Tanner Koziol - Leader in receptions in victory Koziol (leg) had six receptions (on eight targets) for 52 yards during Saturday's 35-9 victory against Rice.
Impact Koziol was cleared to play against the Owls after suffering through a leg injury over the last week and took advantage of the opportunity, leading the team with six receptions on a day in which no other Houston receiver caught logged more than two. The 6-foot-7 tight end has proven to be a reliable target for the Houston offense through two games and will likely continue to be a contributor moving forward. His next opportunity will come against Colorado on Friday.

Quinton Jackson - 52 yards on the ground in loss Jackson recorded 15 carries for 52 yards during Saturday's 35-9 loss versus Houston.
Impact After a 100-yard performance in week 1, Jackson came back down to earth against Houston, averaging only 3.5 yards per carry. The junior did have the most carries on the team, and all signs point to him being the lead running back this fall.

Chase Jenkins - Rushing touchdown in loss Jenkins completed 10 of 12 passes for 50 yards and one interception during Saturday's 35-9 defeat versus Houston. He also had 14 rushes for 33 yards with one touchdown.
Impact Jenkins found the end zone for the first time this season Saturday, but still has yet to do much damage in the passing game this season. While he has been efficient, completing 81 percent of his passes, the sophomore hasn't eclipsed 100 yards total in the air all season.
