Omarion Dollison - Quiet on 10 targets Dollison totaled three receptions (on 10 targets) for 46 yards during Saturday's 21-19 loss to Louisiana-Monroe.

Impact Dollison saw more than five targets for the first time all season, but he only reeled in three of the passes thrown his way. Still, the wideout was productive once again, and he's logged 10 catches for 219 yards and two scores over the last three weeks.

Impact After throwing five touchdown passes in back-to-back games, Barnett's lone score Saturday came on the ground. The redshirt sophomore completed a season-low 42.6 percent of his pass attempts, though he's now gone four straight games without an interception.

Ayo Adeyi - Injury revealed Adeyi has a lower-body injury, JMU Sports News reports.

Impact Previously undisclosed, Adeyi's lower-body injury caused him to sit out another game Saturday. Currently, JMU's next game is scheduled for this coming Saturday at Louisiana-Monroe.

SEPTEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

George Pettaway - Effective on four rushes Pettaway compiled four carries for 35 yards and one touchdown and caught 1 of 2 targets for four yards during Saturday's 63-7 win versus Ball State.

Impact No JMU back handled more than six carries on the day despite the blowout victory. Pettaway was one of three tailbacks to log a carry in the first half, with Tyler Purdy and Wayne Knight mixing in. At this point, it's hard to trust any JMU running back considering the timeshare, though Pettaway is the closest thing the team has to a No. 1 back.

SEPTEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Cam Ross - Scores again Saturday Ross totaled three receptions (on five targets) for 46 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 63-7 win against Ball State.

Impact Ross found paydirt for a second consecutive game, connecting with Alonza Barnett for a 26-yard touchdown in the third quarter. On the year, Ross leads the Dukes in receptions (15), but he trails Omarion Dollison in receiving yards and touchdowns.

SEPTEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Omarion Dollison - Finds paydirt in Week 5 Dollison had four receptions (on five targets) for 48 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 63-7 victory versus Ball State.

Impact Dollison hasn't caught more than four passes in a game this season, but he's made up for the lack of volume with splash plays. He's averaging 28.1 yards per catch on the year and has three touchdowns.

SEPTEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Taylor Thompson - Approaches century mark Thompson totaled five receptions (on seven targets) for 91 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 63-7 victory against Ball State.

Impact Thompson set season highs in receptions, yards and targets Saturday. He found the end zone for a second straight week, benefitting from the Dukes' recent offensive explosion. On the year, Thompson has caught 12 passes for 173 yards ant two touchdowns.

SEPTEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Yamir Knight - Scores twice in blowout Knight compiled four receptions (on five targets) for 44 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 63-7 win versus Ball State.

Impact Knight scored his first touchdowns of the season Saturday, connecting with Alonza Barnett for scores of 12 and 10 yards. The sophomore has turned 17 targets into 12 catches for 152 yards.

SEPTEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Alonza Barnett III - Remarkable once again Barnett was 20-for-28 passing for 280 yards and five touchdowns during Saturday's 63-7 win versus Ball State. He also had 10 rushes for 60 yards with one touchdown.

Impact Barnett accounted for seven touchdowns last week against North Carolina and chipped in six more scores against Ball State on Saturday. On top of completing 64.7 percent of his passes for 1,022 yards and 12 touchdowns, Barnett has been excellent as a runner, accumulating 263 yards and three scores across four games. While it's unlikely JMU will continue to score 60 points per game, Barnett has certainly done enough to enter fantasy conversations.

Impact Dollison connected with Alonza Barnett for a 69-yard touchdown in the first quarter, marking the wideout's second touchdown of the campaign. Through three games, Dollison has seen only 10 targets, but he's turned those chances into five catches for 205 yards.
