Hunter Watson throws for 229 yards, 2 TDs, Sam Houston beats Rice 34-14
Hunter Watson threw two touchdown passes and Sam Houston scored twice in 50 seconds to defeat Rice 34-14 in a season-opening matchupSEPTEMBER 1•ASSOCIATED PRESS
Ife Adeyi - Finds end zoneAdeyi caught five passes for 63 yards against Rice on Saturday.
ImpactAdeyi played in three games last season before missing the rest of the year with an injury. The Sam Houston offense was really struggling to get going during that time after the move up from the FCS. We still have yet to really see what Adeyi can be at the FBS level.

Qua'Vez Humphreys - Catches TD in openerHumphreys caught three passes for 93 yards and a touchdown versus Rice on Saturday.
ImpactHumphreys missed all of last season with a broken foot. He had a 67-yard catch in this game. Seems like his foot is just fine.

John Gentry - Rushes for TDGentry ran the ball 14 times for 56 yards and a touchdown versus Rice on Saturday.
ImpactGentry served as a secondary piece in this offense in 2023, his first collegiate action since spending the 2021 season with Utah State. He only ran for 391 yards and three touchdowns, but added 36 catches for 271 yards and two scores. What is notable is that Memphis transfer Jay Ducker, who some thought might unseat Gentry as the top back for the Bearkats, only had seven carries for 20 yards.
AUGUST 31•ROTOWIRE
Hunter Watson - Impresses in first startWatson went 16-for-27 for 229 yards and two touchdowns against Rice on Saturday. He also ran 14 times for 57 yards.
ImpactWatson somewhat surprisingly won a three-way quarterback battle to start for the Bearkats. Not only that, but he was the only quarterback to get any snaps in this one. Rice isn't exactly a juggernaut, but it is an AAC team that won six games last season. This is a very encouraging beginning to his time as SHSU's starter.
