Senior Josh Love (37-61-0, 413 yards, 3 TD) is expected to play after being injured in the fourth quarter vs. Tulsa. Love has no turnovers. Reserve Nick Nash (5-7-0, 44 yards) had a 20-yard TD run vs. Tulsa.
Nick Starkel (41-64-1, 554 yards, 4 TD) made a splashy starting debut last week against a solid, but not great, defense. His presence and downfield acumen elevated the unit as he went 20 of 35 for 305 yards and 3 TD. Honing in on his overthrown downfield shots is key. Ben Hicks (21-45-0, 241 yards) is a quality veteran reserve.
