Impact Cox missed last week's game with an injury, so maybe he wasn't at full speed in this one. To that end, he was only targeted four times, which is a season low for him.

Nahzae Cox - Held to two catches Cox caught two passes for 27 yards Saturday against Sam Houston.
Myles Butler - Tallies 65 yards Butler caught six passes for 65 yards versus Sam Houston on Saturday.
Impact This is Butler's third game in a row with at least five catches, and he now has 44 receptions on the season. He's only had one game with over 65 yards, but the season finale against NMSU is a good opportunity to do that again.
NOVEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Jekail Middlebrook - Plays well in return Middlebrook ran 15 times for 106 yards and had two catches for 31 yards and a score versus Sam Houston on Saturday.
Impact Middlebrook missed MTSU's last game, but he looked no worse for the wear here. He's been good on the ground, but especially good through the air. Middlebrook has 39 catches for 400 yards and three scores.

Roman Gagliano - Totals three TDs Gagliano went 21-for-34 for 268 yards and a touchdown against Sam Houston on Saturday. He also ran nine times for 67 yards and two touchdowns.
Impact Redshirt freshman Gagliano has jolted the Blue Raiders' offense to life, leading one to wonder why it took so long (and a Nicholas Vattiato injury) to get him in the lineup. Even if Vattiato is ready to play next week, Gagliano should start. Derek Mason's only hope of keeping his job as head coach is showing Gagliano's promise and being able to keep him from transferring.

Chris Reed - Reels in two TDs Reed caught six passes for 67 yards and two touchdowns against MTSU on Saturday.
Impact Over his last six outings, Reed has 21 catches for 373 yards. However, all five of his touchdowns have also come in that time.
NOVEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Grady O'Neill - Catches eight passes O'Neill caught eight passes for 89 yards Saturday against MTSU.
Impact O'Neill has been front-and-center as of late, notching at least seven targets in each of his last four games. This is his best game of the season, though, and he's yet to find the end zone.
NOVEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Landan Brown - Catches six passes Brown ran eight times for 38 yards and caught six passes for 57 yards versus MTSU on Saturday.
Impact Brown has broken off some big runs, and he's averaged 5.9 yards per carry. He's also carried the ball 77 times through 11 games, and is more notable for his role in the passing game. The back has tallied 37 catches for 237 yards.
