MIDDLE TENNESSEE BLUE RAIDERS NEWS

Bailey Hockman - Throws TD, INT Hockman went 19-for-32 for 207 yards, one touchdown, and one interception against Virginia Tech on Saturday.

Impact After looking good against FCS school Monmouth in Week 1, Hockman couldn't get it going against Virginia Tech. This is the toughest challenge the NC State transfer will face this year, though. Hockman didn't look terrible, so there should be no risk of him losing the starting role.

DJ England-Chisolm - Scores TD England-Chisolm caught two passes for 42 yards and a touchdown against Monmouth on Saturday.

Impact He found the end zone, but two catches is not terribly exciting. England-Chisolm is in the middle of the depth chart, so this could have been a fluke potentially. We'll have to see.

CJ Windham - Catches TD Windham caught five passes for 46 yards and a score Saturday versus Monmouth.

Impact Windham was a redshirt senior in 2020, but used his extra year of COVID-19 eligibility to return again. That means he brings plenty of experience to the passing game, which could mean that transfer quarterback Bailey Hockman looks to him as a reliable option.

Jaylin Lane - Catches TD Lane caught four passes for 91 yards and a touchdown against Monmouth on Saturday.

Impact Last year as a true freshman Lane only caught 17 passes in seven games. This represents a big step up in involvement in the MTSU offense. That's not uncommon for sophomores, of course, but this was also against an FCS team.

SEPTEMBER 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Chaton Mobley - Scores TD Mobley rushed four times for 24 yards and a touchdown Saturday against Monmouth.

Impact The MTSU running game was just throwing everything against the wall to see what stuck. Eleven different players got at least one carry, but nobody got more than seven. This is, needless to say, an unclear situation currently. Mobley just happens to be the veteran in the group and got the touchdown.

Bailey Hockman - Throws three TDs Hockman went 17-for-22 for 215 yards and three touchdowns against Monmouth on Saturday.

Impact Hockman transferred in from NC State and won the starting job. This was against an FCS team, but so far so good for the quarterback. Next week against Virginia Tech will be an interesting test.

Bailey Hockman - Listed as starter on depth chart Hockman is atop MTSU's depth chart for the opener against Monmouth.

Impact Hockman transferred in from N.C. State during the offseason after appearing in 10 games and completing 64.3 percent of his 266 pass attempts for 2,088 yards and a 13:11 TD:INT ratio. He could show some improvement under center now that his competition level will take a step down.
