Impact Hudson caught a massively important touchdown Saturday, a seven-yard score with less than three minutes left to take a 10-point lead over the Tigers.

RJ Maryland - Catches another touchdown Saturday Maryland reeled in one of three targets for 43 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 38-34 win against Memphis.

Impact Maryland caught his seventh touchdown of the season Saturday, a 43-yard reception early in the first quarter. It was the only reception he made in the game but it was good enough for his sixth 40-yard outing of the season.

LJ Johnson Jr. - Leads backfield in win Johnson notched 21 rushes for 115 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 38-34 win against Memphis.

Impact For the second straight week, Johnson received 20 carries, went for over 100 yards and scored a touchdown. It appears he has taken over the lead in the Mustangs' backfield, as he dominated touches over Camar Wheaton (nine carries for 51 yards) and Jaylan Knighton (two carries for five yards).

Jaylan Knighton - Scores in win Knighton posted two rushes for five yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 38-34 victory against Memphis.

Impact Despite recording season lows in rushing attempts and carries, Knighton scored his sixth touchdown of the season, all of which have come in the past seven games. His role in the game was extremely small, as LJ Johnson (21 carries for 115 yards and a touchdown) and Camar Wheaton (nine carries for 51 yards) took up the bulk of the work. That does not bode well for Knighton's next game, a tough matchup Saturday versus Navy.

Preston Stone - Productive in Saturday's win Stone completed 15 of 23 passes for 286 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 38-34 win over Memphis. He also had eight rushes for 10 yards with one touchdown.

Impact Stone accounted for three touchdowns in Saturday's win, the fifth time in his last six games he has done so. It was a massive win for Stone and the Mustangs as now the team just needs to defeat Navy Saturday in the regular season finale to secure a spot in the AAC Championship Game. The Midshipmen have given up just 11 points per game in their last five games (including two shutouts) so it will not be a cakewalk for Stone and the offense.

RJ Maryland - Scores again Friday Maryland reeled in two of six targets for 40 yards and one touchdown during Friday's 45-21 win versus North Texas.

Impact Maryland scored his sixth touchdown of the season Friday and his fifth in his last six games. He was targeted six times for the fourth time this season and went for over 40 yards for the fifth time this season. It was a nice bounce back performance after being shut out last week at Rice.

NOVEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Camar Wheaton - Scores in Friday's win Wheaton totaled seven carries for 51 yards and one touchdown during Friday's 45-21 win versus North Texas.

Impact Wheaton scored his fifth touchdown of the season Friday and his third in his last three games. While he was seriously out-worked by both Jaylan Knighton and LJ Johnson, Wheaton was still able to have a productive day with his team blowing out North Texas.

NOVEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Moochie Dixon - Finds end zone Friday Dixon gathered in three of four targets for 99 yards and one touchdown during Friday's 45-21 win over North Texas.

Impact Dixon was only targeted four times Friday but turned it into his best outing of the season. He nearly gained 100 yards on three receptions and scored an eight-yard touchdown in the first quarter. He will look to keep this positive momentum going Saturday at Memphis.

NOVEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

LJ Johnson Jr. - Workhorse in Friday's win Johnson had 20 rushes for 106 yards and one touchdown and caught their only target for 12 yards during Friday's 45-21 victory against North Texas.

Impact Johnson led the team with 20 rushing attempts Saturday and it allowed him to run for over 100 yards and a touchdown for the second time this season. Jaylan Knighton also had a productive day, rushing 17 times for 129 yards and a touchdown. It will be a more difficult matchup for both of them Saturday at Memphis, a team which boasts a much better run defense than the Mean Green.
