Xzavier Henderson - Limited iin narrow win Henderson reeled in all two targets for 21 yards during Saturday's 19-13 victory over UCF.

Impact Brendan Sorsby targeted Henderson only two times and the receiver made the most of what he was given. The lack of targets is somewhat puzzling considering his usual allotment of opportunities, but the Knights had some success pressuring Sorsby, leading him to dump the ball to Joe Royer often. Through six games, Henderson has 34 catches for 474 yards and four touchdowns.

Joe Royer - Logs eight catches in narrow win Royer caught all eight targets for 84 yards during Saturday's 19-13 victory versus UCF.

Royer, along with Xzavier Henderson and Tony Johnson, form an imposing fleet of receivers at Sorsby's disposal.

Brendan Sorsby - Two TDs and two picks in win Sorsby was 25-for-38 passing for 241 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions during Saturday's 19-13 win versus UCF. He also had nine rushes for four yards with one touchdown.

Impact Sorsby thew a TD pass and also ran one in during the loss, but an otherwise solid line was tarnished with two costly interceptions.

Sorsby had only thrown one interception prior to Saturday, but he's still showing excellent numbers for the season. He's completed 66.2 percent of his passes and is responsible for 13 passing touchdowns and four rushing touchdowns through six games.
