DT Sheffield - Quiet in Saturday's loss Sheffield caught 4 of 5 targets for 41 yards and a lost fumble during Saturday's 40-28 loss against East Carolina.

Impact Sheffield had yet another quiet outing Saturday as he gained just 41 yards and lost a fumble. After a great run of games with Damon Ward out, Sheffield has been very quiet in his last three outings as he has just 11 catches for 85 yards during that stretch. He will look to bounce back Saturday at Temple in the regular season finale.

Impact Conwright found the end zone twice in the first half Saturday, a four-yard catch in the first quarter and a three-yard catch in the second. It marked his first multi-touchdown game of the season and he now has seven touchdowns this campaign. He faces another favorable matchup Saturday at Temple in the regular season finale.

Damon Ward Jr. - Five catches Saturday Ward totaled five receptions (on nine targets) for 68 yards during Saturday's 40-28 loss to East Carolina.

Impact Ward had another high-volume outing Saturday, putting another solid performance together. He has been very productive and consistent in his four games since returning from injury, catching 19 passes (on 36 targets) for 327 yards and two touchdowns across four games. He faces a very favorable matchup Saturday at Temple in the regular season finale.

Makenzie McGill II - Scores in Saturday's loss McGill recorded nine carries for 45 yards and one touchdown and hauled in 2 of 3 targets for 20 yards during Saturday's 40-28 loss against East Carolina.

Impact Although Shane Porter led the Eagles backfield Saturday, McGill was the running back that found the end zone. He scored a seven-yard touchdown late in the third quarter, his seventh rushing touchdown of the season. The redshirt freshman faces a very favorable matchup Saturday at Temple in the regular season finale, although he is set to be the No. 2 back behind Porter.

Chandler Morris - Bounces back versus ECU Morris was 32-for-48 passing for 266 yards and three touchdowns during Saturday's 40-28 loss against East Carolina. He also had nine rushes for 39 yards.

Impact After back-to-back rough outings, Morris was able to bounce back versus North Texas. He threw three touchdowns in the first half, leading the Eagles to a 21-0 lead that he and the team eventually blew. He also added 39 yards on the ground, his second-most this season. He faces a very favorable matchup Saturday at Temple in the season finale in what is a must-win game in order to secure the team's bowl eligibility.

NOVEMBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Yannick Smith - Breaks out versus North Texas Smith notched seven receptions (on eight targets) for 112 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 40-28 victory over North Texas.

Impact Smith had by far the best game of his collegiate career Saturday as he set season highs in receptions, targets and yards. He also scored his second career touchdown, a 28-yard reception in the third quarter. He showed flashes of a breakout last week at Tulsa as he caught four of seven targets for 62 yards, but he firmly established himself as a receiving threat versus North Texas. Part of the reason for his increased work was that Chase Sowell (hamstring) did not play, so Smith may not be quite as involved Friday versus Navy if Sowell returns.

NOVEMBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Anthony Smith - Catches TD Saturday Smith posted four receptions (on seven targets) for 121 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 40-28 win over North Texas.

Impact Smith scored his sixth touchdown of the season Saturday, a 50-yard reception in the third quarter which took the 24-21 lead. He also led the team with 121 yards, a mark that set a new season high. He faces a more difficult matchup Friday versus Navy in the regular season finale.
