Treadwell Question

"MegaQuon" has been fantastic this year. He has broken every freshmen receiving record we have and still has a few games left to pad those stats. As you all know, Treadwell has done much of his damage on short and intermediate routes. My question is, why hasn't the coaching staff looked to get him the ball down the field more? He seems like he would be a great guy to go up and get the football at its highest point. Is it because he plays the slot often? Or is it maybe because our offense is designed around short/intermediate routes? Appreciate the input fellas.

Been asking the same thing.... Dude is a legit threat downfield and downright scary

Probably because we have better options for deep threats and he's so good at breaking tackles in short yardage situations.

I'll ask Hugh and get back to you.

I think it's a combination of this and the fact that Bro really doesn't have the arm strength to make a lot of throws deep down field.

Because Logan and Moncrief are good downfield too. Treadwell is a monster at breaking tackles near the LOS against corners, and Hugh loves getting five and six yards a pop. Treadwell's just the best at that, so they get the ball to him as much as they can there.
