Yes. DW or Coates will hit 1,000 IMO. An entire off-season will work wonders in the passing game.

Would be nice to have two, plus a 1000yd rusher.

If DQ lives up to 70% of his hype (and stays in line off the field), he'll have 1000+

I believe so... Other teams will stack the box and we'll have a lot of one on one coverages... Hopefully Marshall's accuracy will be improved, if so he will put up big numbers.

Having another threat besides Coats should really help us to get there.

No, but we will have two 700 yard receivers.

I think Duke will take some of the targets away from Coates, but with an off season to work on timing and routes, its possible. Another factor will be margin of victory this year.

Coates 750+ yards
Duke 925+ yards

Sammie was not targeted like a usual #1 WR because we ran the ball so much. He caught 42 passes in 14 games. That's only 3 catches a game and ranked 188 in the nation in passes caught in 2013. Will he do that again? Yes if not more even if he is the #2 WR. They key with him is he was 3rd in the nation with a 21.5 YPC Avg. If he can duplicate that he will be near 1000. He had 900 in 2013.

I expect Dook to be the the #1 WR and have the most catches. If he only catches 1.5 more balls than Sammie per game in 14 or 15 games that's 63 to 68 catches in the season. That's doable IMO. With a doable 16 YPC Avg given his skills set you're looking at 945 to 1,088 yards receiving.

My bold prediction. AU throws off and Bar-b-ques the piggies in game 1 by having each Dook and Coates go over 100 receiving yards and a TD.

This right here. There is no room for mercy and I hope he learned his lesson. I thought for sure he did after the UGA game, but I think he let up in the NC and allowed momentum to go in favor of FSU.

I could be wrong, but it felt exactly like the UGA game. First half in both games was a good of football that a team could play. Then it was like a totally different vibe in the third quarters.

No mercy... Especially against the piggies. If we can hang 100 on them, I'd love to see a 2 pt. conversion to make it 101.

No, we have to many weapons and are to good in all aspects of the offense to have a 1000 yard wide reciever.

This is a good thing.

I think we have two WR with over 750 yards and a thrid around 450 - 550 plus running backs and Nick M. will pile up the rushing yards.

It's possible. I would bet on 2 1,000 yard rushers though.

Louis could have easily added another 200 yards to his total.
