Up next for Gophers: Homecoming vs. Purdue The Boilermakers are 2-2 and the health status of their starting QB is in question.
Payne Durham - Minimal role in narrow win Durham recorded four catches (five targets) for 17 yards during Saturday's 28-26 win against Florida Atlantic.
Impact Durham recorded his second-fewest receptions and targets with starting quarterback Aidan O'Connell (undisclosed) sidelined Saturday. The 6-foot-5 tight end's receiving production will likely be limited while catching passes from backup Austin Burton (21-of-29 passing, 166 yards, 3:1 TD:INT ratio) so long as O'Connell remains out.

TJ Sheffield - Nabs touchdown in win Sheffield caught two passes (three targets) for 22 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 28-26 win against Florida Atlantic.
Impact Sheffield caught a four-yard receiving score from backup quarterback Austin Burton, who stepped in for injured starter Aidan O'Connell (undisclosed) during Saturday's win. The 5-foot-11 junior caught five of his six passes for 45 yards while netting a six-yard loss on his one carry last week against Syracuse, and he should continue to push for the Boilermakers' No. 2 wideout spot so long as Broc Thompson (knee) remains sidelined.

Charlie Jones - Scores twice without staring passer Jones caught nine of 11 passes for 59 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 28-26 win over Florida Atlantic.
Impact Jones hauled in at least nine receptions for the fourth game in a row despite catching passes from backup Austin Burton (21-of-29 passing, 166 yards, 3:1 TD:INT ratio) on Saturday. With starting quarterback Aidan O'Connell (undisclosed) sidelined, the Boilermakers leaned into the short passing game with Burton (5.7 yards per attempt). Jones should continue to serve as the center of Purdue's passing game no matter who steps in under center for the Boilermakers.

Devin Mockobee - Tallies 10 touches Saturday Mockobee rushed six times for 37 yards while adding four catches (four targets) for another 59 yards during Saturday's 28-26 win over Florida Atlantic.
Impact Mockobee made his biggest impact as the Boilermakers' second-leading receiver with quarterback Aidan O'Connell (undisclosed) held out of Saturday's game. With this starting signal-caller sidelined, Purdue leaned more into the running game with backup Austin Burton stepping into a game-manager role (21-of-29 passing, 166 yards, 3:1 TD:INT ratio) against the Owls. Mockobee's season-high receiving production will be difficult to replicate next week against Minnesota's stout defense.
SEPTEMBER 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Dylan Downing - Prolific in starting role Downing recorded 113 yards and one touchdown on 15 carries during Saturday's 28-26 win against Florida Atlantic.
Impact Downing stepped in as the Boilermakers' starting running back with King Doerue (calf) once again sidelined in Week 4. The 6-foot, 225-pound junior helped buoy Purdue's offense with starting quarterback Aidan O'Connell (undisclosed) sidelined, accounting for 15 of the team's total running back carries ahead of Devin Mockobee (six rushes, 37 yards; four receptions, four targets, 59 yards). Downing will face much stiffer competition next week against Minnesota's stout rushing defense.
SEPTEMBER 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Austin Burton - Manages win in spot start Burton went 21-of-29 passing for 166 yards and a 3:1 TD:INT ratio during Saturday's 28-26 win over Florida Atlantic. He also added 15 yards on eight rushes.
Impact Burton got the start under center for the Boilermakers in place of senior Aidan O'Connell (undisclosed), who was scratched ahead of Saturday's game. The backup signal-caller managed an efficient 72.4 completion percentage against the Owls defense, though he averaged just 5.7 yards per attempt. Burton likely will continue to serve a game-manager role so long as O'Connell remains out this season, though the Boilermakers will face a much tougher defensive matchup next week against Minnesota.
