Who are the speedsters on our team. Do we have any? That's the thing that can't be taught. I hope we're recruiting some.

Ladarious Bishop, think he ran a 4.35 at some point. Redshirting.
Jordan Jones has pretty good speed as well.

He played quite a bit against Vandy. He just can’t get open.

Having speed and getting open is absent with this group of players.

It is actually crazy how well our WRs did back in 2015 in terms of getting separation vs this group.

I saw him open on underneath patterns quite a few times but Storey didn’t.

The entire world saw him open down the sideline by 5 yards and Storey missed him.

We’d probably be significantly better with Morgan and Hatcher on this team. They’d fit well into this offense.

No question, 2 more wins at least with more reliable options at WR imo. Seemed like they would always get separation when we would need 7-10 yards on 3rd down. Really took it for granted.

Didn’t Jones get his fingertips on the ball? I seem to remember thinking he could have caught it. Maybe I’m misremembering it though.

When it came to inexplicably getting open out of nowhere, Morgan was one of the best we've ever had.

His footwork and route running were on point. Michael Smith was a really good WR coach. Nothing against Stepp, but wish we could have kept him somehow.

All of our best pass catchers in recent years have been great at at least one thing. Morgan had great hands and could always find the holes in a defense, Hatcher had good size and physicality, Henry is our GOAT tight end, Dominique Reed had elite speed, Hollister had great agility and was also 6'4

Now we've got an empty husk of what used to be Jared Cornelius, Deon Stewart who is severely undersized and doesn't have the speed that a severely undersized WR needs, Jordan Jones who quits on 75% of his routes if he doesn't beat his DB off the line, and Lamichael Pettway who looks like the only one that should be a D1 starter.

This incoming class can't get here soon enough.

I think that was due to us running the ball so much and the DBs creeping up to stop the run.

I'm sure that helped at times, but the plays I'm talking about were clearly passing situation like 3rd and 7+
