Eric Rivers - Huge game against NMSURivers reeled in 11 catches for 295 yards and three touchdowns against NMSU on Tuesday.

ImpactThe Aggies have a terrible defense, so accounting for opposition this may not be the best performance of the season for an FBS receiver. In terms of sheer stats, though, Rivers may have just had the game of the year for a receiver, and he came into this game with five games with over 90 yards and five total touchowns.

ImpactFIU won because the passing game got going, but this was not idea for Owens nevertheless. The Aggies have struggled against the run, so the fact Owens only averaged 3.0 yards per carry is a concern.
