Kenji Lewis - Doesn't play Saturday Lewis (undisclosed) was out for Saturday's win over UMass.
Jaylen Poe - Gets involved due to injury Poe posted 15 carries for 98 yards and two touchdowns and caught their only target for zero yards during Saturday's 34-20 win over Massachusetts.
Impact The supplementary running back has not been utilized much since Week 1 of the season, but he was able to get a lot of carries due to Antario Brown (undisclosed) exiting the game. Poe was used a lot and scored two second-half touchdowns, being used tandem with running back Gavin Williams throughout the matchup. He'll likely be used in the future if Brown stays out but could still see a spot in the game plan in the future after a great day for the Huskies.

Gavin Williams - Best performance of the year Williams had 19 rushes for 125 yards and one touchdown and caught 0 of 1 targets for zero yards during Saturday's 34-20 win against Massachusetts.
Impact Williams had a huge performance as result of the Huskies' run-heavy script, and he could continue to do so in the future if the team keeps this vision. The running back did punch in his sole score in the fourth quarter when the game was tilting in Northern Illinois' favor, but he showed a consistent ability to run the football effectively throughout the game.

Ethan Hampton - Passing game barely utilized Hampton completed 5 of 9 passes for 34 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Saturday's 34-20 victory over Massachusetts. He also had seven rushes for 64 yards with one...
Impact Hampton was very productive on the ground, especially as he punched in a score towards the end of the game. On the other hand, it's evident the Huskies are using the rush game as a focal point, meaning the 6-foot-3 quarterback has been inefficient or underutilized in each game this season except for a big performance in Week 1. In the future, his true value will likely have a ceiling of his rushing performance, unless the running backs for Northern Illinois stop being as effective as they have so far been.
