Riley, who has made a pair of TD catches in 2023, did not have a rushing attempt since gaining seven yards on three carries in the season opener against Louisiana-Monroe.

Bryson Daily, who leads the Black Knights with 817 rushing yards and seven scoring runs, registered 94 yards and a TD on 22 carries in the victory against Coastal Carolina. The junior quarterback has rushed for at least 80 yards in five contests this season, including each of the last three.
