SEPTEMBER 15•ASSOCIATED PRESS

Adrian Norton - Finally surpasses 100 yardsNorton had five catches for 125 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 31-20 win against Colgate.

ImpactNorton was very efficient against Colgate, and he finally played like the WR1 that he's been listed as especially accruing more than 100 yards and a score in the second quarter. If Akron continues to rely on the passing game especially in the coming conference games, Norton should benefit even if he doesn't find the end zone.

SEPTEMBER 14•ROTOWIRE

Bobby Golden - Huge day in win over ColgateGolden notched five catches for 119 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 31-20 victory against Colgate.

ImpactAkron's passing game was in full swing against Colgate and Golden benefitted greatly. He's not the highest receiver on the team's depth chart currently, but he likely will see more big games like this one in conference play when the team needs to rely on the pass.

SEPTEMBER 14•ROTOWIRE

Jake Newell - Punches score in winNewell compiled seven catches for 41 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 31-20 win against Colgate.

ImpactNewell had the most receptions out of any of Akron's pass catchers, but he was more of a consistent small-catch producer. The 6-foot-4 tight end has seen plus-40 yard performances in 2 of Akron's three games this season.

SEPTEMBER 14•ROTOWIRE

Charles Kellom - Gets receiving score vs ColgateKellom accrued 11 rushes for 30 yards and brought in five catches for 36 yards and a touchdown during Saturday's 31-20 victory over Colgate.

ImpactKellom ended up out-carrying the traditional RB1 Jordon Simmons, and Kellom also showcased an impressive receiving ability. The 5-foot-11 running back looks to be a force in Akron's offense moving forward.

SEPTEMBER 14•ROTOWIRE

Ben Finley - Impressive in win over ColgateFinley completed 28 of 43 passes for 358 yards, four touchdowns and one interception during Saturday's 31-20 victory over Colgate. He also had 11 rushes for -28 yards.

ImpactFinley finally had something click especially as Akron played a team closer to their competition level after Ohio State and Rutgers. The 6-foot-3 quarterback showcased an ability to get many receivers involved, and it appears he'll be just fine with conference play arriving now.

SEPTEMBER 14•ROTOWIRE

Myles Walker - Remains sidelinedWalker (undisclosed) won't play Saturday against Colgate.

ImpactIt'll be the third straight game Walker's missed to open the season. The 5-foot-9 wideout had eight grabs for 66 yards with a touchdown last season.
