ST LOUIS, MO – This week’s Missouri Valley Football Conference Players of the Week include QB Chris Streveler of South Dakota; LB Quentin Moon of Western Illinois; P Brady Schutt of South Dakota; and QB Peyton Huslig of Missouri State.

Offense

QB Chris Streveler, South Dakota Sr., 6-3, 215, Crystal Lake (Ill.) Marian Central Catholic High / Minnesota
Streveler accounted for six touchdowns in one half of play in leading South Dakota to a 77-7 win against Drake Saturday in Des Moines. Streveler completed 17 of 24 passes for 248 yards and five touchdowns. He was also the game’s leading rusher at halftime, carrying 11 times for 53 yards and a touchdown. The 56 points South Dakota scored in the first half were the most since 2005. The Coyote offense scored touchdowns on seven of its eight first-half possessions.

Defense
LB Quentin Moon, Western Illinois Jr., 6-2, 232, Indianapolis (Ind.) Pike

Moon set a career-high making 3.5 tackles for a loss, part of his 10 tackles at Tennessee Tech. Moon recorded an 11-yard sack, forced a fumble and returned it six yards. In the first three quarters, Moon recorded all 10 of his tackles and Tech managed just 89 total yards.

Special Teams
P Brady Schutt, South Dakota R-Fr., 6-1, 205, Orange City (Iowa) MOC/FV HS

Schutt pinned all four of his punts inside the 20 while making his collegiate debut against Drake in Des Moines Saturday. He averaged 38.5 yards while pinning the Bulldogs on their 3-, 14-, 16- and 18-yard lines. Drake threw interceptions, including a pick-six, on two of those four possessions.

Newcomer
QB Peyton Huslig, Missouri State, So., 6-3, 205, Andover (Kan.) Andover Central High / Garden City (Kan.) CC

Huslig completed 24-of-35 passes for 353 yards while accounting for three of Missouri State’s six touchdowns (2 pass/1 rush). He guided the MSU offense to touchdowns in each of its first three possessions, as the Bears converted their first five third-down tries and ran up their best-ever point total (43) against an FBS foe. He added a 10-yard rushing TD in the fourth quarter, and his 353 passing yards mark the most for a Bears quarterback since Ashton Glaser threw for 357 against Murray State on Sept. 15, 2012.
