Victor Tucker - Finds end zone again Tucker caught three passes for 19 yards and a touchdown against UTEP on Saturday.

Grant Dubose - Catches two TDs DuBose caught six passes for 55 yards and two touchdowns Saturday against UTEP.

Elijah Spencer - Keeps touchdown streak alive Spencer caught seven passes for 160 yards and a score versus UTEP on Saturday.

J.K. Dobbins - Throws four TDs Reynolds went 22-for-38 for 346 yard, four touchdowns, and an interception against UTEP on Saturday. He also lost a fumble.
