Josiah Freeman - Returns versus NM StateFreeman appeared in Saturday's 48-0 win over New Mexico State.

ImpactFreeman missed the first two games of the season due to an undisclosed injury. He was able to make his season debut in Saturday's blowout win as he played 10 offensive snaps. Despite his return he was not targeted in the game.

Chedon James - Logs another DNPJames (undisclosed) did not play in Saturday's 48-0 win over New Mexico State.

ImpactJames caught one pass for three yards (on three targets) in Week 1 and has now played since. It's unclear what's keeping the Idaho State transfer off the field. His next chance to play is this Saturday at New Mexico.

Donovan Faupel - DNP SaturdayFaupel (undisclosed) did not play in Saturday's 48-0 loss to Fresno State.

ImpactAfter logging 76 snaps across the first two games of the season, Faupel did not appear in Saturday's blowout loss. His next chance to play is this Saturday at Sam Houston State.

Mike Washington - Rough day against FresnoWashington carried the ball eight times against Fresno State on Saturday. He totaled three yards and fumbled twice.

ImpactNMSU has the worst passing offense in FBS football. It needs to rely on the run game, and Washington had paired well with Seth McGowan as a "thunder" back to the latter's "lightning." This doesn't suffice, though, and opens the door for concerns about the Buffalo transfer.

Seth McGowan - Rushes for 47 yardsMcGowan ran 11 times for 47 yards against Fresno State on Saturday.

ImpactFor comparison's sake, NMSU totaled 61 yards passing. This offense is struggling heavily in the post-Jerry Kill era. McGowan, a four-star recruit for Oklahoma back in the day, is the most-talented player on this team, and this team has no real hope but to rely on him it would appear.

SEPTEMBER 15•ROTOWIRE

Deuce Hogan - Brutal against FresnoHogan stepped in for Parker Awad in a 48-0 blowout loss to Fresno State on Saturday. He went 4-for-13 for eight yards with two picks.

ImpactHogan couldn't get playing time at Iowa, or at Kentucky. Parker Awad has been bad as NMSU's starting quarterback, but when Hogan played in this one, he was even worse. Maybe the Aggies will need to dip into the depth chart and hope to find gold?

Parker Awad - Another poor performanceAwad went 6-for-15 for 48 yards and an interception against Fresno State on Saturday. He also ran seven times for 25 yards.

ImpactSimply put, completing 37.0 percent of your passes won't cut it, especially when you've also averaged 0.8 yards per rush. It's not surprising that Deuce Hogan got a chance to play in this one. The problem is that he was even worse than Awad.
