WESTERN KENTUCKY HILLTOPPERS NEWS

Malachi Corley - Ten catches and a TD Corley caught 10 passes for 171 yards and a touchdown against Sam Houston on Saturday.

Impact This is the kind of game many expected to see more of from Corley after his big year in 2022. However, he does have 69 catches for 911 yards and 10 touchdowns through 10 games. Most receivers would be quite happy with that.

Elijah Young - Rushes for 55 yards Young ran 15 times for 55 yards and had one catch for 20 yards against Sam Houston on Saturday.

Impact The last few weeks Young has actually given the Hilltoppers a run game. Though he didn't do great in this matchup, if he is involved against FIU in WKU's season finale, that could pay off for him.

Austin Reed - Mixes good with bad against SHSU Reed went 28-for-41 for 392 yards, three touchdowns, and four interceptions against Sam Houston on Saturday.

Impact Well, four interceptions are always going to temper enthusiasm. On the other hand, his 392 yards and three touchdowns were beneficial, and he's now over 3,000 yards on the season with a game against FIU and likely a bowl game left.

Malachi Corley - Catches TD Corley caught four passes for 10 yards and a touchdown versus UTEP on Saturday.

Impact This was not a Corley issue. For whatever reason, the Hilltoppers couldn't solve UTEP through the air. Austin Reed went 11-for-20 for 102 yards with one touchdown, which went to Corley. The score salvaged his day, and this should prove a fluke.

NOVEMBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Elijah Young - Rushes for two touchdowns Young ran 12 times for 139 yards and two touchdowns against UTEP on Saturday.

Impact This is odd. It's unusual for a WKU back to have 12 rushing attempts, much less run for over 100 yards. Young carried the Hilltoppers offense this week, which may get him more touches going forward, but one assumes this remains a pass-first offense that just needed to rely on the run this one time.

NOVEMBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Austin Reed - Worst game of the season Reed went 11-for-20 for 102 yards, one touchdown, and one interception against UTEP on Saturday.

Impact As per usual, the Hilltoppers went out there and won with...running the ball? This was a strange game for the WKU passing offense and Reed. He had previously not thrown fewer than 34 passes in a game, and hadn't had fewer than 207 yards. One assumes this won't happen again. Otherwise, something weird is happening for the Hilltoppers.

Blue Smith - Two targets in return Smith (undisclosed) did not catch either of his two targets in Tuesday's game against Liberty.

Impact Smith has been out for the last handful of games with an undisclosed injury. He didn't make much of an impact, but at least he was able to get out there and try to work himself back into shape. Smith should see more targets next week against UTEP.

Malachi Corley - Scores two TDs Corley caught six passes for 62 yards and two touchdowns against Liberty on Tuesday.

Impact The yardage wasn't great, but two touchdowns certainly delivered the goods, as did the six catches for many fantasy players out there. While it feels like Corley has stepped down from his 101 catches, 1,293 yards, and 11 touchdowns last season, that was in 14 games. Through seven games this year he has 49 catches for 652 yards and seven scores. He's actually been even better, if less consistent.

OCTOBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

River Helms - Catches another TD Helms caught three passes for 76 yards and a score against Liberty on Tuesday.

Impact In college football, when a tight ends strings two good games together, it garners attention from fantasy-minded folks. Indeed, Helms has had at least 50 yards and a score in each of his last two outings.

OCTOBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Elijah Young - Catches TD Young ran eight times for 61 yards and caught four passes for 58 yards and a score against Liberty on Tuesday.

Impact Young transferred in from Missouri, which was an interesting choice as WKU does not use its running backs much. Indeed, even with the SEC cache, Young has 47 catches for 187 yards this year. Also, he may have come up big through the air here, but he has 66 receiving yards total on the season.

OCTOBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Austin Reed - Throws four TDs, INT Reed went 30-for-44 for 365 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception against Liberty on Tuesday.

Impact This is the kind of game we have come to expect from Reed, but have seen fewer of this year. In fact, this is only his second game with over 300 yards passing. Now, through eight games Reed has 2,273 yards, 20 touchdowns, and five interceptions, so you can't complain. It's just clearly been a reality check for this passing offense.
