Tyrese Chambers - Catches TDChambers reeled in three passes for 67 yards and a touchdown against LIU on Thursday.

ImpactChambers put up good numbers in his last season with Sacred Heart before transferring to FIU, but how he would look with his new team was a total mystery. He still has yet to play FBS competition, but this is not a bad way to begin with a new squad.

Bryce Singleton - Opens season strongSingleton caught six passes for 149 yards and a touchdown against LIU on Thursday.

ImpactLast season, Singleton had 150 yards and one touchdown all season. He's almost there already! Shemar Thornton (undisclosed) didn't play in this game, which could have led to more targets for Singleton. He was up to the task, though.

Shaun Peterson - Finds end zonePeterson rushed eight times for 36 yards and a touchdown Thursday against LIU.

ImpactPeterson actually led the Panthers in touches, though the fact the game is a blowout played into that. Top back D'vonte Price only needed five carries to score three touchdowns, after all. Peterson seems like a clear number-two option right now, though.

D'Vonte Price - Does a ton with a few carriesPrice only touched the ball five times Thursday against LIU, but he rushed for 165 yards and three touchdowns.

ImpactTalk about efficiency. The Sharks defenders were torn apart by Price. Now, we are talking about Long Island University here. This was a very easy way to ease into the season. Still, numbers like this will draw attention, and rightfully so.

Max Bortenschlager - Throws two TDsBortenschlager went 14-for-17 for 266 yards and two touchdowns against LIU on Thursday. He also rushed three times for 12 yards.

ImpactLast year in limited action for FIU, Bortenschlager only completed 45.8 percent of his passes. This was an easy matchup, obviously. Still, this kind of efficiency is encouraging, but we will want to see more.

Shemar Thornton - Unavailable ThursdayThornton is inactive for Thursday's season-opener against Long Island University due to an undisclosed reason, Eric Henry of SBNation.com reports.

ImpactThornton was listed as a starter on the team's depth chart that was released Wednesday so it's unclear what may have happened between then and Thursday night's kickoff that forced him out of action. Expect heavier usage from other starters Bryce Singleton and Randall St. Felix with Thornton sidelined.
