Observation from the game...Wide receivers

Hightower made every effort to catch that ball. Kid laid himself out on the ground but just couldn't hold onto it.

No kidding but Brevin Jordan is our most gifted athlete on the offense. He’s a special player and looks more explosive than any of the rbs and receiver out there on that catch and run and at 250 that’s a problem tbqh and it’s alarming if I’m being real.
 
On one of the Rosier interceptions, there were 2 UM receivers about 3 feet from each other. Why is that? Did they run the wrong routes, or did Mark scheme them to those locations? Or maybe having receivers end up in the same locations is Richt's modern view of utilizing the route tree to what he perceives is his advantage? I watch a lot of football and I almost never see receivers on routes so close to each other. Sure does make it easy for the defense.

Everything Richt does makes it easy for the opposing defense. Which I think is the exact opposite of what an OC should be doing.
 
The first play of the game on O is prime example of what is wrong. The spacing for the wheel route was all wrong, the receivers don't sell their cuts for crap and the play calling itself is predictable. Talent is there. Execution is not.

Coaching is not . . .

It took Streeter and Johnson and Hurns and Berrios a while.

Valid point. I guess those guys showed some flashes at least. The only real thing i can give harley credit for at this point is his effort in blocking during his freshman year.
 
I was at the game. Everyone in the stands knew exactly where every receiver was going on every play. So, I imagine Wisconsin knew. I bet Richt thought he was going to blow everyone's mind with that fake dive pitch!

I'm telling, the plays he has needs to be burned and never used again. I saw that **** and was like, why do you even have that play in your ****nal. It just shows that the whole scheme just needs to be thrown away.

Our coaches care more about blocking than catching. It says something when ur receivers block better than the line

Are you telling me that overall we have worse receivers than those at Nebraska, Purdue, Iowa, and Rutgers? Don't believe this nonsense that we don't have talent at WR. We just don't have the coaches that know how to scheme them open and play to their strengths. People want to trash JT4 but people should realize how good he is considering he was able to produce in this garbage scheme.

Go look up the stats that Wazzu or Texas Tech's WR's have. Compare them to ours. Look at their scheme, look at ours. Look at their PPG, look at ours. Look at their average recruiting ranking, look at ours.

It's not hard to figure out who's doing more with less versus who's doing less with more. We have more talent, but are less productive numbers-wise than those other teams. Wonder why?

The WR are little dudes. You don't ask little dudes to just fight off man coverage that way. You send them in motion so they can avoid the press. You go bunch formation and make the CBs and Safeties have to communicate, otherwise you get blown coverage's. You use complimentary routes so that you don't have two WRs in the same area with 3 DBs. You run pick routes, that are well practiced to avoid Offensive PI. I could go on for days. The offense is not made for anybody to do well!

Cager, Langham, Hightower, Njoku and Ezzard aren't little dudes.
