Donovan Smith - Throws three interceptions in lossSmith completed 15 of 24 passes for 173 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions during Saturday's 42-14 loss versus Kansas. He also had 14 rushes for 45 yards.

ImpactSmith was back under center Saturday, but the mediocre results for him continued to persist. Zeon Chriss and Ui Ale also saw a few snaps under center, so it's safe to say that Smith's job is still far from secure. Things won't get any easier for the Ciugars against a stalwart Utah defense next week.

Stephon Johnson - Ruled out SaturdayJohnson (concussion) was ruled out prior to Houston's 42-14 loss to Kansas on Saturday, per Joseph Duarte of the Houston Chronicle.

ImpactJohnson was ruled out in the hours prior to kickoff on Saturday after suffering a concussion in practice earlier in the week. The junior receiver had caught 18 passes for 202 yards and a touchdown for the Cougars through the team's first six games this season prior to the injury. Saturday marked Johnson's first missed game this season and the team is hopeful he can make his return to the field against Utah this coming Saturday.

Jared Casey - Nabs pair of TDsCasey gathered in all two targets for five yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 42-14 victory versus Houston.

ImpactCasey returned to the end-zone with a pair of scores against Houston. The experienced tight end has at least two touchdowns in each of the last four years. His best year came in 2022 when he had four touchdowns. Kansas will play in-state rival Kansas State next week.

Luke Grimm - Limited opportunities against UHGrimm reeled in 1 of 3 targets for nine yards during Saturday's 42-14 victory against Houston.

ImpactGrimm had a quiet afternoon as Lawrence Arnold and Quentin Skinner combined for six catches (on nine targets) for 139 yards and a touchdown. The bigger storyline is that QB Jalon Daniels is rounding into form and looks far more accurate than he did to begin the season. That should result in Grimm having bigger weeks ahead. He'll be a pivotal x-factor against in-state rival Kansas State next week.

Quentin Skinner - Follows up big game with TDSkinner reeled in 2 of 4 targets for 59 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 42-14 victory versus Houston.

ImpactSkinner showed that the big game at Arizona State in Week 6 was not an aberration as he logged his third touchdown of the year versus Houston. Skinner's targets can be up-and-down as he's seen as low as two in a game (Week 3 vs. UNLV) and as high as 11 in a game (Week 2 at Illinois). On the season, he's averaging 6.1 targets per game. Kansas will play in-state rival Kansas State next week.
