Bauer went 28-for-49 for 280 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions, along with 31 rushing yards, Saturday against Buffalo.

Scores on ground vs. Notre Dame
Bauer went 10-for-20 for 137 yards, along with 16 rushing yards and a touchdown on the ground, Saturday against Notre Dame.
ANALYSIS

ANALYSIS
Bauer played minimally in Week 2, but he's seemingly slated to play all of the snaps Saturday with Bert Emanuel sidelined by illness. Bauer has completed three of nine passes for 20 yards and has rushed two times for 27 yards so far this season, but he'll face a tough opponent Saturday.

Sees action vs. Michigan State
Bauer went 2-for-8 for nine yards, along with 27 rushing yards, on Friday night against Michigan State.

Bauer fared better as a rusher, having logged 53 carries for 312 yards and four touchdowns.

Nov 14, 2022

Bauer (undisclosed) is expected to be available for Wednesday's game against Western Michigan, Central Michigan play-by-play broadcaster Adam Jaksa reports.
ANALYSIS
Bauer missed Central Michigan's Week 11 matchup versus Buffalo due to an unspecified issue, but it now appears like he'll be able to give it a go when the team hosts Western Michigan on Wednesday. In his last two games played, the versatile quarterback threw for a combined 221 yards and a score, while he also added 218 yards and two more touchdowns on the ground in that span.

Bauer has seen significant action in each of the last two games, and he's topped 100 yards on the ground in both. He is in line to keep seeing solid work over the rest of the season.
Oct 22, 2022
Effective against Bowling Green
Bauer went 18-for-25 for 185 yards with a touchdown and an interception, along with a team-high 109 rushing yards, against Bowling Green on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Bauer took over for an ineffective Daniel Richardson, and led the Chippewas to 15 second half points. Who Central Michigan's starting quarterback will be going forward is now a question.
Sep 24, 2022
Sees action vs. Penn State
Bauer went 3-for-7 for 40 yards on Saturday against Penn State.
ANALYSIS
Starter Daniel Richardson (shoulder/collarbone) left the game, and Bauer finished a 33-14 loss for Central Michigan. If Richardson can't go next week against Toledo, Bauer would presumably start the MAC opener for the Chippewas.
Sep 17, 2022
Sees action vs. Bucknell
Bauer completed one pass for 44 yards while adding 47 rushing yards and two scores on the ground Saturday against Bucknell.
ANALYSIS
Bauer got some action in a 41-0 win for the Chippewas. If a blowout happens the other direction next week against Penn State, he may see some playing time again.
