COLLEGE FOOTBALL: ISU punter earns honors; Engineers get another conference win

Indiana State’s Spencer Conrad dominated on special teams in a 57-24 loss to Youngstown State, earning FCS National Special Teams Player of the Week honors from Stats Perform. Conrad’s eight punts averaged a career-high 55 yards, including three kicks over 60 yards and two pinned inside the 20.

His longest drives—67, 61, and 67 yards—flipped field position repeatedly, keeping the Sycamores competitive against the ninth-ranked Penguins. The junior ranks second nationally in punting average at 46.6 yards per attempt and will look to build momentum before ISU’s bye week and Oct.

24 showdown at Illinois State.

Meanwhile, Rose-Hulman’s offense rolled to a 52-21 victory over Anderson in Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference play, maintaining its unbeaten record. Quarterback Brock Zanetell threw for 328 yards and two touchdowns, while Alexander Marsteller rushed for 100 yards and three scores, including a key four-yard TD to open the scoring.

The Engineers’ defense forced a fumble and recorded four sacks, with Wyatt Bell’s interception sealing a commanding lead. Rose-Hulman’s balanced attack—highlighted by Joseph Alexion’s 114 receiving yards and a TD—extended its dominance, outscoring Anderson 28-7 in the first half alone.
