Tate Rodemaker - Improved Week 2 performance Rodemaker completed 18 of 33 passes for 179 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 35-10 win over Southeastern Louisiana.

Impact After throwing for 126 yards and a pair of interceptions in the season opener, Rodemaker bounced back with a solid game Saturday. He still didn't eclipse the 200-yard mark, but he completed a pair of touchdown passes and didn't turn the ball over. It's also encouraging that Rodemaker threw the ball 33 times after attempting only 19 passes against Kentucky. Backup QB Ethan Crawford attempted three rushes and completed a pass in the second half of Saturday's game.

Impact Simmons led Southern Miss in receptions and receiving yards Saturday and commanded eight targets after only being thrown to twice in the season opener. The redshirt sophomore should continue to battle with Taquelin Mims, Dannis Jackson (undisclosed) and Davis Dalton for targets.

Dannis Jackson - Out for Week 2 Jackson isn't listed on Southern Mississippi's Week 2 depth chart and won't play Saturday, Scott Watkins of the Sun Herald reports.

Impact Jackson caught three passes for 42 yards in the opener against Kentucky, where he was a starting wideout for the Golden Eagles. Now, he's set to miss Week 2, and it's unclear exactly why. In Jackson's stead, other wideouts such as Davis Dalton and Dakota Thomas will be asked to step up.

Dreke Clark - Quiet in rout Clark posted six carries for three yards and gathered in all two targets for eight yards during Saturday's 31-0 loss versus Kentucky.

Impact Saturday's game was called in the third quarter due to inclement weather and Southern Miss finished with just 131 yards of total offense, so Clark's poor performance can be attributed to the all-around offensive disaster. Still, Clark was the only running back to see more than one carry, which could bode well for his fantasy prospects against lesser opponents.

Ty Mims - Negative yards in blowout Mims hauled in all two targets for negative three yards during Saturday's 31-0 defeat versus Kentucky.

Impact Mims was a non-factor during Saturday's weather-shortened defeat, catching just two passes for negative three yards before the game was called in the third quarter. However, Southern Miss accounted for 131 yards of offense, so there wasn't much opportunity for Mims to make an impact. As the expected No. 1 wideout, Mims should bounce back next week against Southeastern Louisiana.

Tate Rodemaker - Struggles in opener Rodemaker was 13-for-19 passing for 126 yards and two interceptions during Saturday's 31-0 loss against Kentucky.

Impact Rodemaker and the Golden Eagles offense were held scoreless in Week 1, though Rodemaker did lead a 75-yard drive that ended in an interception in the end zone. Still, Southern Miss ended up with 131 yards of total offense after the game was called in the third quarter due to inclement weather. While Rodemaker's performance doesn't inspire any confidence, Kentucky will likely be the team's most difficult opponent in 2024. The Florida St. transfer will look to bounce back against Southeastern Louisiana next week.

Chandler Pittman - Listed as wide receiver Pittman is listed as a wide receiver for Saturday's game against Kentucky.

Impact Pittman is listed as a running back on the roster and as a wideout in the depth chart, meaning he's likely to handle both roles at some point throughout the season. That said, he's not expected to be a starter, so the amount of workload he'll handle is uncertain.

Dannis Jackson - Starting Week 1 Jackson is listed as a starter for Southern Miss on its opening depth chart.

Impact Jackson bounced around the SEC before landing with the Golden Eagles, spending two seasons at Mississippi and last year with Missouri. However, he failed to log any catches as a Tiger last fall. Now, he has an excellent chance to be a featured weapon in Southern Miss' offense.
