Devin Mockobee - Scores short TD in win Mockobee rushed 13 times for 26 yards and a touchdown to go along with three receptions (five targets) for 30 yards during Saturday's 31-29 victory versus Maryland.

Impact Mockobee, and the rest of the Boilermakers' rushing corps, were largely stifled by the Terrapins' defense, with just 40 rushing yards across 23 combined carries. However, the 195-pound redshirt freshman did manage to find paydirt with a one-yard rushing score in the final minutes of the fourth quarter, marking his fourth rushing score across five games played. Mockobee has split carries with top back King Doerue (calf) sidelined since Week 2, though he could stand to see more exclusive usage now that Dylan Downing is also expected to miss significant time due to a foot injury.

Dylan Downing - Expected to miss extended time Downing is expected to be out for extended time due to a foot injury, Tom Dienhart of GoldandBlack.com reports.

Impact Downing rushed eight times for 13 yards and a touchdown while securing both of his targets for 17 yards during Saturday's win over Maryland, but he apparently sustained an injury during the game. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return, but Devin Mockobee and Kobe Lewis will likely handle increased roles in the Boilermakers' backfield.

Payne Durham - Logs 100 receiving yards Durham recorded 109 yards and a touchdown on seven receptions (eight targets) during Saturday's 31-29 win over Maryland.

Impact Durham notched season highs in receiving yards as top wideout Charlie Jones (three receptions, six targets, 15 yards) logged a season-worst statline Saturday. As a result, the senior tight end served as the top pass catcher for quarterback Aidan O'Connell (30-of-41 passing, 360 yards, 2:1 TD:INT), including a four-yard receiving touchdown followed by a team-long 56-yard reception on the Boilermakers' final two drives. Durham has now averaged 4.7 receptions (6.3 targets) for 46.7 yards through the first six games of the season, though his production has been largely hit or miss.

Aidan O'Connell - Tosses for 360 yards in win O'Connell went 30-of-41 passing for 360 yards and a 2:1 TD:INT ratio during Saturday's 31-29 win over Maryland. He also lost one fumble and netted a 25-yard loss across nine carrie...

Impact O'Connell averaged his third-highest yards per attempt (8.8) and tossed for at least 360 passing yards for the third time in five games this season against the Terrapins. While the senior signal-caller struggled to connect with top receiving option Charlie Jones (three receptions, six targets, 15 yards) on Saturday, he once again established a consistent connection with tight end Payne Durham (seven receptions, eight targets, 109 yards), including a 56-yard completion to set up the Boilermakers final rushing touchdown. O'Connell's rapport with both Durham and Jones will continue to buoy his passing production moving forward.

Aidan O'Connell - Good to go Saturday Purdue head coach Jeff Brohm confirmed Thursday that O'Connell will be available to start for Saturday's game against Maryland, Tom Dienhart of GoldandBlack.com reports.

Impact O'Connell was able to suit up last Saturday against Minnesota after sitting out with an upper body injury during Week 4's narrow win over Florida Atlantic. The starting signal-caller did not have his cleanest performance while facing heavy pressure against the Golden Gophers, but he was still able to pilot his team to victory despite any lingering issues. O'Connell has completed 113 of his 173 passes for 1,199 yards and an 8:3 TD:INT ratio this season, and he may need to register another prolific passing performance in order to keep pace with the Terrapins' high-powered offense this Saturday.

Payne Durham - Grabs four catches in win Durham recorded four receptions (five targets) for 21 yards during Saturday's 20-10 win over Minnesota.

Impact Durham tied with wideout Deion Burks (four receptions, five targets, 35 yards) for the second-highest number of passes from quarterback Aidan O'Connell (27-of-40 passing, 199 yards, two interceptions), who made his return from an upper body injury in Week 5. The senior tight end ranks as the Boilermakers' second leading receiver in terms of catches (21), targets (300, yards (171) and touchdowns (two), though he has recorded more than 43 receiving yards in just one game this season.
