NORTHERN ILLINOIS HUSKIES NEWS

Trayvon Rudolph - Tough day in OT loss Rudolph tallied two receptions (on five targets) for 10 yards during Saturday's 23-20 overtime defeat to Buffalo.

Impact Rudolph has not done much since his 100-yard season-opener performance, especially as he has just two catches in the last two weeks. The senior pass catcher looks to be a supplementary option in the Huskies' offensive scheme at this point in the season.

Antario Brown - Two touchdowns in near loss Brown had 24 rushes for 73 yards and two touchdowns and gathered in 3 of 5 targets for 22 yards during Saturday's 23-20 overtime defeat to Buffalo.

Impact Brown had complete control over the Huskies' backfield with a bonus two touchdowns, and he's now logged back-to-back weeks with 20 or more carries. The senior running back should continue to be the catalyst of Northern Illinois' rushing attack in the coming weeks.

Ethan Hampton - Struggles versus Bulls Hampton completed 23 of 43 passes for 194 yards and one interception during Saturday's 23-20 overtime loss against Buffalo. He also had five rushes for 16 yards.

Impact Hampton was unable to find a passing touchdown in Northern Illinois' surprising loss after beating Notre Dame last week. The junior quarterback still passed 43 times even with the rush-heavy Husky attack, and he'll have the chance to bounce back next week against NC State.

Trayvon Rudolph - Listed as starter Rudolph is listed as a starter on NIU's Week 4 depth chart, per Skyler Kellus of the Northern Star.

Impact Rudolph missed most of the massive upset against Notre Dame, playing just 11 snaps. He's back on the depth chart as a starter, however, so the wideout should be good to go following a bye week. In the opener, the receiver proved why he's the top wideout for the Huskies, reeling in four catches for 104 yards and a score.

Ethan Hampton - Solid outing in upset Hampton completed 10 of 19 passes for 198 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 16-14 win against Notre Dame. He also had five rushes for 21 yards.

Impact Hampton didn't rely on his usual receiving suspects especially with a heavy rushing attack, but he still was efficient nonetheless. The junior gun slinger found his sole passing touchdown off an 83-yard play to Antario Brown. He'll look to lead his team to a three-game win streak against Buffalo next week.
