SEPTEMBER 9, 2021 • Associated Press

Christian Trahan - Nabs six catches Trahan caught six passes for 42 yards against Texas Tech.

Impact The 6-foot-3 tight end set a new career high in receptions with six of them in the team's first game of the season. Trahan appears to be locked in as the team's starting tight end this season and a strong first game bodes well for him going forward.

SEPTEMBER 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Nathaniel Dell - Turns in solid performance Dell caught seven passes for 80 yards and caught a receiving touchdown while rushing one time for five yards against Texas Tech.

Impact After finishing the season on a strong note, the sophomore receiver extended a streak of catching at least six passes to three games Saturday. Dell was the only receiver with more than 50 yards on the team and appears to be the go-to-guy for quarterback Clayton Tune. The 5-foot-10 receiver will look to continue his strong play next week against Rice.

SEPTEMBER 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Mulbah Car - Struggles on the ground Car carried the ball 13 times for 37 yards and caught two pases for seven yards against Texas Tech.

Impact The senior running back could not get anything going in the team's loss to Texas Tech. Car averaged just 2.8 yards per carry and failed to find the end zone as well. On a positive note no other running back garnered more than four carries so it does seem like the back field duties will be mainly held by Car this season.

Clayton Tune - Inefficient day Tune completed 27 of 38 pass attempts for 174 yards to go two passing touchdowns with 28 rushing yards on 13 attempts while scoring on the ground. The quarterback also threw four i...

Impact It was not the best day for the Junior quarterback as he turned the ball over four times in the loss. Tune was able to muster three total scores but the quarterback still needs to work on protecting the ball after throwing 10 interceptions in eight games last year. The 6-foot-3 quarterback will look to get back on the right track next week against Rice.
