Georgia Southern tips off season at home against Northern Illinois
1 DAY AGO • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Cam Thompson - Huge 100-yard game against Cards Thompson had eight receptions (on 13 targets) for 128 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 25-23 loss against Ball State.
Impact Thompson went ahead and topped last week's season-best performance, with season-high targets, catches and yards against the Cardinals. The 6-foot wide receiver is slowly slipping into that WR1 man for the Huskies, but the coming weeks should provide a better indication on who will command the most targets for the team.
OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE
Antario Brown - Two touchdowns in close loss Brown tallied 11 carries for 62 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 25-23 defeat versus Ball State.
Impact Brown recorded his second game of the season with two touchdowns, which was more impressive considering he didn't have a 20-plus carry performance like he's recorded earlier this season. The senior running back looks to still be the RB1 in the Huskies' backfield, and that trend should continue when the team comes out of the bye against Western Michigan on Nov. 6.
OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Holst - Inefficient in start Holst completed 7 of 10 passes for 64 yards and one interception during Saturday's 25-23 loss against Ball State. He also had five rushes for 27 yards.
Impact Holst started and stayed in the matchup until the second quarter, where he was eventually pulled for starting quarterback Ethan Hampton's return. Whether Hampton jumped in because of Holst's struggles is unknown, but Hampton should be the man under center against Western Michigan on Nov. 6 unless the injury continues.
OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE
Ethan Hampton - Comes in at end of second quarter Hampton (undisclosed) completed 18 of 33 passes for 168 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Saturday's 25-23 loss versus Ball State.
Impact Hampton began the game on the sideline, but he came in towards the end of the second quarter and stayed in for the duration of the matchup. He wasn't very efficient, with a touchdown and interception, but his injury could be to blame. He's status remains questionable moving forward, although the Huskies will have a bye week before their outing against Western Michigan on Nov. 6.

Career-best 52-yard FG by Jackson Courville gives Ball State 25-23 win over Northern Illinois
Jackson Courville kicked a career-best 52-yard field goal with two seconds remaining to give Ball State a dramatic 25-23 win over Northern IllinoisOCTOBER 26 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Josh Holst - Starting again Saturday Holst will start Saturday's game at Ball State, SB Nation reports.
Impact With Ethan Hampton (undisclosed) still nursing an injury, Holst will get his second straight start Saturday. He completed just 47.8 percent of his passes and added 48 yards on the ground in last Saturday's loss to Toledo.
OCTOBER 26 • ROTOWIRE
Ethan Hampton - Not starting Hampton (undisclosed) isn't starting against Ball State, SB Nation reports.
Impact Hampton wasn't listed on NIU's injury report, but that appears to have been good misdirection from the Huskies, as their starting quarterback is still clearly nursing his injury that's held him out last week. In his stead, Josh Holst is starting at signal caller.
OCTOBER 26 • ROTOWIRE
Christopher Gore - Active Saturday Gore (undisclosed) is not on the injury report ahead of Saturday's matchup with Ball State, Skyler Kellus of the Northern Star reports.
Impact Gore was sidelined last week against Toledo, though he'll be back in action Saturday. Despite his return, the redshirt freshman isn't likely to see much of a role in the Huskies' offense. Gore's dressed for four games without seeing a target this year.
OCTOBER 26 • ROTOWIRE
Ethan Hampton - Off injury report Hampton (undisclosed) isn't listed on NIU's injury report, Skyler Kellus of the Northern Star reports.
Impact Hampton missed last week against Toledo, but the starting quarterback is set to make his return to the gridiron against Ball State. Hampton has tossed for 932 yards, eight touchdowns and four interceptions this season.
OCTOBER 26 • ROTOWIRE
Jake Appleget - Out Saturday Appleget (undisclosed) is out Saturday at Ball State.
Impact Appleget will be back on the sidelines Saturday as he deals with an undisclosed injury. He had caught just two passes this season so his absence will not make much of an impact on the game.
OCTOBER 26 • ROTOWIRE
Jake Seibert - Still unavailable Seibert (undisclosed) won't play Saturday versus Ball State, Skyler Kellus of the Northern Star reports.
Impact Seibert has yet to suit up this season. The redshirt junior made two of his five field goal attempts last season.
OCTOBER 26 • ROTOWIRE
Jaylen Poe - Out at Ball State Poe (undisclosed) is out Saturday at Ball State.
Impact Poe will miss his third consecutive game Saturday as he continues to deal with an undisclosed injury. He has 22 rushes for 140 yards and three touchdowns this season. His next chance to suit up is Nov. 6 at Western Michigan.

Christopher Gore - DNP for Toledo game Gore (undisclosed) did not play during Northern Illinois' 13-6 loss Saturday against Toledo.
Impact Gore's latest DNP is his first since Northern Illinois logged an upset win at Notre Dame on Sept. 7.
OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE
Cam Thompson - Season-high yardage in defeat Thompson posted five receptions (on nine targets) for 80 yards during Saturday's 13-6 loss versus Toledo.
Impact Thompson produced a season-high 80 receiving yards against the Rockets, making up for some lousy performances in the recent weeks. The 6-foot wide receiver's volatility still makes him a risky player stats-wise, but his involvement in the coming weeks should determine whether he could be a play moving forward.
OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE
Antario Brown - 53 yards on the ground in loss Brown tallied 13 rushes for 53 yards during Saturday's 13-6 loss to Toledo.
Impact Brown was questionable with an undisclosed injury heading into the matchup, meaning his 13 carries could've been increased if he was fully healthy. Nonetheless, the running back now has competition with Gavin Williams commanding a high amount of carries and pushing solid output out in the recent weeks.
OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE
Gavin Williams - 78 yards in low-producing loss Williams posted 16 rushes for 78 yards and reeled in 2 of 6 targets for 17 yards during Saturday's 13-6 loss to Toledo.
Impact Williams has commanded the bulk of carries for the Huskies in the recent weeks, but an inability to find the end zone has become a problem for the running back's stats on paper. The senior ball carrier now has 64 attempts for 305 yards and one touchdown in the last three games, but his lack of presence in the team's receiving game means touchdowns are what will need to elevate his output each week.
OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Holst - 210 yards in first start Holst was 22-for-46 passing for 210 yards during Saturday's 13-6 loss against Toledo. He also had 14 rushes for 48 yards.
Impact Holst's 210 passing yards and 48 rushing yards are nothing to be ashamed about, but they weren't quite enough for him to a get a win on his first start. The young quarterback got the start due to starter Ethan Hampton (undisclosed) being out for the matchup, meaning next week's man under center is a mystery at the moment.

Richter-to-Newton connection sparks Toledo in low-scoring win over Northern Illinois
Alan Richter and Jerjuan Newton connected on a 52-yard pass for the game’s only touchdown and Toledo defeated Northern Illinois 13-6OCTOBER 20 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Christopher Gore - Questionable Saturday Gore (undisclosed) is questionable for Saturday's game versus Toledo.
Impact Gore has appeared in three games this season and has not recorded any offensive stats. He is now questionable for the Week 8 matchup with Toledo, but his status should not have much of an impact on the game.
