a dawg at WR. We do have some playmakers, and these young guns will go and get it. But we're lacking physicality. I love my man Ridley, but he is way too soft. On that 3rd and 15 pass play that went for 31 yards he stepped out of bounds to avoid contact. I'm ready to see a receiver man up.

Would have been real nice to have ArDarius for 1 more year.

But, thems the breaks.

We have fantastic receivers. We're only using one of them.

I think our offense is pretty set at WR. I mean, the winning touchdown had a true freshman breaking a tackle to score a touchdown. Ridley had a buck 70 receiving. He went out of bounds because there were less than 30 seconds on the game clock. He was trying to play it smart.

I would say Ridley played it very smart there. We were down to our last TO and around 30 seconds. Don't take a risk and possibly getting stripped of the ball.

You apparently haven't seen any other catch he's made this year where he battles for every single yard.. he wants to score on every catch. Thankfully on this play, he had the game clock in mind.

So Ridley steps out on one play and he's too soft? Wow. We have some young guns on the wr corps. They'll beef up, but to call them soft is ridiculous. They need to catch the balls thrown their way. That's the bigger issue. Who was blocking outside on those sweeps in the fourth qtr against MSU?

Our offense is missing the ability to check down on obvious incoming blitzes. Right now, teams are loading the box on running and passing downs. I'm hoping that slant to Smith is a sign of things to come.

Kind of upset Jeudy hasn't broke out yet. I was expecting big things after the spring game.

You crazy. Our skill positions are air tight. We need better/healthier linemen.

There were like 40 seconds left in the game. He stepped out to stop the clock.

Staying in bounds to take on a would be tackler would have kept the clock moving. It would have stopped to reset the chains but then started again, possibly forcing a spike to kill the clock, leading to 2nd down. 2nd down could have resulted in a more conservative play call and ultimately led to a FG attempt.

What's our bread and butter on offense? If shite hits the fan, what's our safety valve?
