Quiet after breakout Connors totaled eight carries for 37 yards and caught 2 of 3 targets for 12 yards during Saturday's 30-28 defeat against Tulane.

Impact Just a week after scoring three touchdowns versus Tulsa, Connors was completely outshined by Juma Otoviano. Otoviano scored twice on the ground as the pair received the exact same number of touches. Connors is still the back with higher upside, but it's a concerning sign for Connors that Otoviano is taking an equal amount of work.

Scores three touchdowns Thursday Connors logged nine rushes for 120 yards and three touchdowns during Thursday's 42-10 win versus Tulsa.

Impact Connors scored a hat-trick of rushing touchdowns Thursday, including a 54-yard scamper early in the first quarter to open up the scoring. He reached the century mark in rushing yards for the first time this season despite receiving just nine carries, the exact same number that Juma Otoviano received. After a few dominant games in the passing game in recent weeks, Connors caught just two passes for 20 yards, but next Saturday's matchup versus Tulane should allow him to produce in the passing game as the Owls will likely be playing from behind.
