Tosses three TDs Saturday Padgett was 24-for-37 passing for 255 yards, three touchdowns and one interception during Saturday's 24-21 win over Florida Atlantic. He also had seven rushes for 22 yards.

Impact Padgett tossed three touchdown passes in Saturday's win, a win which secured bowl eligibility for the Owls. Two of his touchdowns went to tight end Boden Groen, with the other finding Luke McCaffery to no surprise. Depending on when the Owls' bowl game is scheduled for, Padgett could be in line to start that game if JT Daniels is unable to get out of concussion protocol by then.

Impact Padgett put together a solid outing Saturday, highlighted by two rushing touchdowns in the 21-point win over Charlotte. The win brought the team up to 5-6 on the season, so a win in next Saturday's season finale versus FAU would send the Owls to a bowl game. Whether or not Padgett will start that game depends on if JT Daniels (concussion) is able to get out of concussion protocol this week.

Tosses two TDs in first start Padgett completed 17 of 28 passes for 182 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 34-14 defeat against Texas-San Antonio. He also had 11 rushes for -13 yards and a lost fumble.

Impact Padgett received his first start of the season Saturday and tossed two touchdowns, one to Luke McCaffery and one to Landon Ransom-Goelz. He played fine in the passing game but struggled in the run game, losing 13 yards on 11 carries and fumbling twice (one lost). If JT Daniels (concussion) is unable to go Saturday at Charlotte, Padgett will be in line to start again.
