Western Kentucky Hilltoppers vs. Sam Houston State Bearkats - News: Oct 16, 2024

FINAL
Michael Phoenix II - Finds end zone Phoenix can two passes for 56 yards and a touchdown Wednesday against WKU.
Impact Phoenix has three touchdowns on six catches. That's efficient! On the other hand, he only has six catches through six games, and that's not good.

Jay Ducker - Struggles on the ground Ducker ran six times for 17 yards but had two catches for 34 yards versus WKU on Thursday.
Impact Ducker struggled on the ground, but on the season he has averaged 5.1 yards per carry. In 2021, before a couple years of injury issues, he averaged 5.4 yards per tote with Northern Illinois. Ducker should be fine, especially if he can add some catches into the mix.

Jase Bauer - Struggles in substitute role Bauer entered Wednesday's game against WKU in the third quarter after Hunter Watson left with an undisclosed injury. He went 12-for-22 for 106 yards and an interception. He also ra...
Impact Well, two turnovers and no touchdowns is not ideal. Even so, if Watson can't go next week against FIU, Bauer will be the starter.

Hunter Watson - Plays well, leaves with injury Watson went 6-for-9 for 128 yards and two touchdowns and ran seven times for 37 yards against WKU on Wednesday. However, he left the game due to an undisclosed injury and did not r...
Impact Jase Bauer stepped in, struggled a bit, and the Bearkats ended up losing. If Watson is able to go against FIU next week he will assuredly be the starter, though he may not be as strong in the run game as usual.
OCTOBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Kisean Johnson - Surprisingly little work Johnson caught three passes for 19 yards against Sam Houston on Wednesday.
Impact Johnson had been on a tear that led to him emerging as the top receiver for the Hilltoppers. He was only targeted five times in this game, a low for him on the season, but this could just be a fluke. When Johnson plays against Kennesaw State in WKU's next game things should pick back up.
OCTOBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
River Helms - Finds end zone Helms caught three passes for 28 yards and a touchdown versus Sam Houston on Wednesday.
Impact The tight end has 19 catches for 228 yards and two touchdowns through seven games. He's going to beat his numbers from last year, but he's also not the most prolific of tight ends.
OCTOBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
K.D. Hutchinson - Catches long TD Hutchinson had three catches for 88 yards and a score against Sam Houston on Wednesday.
Impact Hutchinson has caught two long touchdowns this season, a 74-yarder in this matchup, but otherwise he's not involved in the offense. In total, he has eight catches for 179 yards through seven games, with three games in which he has been targeted zero times.
