Runs for TD vs. Minnesota Mayer completed two of three passes for 36 yards, while adding seven rushing yards and a touchdown, against Minnesota on Saturday.

Impact After starting the season opener, Mayer gave way to a healthy Brett Gabbert but sparked the RedHawks' offense some when he got in. Next week against LIU should bring more snaps for him.

Struggles vs. Cincinnati Mayer went 9-for-28 for 109 yards, along with 12 rushing yards, against Cincinnati on Saturday.

Impact Mayer surprisingly got the start under center over Brett Gabbert, and predictably struggled against a good opponent. Unless he's injured and that's to be unveiled this coming week, Gabbert should get the start next week against Minnesota.

Surprise starter for Redhawks Mayer is starting Saturday's opener against Cincinnati, Justin Williams of The Athletic reports.

Impact While Mayer and Brett Gabbert were reportedly in a "1A and 1B" situation under center, it appears Mayer will be given the first look under center when it was expected Gabbert would. It's still quite possible the two will split snaps under center.

QB-1B for the RedHawks? While Brett Gabbert is the likely starter over Mayer, the RedHawks have "more of a 1A and 1B" situation at quarterback according to Lukas Nelson of The Miami Student.

Impact Gabbert and Mayer both saw action last season, but Gabbert also missed time with a concussion. Gabbert is lined up for a breakout season in 2021, with Mayer as the capable backup who can step in if needed.
