We're spreading the ball around so far in the passing game

Four guys are getting plenty of looks. Really 5 if you count Calvin Ridley.
Kenyan Drake 7 catches for 139 yards and a TD
OJ Howard 7 catches for 108 yards
Robert Foster 8 catches for 99 yards and 2 TDs
ArDarius Stewart 10 catches for 65 yard
Calvin Ridley 7 catches for 59 yards
Stewart and Ridley have bad yards per catch, but they're getting targeted at least.

howard has been playing great. hopefully he can be relied on in 3rd down when we are in some of these tight sec games

Kiffin does a tremendous job getting guys involved. Exact opposite of Nussmeier in that regard.

I wouldn't say Nussmeier did a bad job of getting guys involved. In 2013 4 guys all had pretty good stats receiving. But he never really fed a hot hand or tried to get someone hot. His play calling was pretty boring tbh. I've definitely preferred Coach Mac and Kiffin to Nussmeier.

Thing I hated about Nussmeier was that his ice cream was flavored vanilla in the most critical moments all year.

Ridley is Bateman's favorite target, I'd bet he's his most targeted WR so far this season.
Ridley and Stewart's YPC sucks because Bama's screen game does, negating some of their better plays in their average.

On fans day it seemed like Ridley was targeted every time he was in the pattern; particularly when Bateman, Morris, or Barnett was the QB

Will be interesting to see how the media spins it at the end of the year. Last year it was, "Cooper has X number of receptions and no one else is within 30 of him, all you have to do is shut down Cooper". I'm thinking this year it will be, "the Bama passing attack is underwhelming, no one has over X number of receptions".

Definitely. I'm sure it'll go up as the season progresses, they've got just about all the yardage they can on the catches they've had. Hopefully we don't try to force the screens and let them get the ball in other ways.

Someone in that group will step up and be our go to guy this year.
