Jalen Buckley - 80 rushing yards vs. HuskiesBuckley logged 16 carries for 80 yards and hauled in all two targets for 23 yards during Wednesday's 42-28 defeat against Northern Illinois.
ImpactBuckley logged his second-straight 80-yard game, though both games did end up being blowouts. Nonetheless, the 5-foot-11 running back has solidified himself as a nice compliment to RB1 Jaden Nixon, and the two have both reaped the benefits of a dominant run offense so far this season, and should continue to do so moving forward.

Jaden Nixon - Two touchdowns in loss to HuskiesNixon accrued 12 rushes for 95 yards and two touchdowns and reeled in his only target for eight yards during Wednesday's 42-28 loss to Northern Illinois.
ImpactNixon has been extremely dominant on the ground this season, especially against conference opponents. Although the game ended in a blowout loss, the 5-foot-10 ball carrier started out the matchup with a 66-yard touchdown run and punched in another later in the second quarter. He has been relied on heavily as the Broncos leading back so far this season, and his output should not change as the team takes on Bowling Green next Tuesday.

Hayden Wolff - Rough two interceptions in lossWolff was 14-for-27 passing for 179 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions during Wednesday's 42-28 defeat versus Northern Illinois.
ImpactWolff performed the worst he has all season versus conference opponents as the Broncos took on a gritty Huskies defense. The senior quarterback led his team to a 4-0 conference record heading into the game with some impressive performances as of late, but he wasn't able to come through against Northern Illinois. This tough defeat, though, does not not raise concerns for his ability to produce efficient outings in the coming weeks as the season closes out.

Broc Lowry - One rush, one rushing score in lossLowry had one rush for one yard with one touchdown during Wednesday's 42-28 defeat to Northern Illinois.
ImpactLowry wasn't very involved in the Broncos' offense in the loss to the Huskies, but he did come through when he was on the field. The 6-foot-1 quarterback now has three rushing touchdowns this season, and he could be utilized even in close games like this one was at least at the time of his end zone appearance.

Trayvon Rudolph - 74 yards vs. WMURudolph reeled in all six targets for 74 yards during Wednesday's 42-28 victory against Western Michigan.
ImpactRudolph logged his highest yardage total of the season since Week 1in Wednesday's matchup against the Broncos. Although the Huskies haven't relied too much on the passing game this season, the 5-foot-10 wide receiver does seem to always be involved in it when they do. He'll look to keep this momentum going this upcoming week versus Akron.

Telly Johnson Jr. - Two rushing touchdowns vs. BroncosJohnson totaled 23 rushes for 141 yards and two touchdowns during Wednesday's 42-28 victory against Western Michigan.
ImpactJohnson didn't see the field all season until Week 9 versus Ball State where he logged six carries for 48 yards, but that was not nearly as big as the game he put together versus the Broncos. The freshman running back punched in scores during the second and third quarters, adding to his already impressive 141 rushing yards. His high usage could have been due to starting running back Antario Brown going down with a leg injury, but Johnson should still be a huge part of the Huskies offense whether Brown is out moving forward or not, especially since the team relies so heavily on the run.
