jake Balliu might be the most versatile offensive player in the NSIC. He is one of the Warriors' leading receivers, a kick return phenom, and added potential QB to his resume on Saturday with 28-yard TD pass on a trick play to Ethan Wittenburg.

WINONA STATE FOOTBALL On the cusp

Quarterback Owen Burke is at brink of moving up several Warrior signal caller records; with 5,993 total yards, he is poised to break the 6,000 mark and surpass Jason Mitchell, currently fifth all-time at 6,027 yards. On the cusp, too

Burke is also within striking distance of the Winona State top-five in passes attempted; he currently is at 794, while Jake Goettl (1995-98) is fifth all-time for Winona State at 882. Burke's best #'s

Burke's best season for passing yards currently was 2018, when he threw for 2,448. He is more than halfway there this season with just five games played, notching 1,258 yards already in 2021. More than a passing grade

More Burke...the Colorado QB is at 443 passes completed in his career, Burke is two away from top-five, with Drew Abner's (2005-07) 445 well within reach. Nifty Fifty

Burke has 49 TD passes in his career; after passing 50, the next benchmark is Abner at 58, fourth all-time. Second in Three Pointers

WSU's six field goals on the season, all by Jacob Scott, is tied for second most in the league. Northern State has seven to lead the NSIC. ...and all the kids are above average

Winona State is fourth in the NSIC in average yards per carry at 4.6, just barely behind Sioux Falls at 4.7. An even dirty dozen

The Warriors have 12 sacks on the year so far, tied for fifth with MSUMankato and just one behind Northern State with 13. Winona State Football - Visit www.WINONASTATEWARRIORS.COM for more information
