Next Game at Liberty · Sat 6:00PM
WKU -1.5 TOTAL 57
Totals 17 yards Messer caught two passes for 10 yards and had one catch for seven yards against La Tech on Saturday.
Impact Western Kentucky struggled offensively, and Messer's numbers suffered. Things should pick up next week against Liberty, but there is a reason to be concerned about Messert as WKU's number-two guy. He's only been targeted 14 times over the last four games.

Tallies 40 yards Johnson caught four passes for 40 yards versus La Tech on Saturday.
Impact These numbers aren't remarkable, but within the context of WKU's performance in this one things look better. Johnson led the Hilltoppers in receiving yards and also tied running back Elijah Young for the lead in catches.

Finds end zone Young ran 10 times for 24 yards and touchdown and had four catches for 21 yards versus La Tech on Saturday.
Impact These aren't good numbers, but Young scored the only touchdown for the Hilltoppers and led the team in rushing. Western Kentucky really struggled offensively in this matchup, but Young did what he could. That includes hitting 30 receptions on the season.

Struggles against La Tech Veltcamp went 18-for-26 for 152 yards and ran eight times for 17 yards against La Tech on Saturday.
Impact During the week WKU announced Veltkamp would remain the starting quarterback even with TJ FInley healthy. Then, he went out and had his worst game of the season. Maybe the Hilltoppers will rethink that vote of confidence?

Available as backup Finley (lower leg) is available and will be a backup moving forward, Kaden Gaylord-Day of WBKO reports.
Impact Finally, Finley is available around two months after a lower-leg injury took him out of commission. Unfortunately, that period allowed Caden Veltkamp opportunities to excel as Western Kentucky's starting quarterback. He took them stride enough to establish himself as the Hilltoppers' QB1, indefinitely relegating Finley and his overall upside. Unfortunately for Finley, he could not excel as Western Kentucky's starting quarterback, his lone highlight being one game in which he logged 27 completions for 351 yards and a touchdown.

Will remain starting QB Veltkamp will remain Western Kentucky's starting quarterback with TJ Finley (lower leg) available, Kaden Gaylord-Day of WBKO reports.
Impact While Veltkamp was Western Kentucky's starting quarterback, there was always the lingering fact of whether or not Finley would be the Hilltoppers' QB1 when he became available, considering the former got the top job after his fellow QB went down with a lower-leg injury. However, Veltkamp has risen to the occasion since Week 3, racking up over 2,000 total yards and 25 total touchdowns, pushing Finley down to a reserve role. The former will look to keep his pace up for at least three more games before Western Kentucky's 2024 season comes to a close.

Reels in TD Messer caught four passes for 69 yards and a touchdown against NMSU on Saturday.
Impact That's back-to-back games with a touchdown for Messer. He's built upon last season well, even if he remains in a secondary role. Through nine games he has four touchdowns, and his 495 yards are more than his 484 from all of last season.
NOVEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE
Catches TD Hutchinson caught four passes for 73 yards and a score Saturday versus NMSU.
Impact Hutchinson is all-or-nothing, making big splashes or not being involved. He has three games with over 70 yards and a touchdown, and three games where he has not even been targeted.
NOVEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE
Finds end zone Johnson caught five passes for 88 yards and a touchdown against NMSU on Saturday.
Impact Though the Hilltoppers aren't throwing the ball as much as in the past, Johnson is still putting up numbers like receivers from this team in the past. Through nine games he has 66 targets and has caught 46 passes for 645 yards and five scores.
NOVEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE
Rushes for 74 yards Young ran 16 times for 74 yards versus NMSU on Saturday.
Impact Young is a key piece of the WKU offense, but there is one concern here. Though he's rushed for 563 yards and added 247 yards through the air, he has only three touchdowns, and his only rushing scores came against Eastern Kentucky.
NOVEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE
Totals four TDs Veltkamp went 18-for-27 for 246 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions against NMSU on Saturday. He also ran 11 times for 25 yards and two scores.
Impact Veltkamp has had some turnover issues, but the WKU staff has tweaked the offense to build around his skills after TJ Finley went down with a leg injury. He doesn't air it out as much, but he still has 19 passing touchdowns and has rushed over over 20 yards five games and has totaled seven run scores.
