Throws TD Baker went 3-for-8 for 46 yards and a touchdown and ran six times for 13 yards Saturday against LSU.

Impact Baker got into the game in the fourth quarter after Trey Kukuk got his second start. Kukuk wasn't terrible, though, especially for a game all but inked in as a loss before the first snap. What is notable, though, is that it was Baker, not Evan Bullock, who got playing time.

Throws INT, runs for TD Baker went 6-for-10 for 107 yards and an interception against Tulsa on Saturday. He ran for a touchdown, but finished with negative rushing yards.

Impact Three quarterbacks played for the Bulldogs. Jack Turner seems unlikely to remain the top guy, but both Baker and Evan Bullock provided touchdowns in the fourth quarter to stage a comeback that fell short in overtime.
