Amare Thomas - Scores three TDs Saturday Thomas posted 10 receptions (on 12 targets) for 99 yards and three touchdowns during Saturday's 45-35 defeat versus West Virginia.

Tanner Koziol - Catches TD Saturday Koziol posted five receptions (on six targets) for 54 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 45-35 defeat against West Virginia.
Impact Koziol scored his fifth touchdown of the season Saturday, a three-yard touchdown from Conner Weigman in the first quarter. It was his third straight game with a score and he has also gained at least 40 yards in five of the last six games, a great level of consistency for a tight end. He will look to keep that going Friday at UCF.

Dean Connors - 98 yards in loss Connors accrued 13 carries for 71 yards and hauled in all three targets for 27 yards during Saturday's 45-35 defeat against West Virginia.
Impact Connors had a solid performance in Saturday's loss as he gained nearly 100 yards on 16 touches. He failed to score a touchdown in his third consecutive game though which has limited his upside. He remains a very good option considering his volume, and he has also proven to have a high ceiling especially in favorable matchups.

Conner Weigman - Five touchdowns in loss Weigman completed 25 of 35 passes for 309 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions during Saturday's 45-35 defeat to West Virginia. He also had 12 rushes for -27 yards with one...
Impact Weigman was all over the place Saturday as he simultaneously had one of his best performances and one of his worst. He set season highs with 309 passing yards and four passing touchdowns and scored another touchdown on the ground, but he also turned the ball over a season-high three times and had a season-low -27 rushing yards. He will look to take care of the ball better Friday at UCF.

Cam Vaughn - Nabs TD in shocking upset Vaughn compiled one reception (on four targets) for 24 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 45-35 victory against Houston.
Impact Vaughn grabbed his fourth touchdown of the season as West Virginia shocked the nation with an upset of Houston on the road. The Mountaineers have found a starting QB in true freshman Scotty Fox who impressed against the Cougars. Over his last two games, he's shown some chemistry with Vaughn with a combined seven catches (on 16 targets) for 109 yards and a touchdown. Vaughn is a sneaky play against a bad Colorado defense next week.

Rodney Gallagher III - Five catches in shocking upset Gallagher posted five receptions (on seven targets) for 53 yards during Saturday's 45-35 win against Houston.
Impact Gallagher has at least five catches in two straight games with the West Virginia offense playing dramatically better of late. QB Scotty Fox has impressed and helped the Mountaineers pull off a shocking upset on the road. Gallagher has 25 catches (on 36 targets) for 212 yards in nine games. West Virginia will play Colorado next week.
