Scores in Saturday's win Hunter recorded five receptions (on six targets) for 73 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 42-17 victory against Northern Illinois.

Impact After a slow start to the season, Hunter finally got going in Saturday's win. He reeled in a 38-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter, his first of the season, and was second on the team in receiving yards with 73.
