Demarcus Lacey - Catches three passes Lacey caught three passes for 37 yards Thursday against Coastal Carolina.

Impact Last year, Lacey was playing at North Alabama. Also, he was a running back. Now a receiver for JSU, it does stand out in a blowout loss that Lacey led the team in receptions and had the third most yards from scrimmage.

Michael Pettway - Catches long TD Pettway had one catch for a 92-yard touchdown Thursday versus Coastal Carolina.

Impact Turning your sole catch into a long score is fairly fluky on paper as is. However, when Pettway scored in the fourth quarter, the Gamecocks were down 48-13. Let's just say the Chanticleers didn't have their foot on the gas at that point.

Tre Stewart - Rushes for TD Stewart ran four times for 62 yards and a touchdown against Coastal Carolina on Thursday, and he added one catch for 17 yards as well.

Impact With Ron Wiggins, JSU's ostensible top back, expected to miss much of the year with a toe injury, the battle for opportunity is open. Anwar Lewis got the most carries, but maybe by dint of breaking off a 38-year touchdown Stewart has earned a shot at a bigger role going forward.

Tyler Huff - Throws TD, two INTs Huff went 7-for-14 for 173 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions against Coastal Carolina on Thursday. He also ran five times for 11 yards.

Impact Huff transferred in from Furman to compete for the starting gig. It seems like a true competition, as Logan Smothers, who saw real action for JSU last year, got roughly the same number of snaps. Neither did well enough to really earn the job outright, though, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the timeshare continue.

Logan Smothers - Doesn't do much in opener Smothers went 7-for-13 for 61 yards against Coastal Carolina on Thursday. He ran eight times for 17 yards but lost a fumble as well.

Impact Smothers and Tyler Huff split the snaps pretty evenly as the Gamecocks look for their new starter. While Smothers should have the advantage, having started a few times last season, he certainly didn't earn the gig in any real way in an opener than saw JSU lose comfortably.
