NORTHERN ILLINOIS HUSKIES NEWS

Ethan Hampton - Not starting Hampton (undisclosed) isn't starting against Ball State, SB Nation reports.

Impact Hampton wasn't listed on NIU's injury report, but that appears to have been good misdirection from the Huskies, as their starting quarterback is still clearly nursing his injury that's held him out last week. In his stead, Josh Holst is starting at signal caller.

Christopher Gore - Active Saturday Gore (undisclosed) is not on the injury report ahead of Saturday's matchup with Ball State, Skyler Kellus of the Northern Star reports.

Impact Gore was sidelined last week against Toledo, though he'll be back in action Saturday. Despite his return, the redshirt freshman isn't likely to see much of a role in the Huskies' offense. Gore's dressed for four games without seeing a target this year.

OCTOBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Jake Appleget - Out Saturday Appleget (undisclosed) is out Saturday at Ball State.

Impact Appleget will be back on the sidelines Saturday as he deals with an undisclosed injury. He had caught just two passes this season so his absence will not make much of an impact on the game.

OCTOBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Christopher Gore - DNP for Toledo game Gore (undisclosed) did not play during Northern Illinois' 13-6 loss Saturday against Toledo.

Impact Gore's latest DNP is his first since Northern Illinois logged an upset win at Notre Dame on Sept. 7.

OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Cam Thompson - Season-high yardage in defeat Thompson posted five receptions (on nine targets) for 80 yards during Saturday's 13-6 loss versus Toledo.

Impact Thompson produced a season-high 80 receiving yards against the Rockets, making up for some lousy performances in the recent weeks. The 6-foot wide receiver's volatility still makes him a risky player stats-wise, but his involvement in the coming weeks should determine whether he could be a play moving forward.

OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Antario Brown - 53 yards on the ground in loss Brown tallied 13 rushes for 53 yards during Saturday's 13-6 loss to Toledo.

Impact Brown was questionable with an undisclosed injury heading into the matchup, meaning his 13 carries could've been increased if he was fully healthy. Nonetheless, the running back now has competition with Gavin Williams commanding a high amount of carries and pushing solid output out in the recent weeks.

OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Gavin Williams - 78 yards in low-producing loss Williams posted 16 rushes for 78 yards and reeled in 2 of 6 targets for 17 yards during Saturday's 13-6 loss to Toledo.

Impact Williams has commanded the bulk of carries for the Huskies in the recent weeks, but an inability to find the end zone has become a problem for the running back's stats on paper. The senior ball carrier now has 64 attempts for 305 yards and one touchdown in the last three games, but his lack of presence in the team's receiving game means touchdowns are what will need to elevate his output each week.

OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Josh Holst - 210 yards in first start Holst was 22-for-46 passing for 210 yards during Saturday's 13-6 loss against Toledo. He also had 14 rushes for 48 yards.

Impact Holst's 210 passing yards and 48 rushing yards are nothing to be ashamed about, but they weren't quite enough for him to a get a win on his first start. The young quarterback got the start due to starter Ethan Hampton (undisclosed) being out for the matchup, meaning next week's man under center is a mystery at the moment.

Christopher Gore - Questionable Saturday Gore (undisclosed) is questionable for Saturday's game versus Toledo.

OCTOBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Jaylen Poe - Won't play Saturday Poe (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Saturday's matchup versus Toledo.

Impact Poe will now miss his second consecutive game due to an undisclosed injury. His next chance to play will be next week versus Ball State.

OCTOBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Antario Brown - Listed as questionable Brown (undisclosed) is listed as questionable for NIU's game against Toledo.

Impact Brown wasn't expected to play this week, but he's listed as questionable on the injury report. It's unclear how much run he'll get even if he is available. The tailback would likely be replaced by Gavin Williams if he's not able to go.

OCTOBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Josh Holst - Slated to start Holst will get his first career start against Toledo, Skyler Kellus of the Northern Star reports.

Impact Holst will start for the Huskies with Ethan Hampton presumably unavailable. The quarterback played last week against Bowling Green, tallying 89 yards on 10-for-14 passing.

Impact The young quarterback came into the action after starting quarterback Ethan Hampton left the game in the second quarter with an undisclosed injury.
