Cam Thompson - Three grabs, touchdown in loss Thompson logged three receptions (on six targets) for 62 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 42-17 loss versus Arizona.
Impact After totaling just one reception (for zero yards) in his first two games this year, Thompson appears to have developed some chemistry with quarterback Taron Dickens. The senior wideout finished the day with the second-most receiving yards on the team, thanks in large part to a 52-yard touchdown grab that gave NIU a 10-0 lead in the first quarter. After spending his first two seasons with the Huskies, Thompson transferred to Mississippi State last year where he failed to record any stats, prompting a return to NIU.

Taron Dickens - Solid in first start Dickens was 25-for-37 passing for 228 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 42-17 loss versus Arizona. He also had seven rushes for nine yards.
Impact Dickens was sharp in his first start this season, as he completed 67.6 percent of his passes while avoiding turnovers against a power-five Arizona defense. Through three games overall, Dickens has completed 71.8 percent of his passes for 517 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. He'll lead the offense again next week in a road matchup at Georgia State.
