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

ImpactBrendan 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 winRoyer caught all eight targets for 84 yards during Saturday's 19-13 victory versus UCF.

ImpactRoyer caught every pass that head his way in the victory. Royer is an excellent security blanket for Brendan Sorsby, who is having a great year but needs a reliable check-down target. Royer, along with Xzavier Henderson and Tony Johnson, form an imposing fleet of receivers at Sorsby's disposal.

Jacurri Brown - Replaces Jefferson at quarterbackBrown completed 13 of 20 passes for 207 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 19-13 loss versus Cincinnati. He also had 16 rushes for 84 yards.

ImpactSurprisingly, KJ Jefferson was benched after starting the first five games of the season. but the Knights still struggled to score with Brown under center. The Bearcats recorded one of their worst offensive performances and allowed UCF a chance to catch up late in the game, but the Knights' offensive line couldn't keep Brown upright after a last-ditch effort to score. It's an uncharacterisc start for the Knights, and it's currently unknown if Brown will continue at quarterback against Iowa State next week.
