Jojo Trader and Lofton are the key to beating A&M and a deep playoff run

You are correct, Marion., Daniel's and Toney will get the majority of snaps. We expect them to do their thing. But sometime you need those key role players to step up to the moment. We need Jojo to be that key role player when his number is called.

I understand what you are saying, but throughout the season Moore has kind of been that 4th receiver making those plays. I think he's the one who we need to step up and win on those occasional downfield 50/50 balls.

If everyone SELLS what they're supposed to SELL - the right players will be open or see a good number of yards wide open.

SELL. Like you're the man!
 
In a shocking development we will need players to step up

Yes, we need someone other than Toney to pick up the rains… Moore, Daniel’s, Upshaw(if healthy), Lofton, Marion, and of course Jojo need to step up and make plays…. Which they have to help alleviate the dependency on Toney who Elko like 95% of all teams we played this year will try and minimize his impact

We’ve got some nice paydays in that group of names… time to stop talking about potential and start making critical plays
 
I like OP’s thinking. They WILL be focused on Toney and probably trying to stop our run. Jojo is the forgotten piece, well cuz he’s barely played. If he can come in and land 4-5 key catches, and even a TD, would be huge. We need a game where jojo, moore and marion score and force them to to relax on toney and respect the rest of the wr’s.

Need lofton to finally have the game Dmoney has teased for two offseasons. A mix of strategic/creative plays for him, plus just using him as the emergency dump off guy that turns 3yrd dump into a 8-12yrd back breaker.

As we have opened up the offense of late, both Lofton and Bauman have played their best ball. With Upshaw out, we will need Trader to step up.
 
Toney has been the engine that runs the offense the past month. Teams from here on out will be focusing on minimizing his role. We have to pick our shots with Toney, but he can still have a huge effect on the game as a decoy. Other guys have to make plays when they are there.
 
With Upshaw out, it would be nice for Trader to step up. Trader and Lofton.

Marion, CJ and Toney know what they have to do. Fletcher is a good pass catcher too. I hope we use the RB
 
Would love for that to come true, but I don't expect it.

The reality of Trader has never come close to the hype of Trader. Relying on outlier events generally results in low probability of success.

Lofton I could see

Remember when we all couldn’t wait for Pope to get on the field?
Remember the 7 on 7 video were dude was saying “if you wanna win put noodles in”.
Remember when we all said he was gonna be a day one starter and criticized Richt for not playing him.
Remember when he finally stepped on the field it was a disaster. Remember him running lazy routes and dropping passes aimed at his numbers while wide open?

If jojo is who so many people keep saying he is then we would’ve already seen it.

The only thing I’m expecting from jojo is a limited snaps and mediocre effort and route running.
Looks great in practice running around cones and catching one handed passes. And that’s about it.
We’ve needed him so many times and he hasn’t delivered. How explosive this offense would be if he could just be an above average receiver.
But he hasn’t even given us that and people are expecting him to show up on the biggest game we’ve had in over 20 years but he couldn’t even show up against smu and Louisville.

Hate to pop bubbles. But dude is mid af.

And yes I hope this take ages poorly and I eat crow. But why are people expecting this dude to show up.
I expect his picture to still be on the milk carton by tomorrow night.
