Our receivers definitely had an impact but our QB play was very average. Appreciated Wilson’s toughness but he doesn’t throw well on the run, rarely remained calm in the pocket with his feet and couldn’t throw a “touch” ball.  His best balls were deep balls but we didn’t really have a wideout that ran really well after Dres (Butler-Byrd notwithstanding).

Rarely did we complete a ball when the receiver was in full stride.  Mostly just choice routes – slants/curls/outs.  Bottom line – Below average WR Coach in Stubblefield (heard that from a current staff member), Avg QB play, our most experienced guy – Scott – couldn’t stretch the field and Whit’s philosophy of not turning it over all contributed to an anemic passing attack.  Covey and Ty Smith starting…true freshman says all you need to now about the talent level last year.  Much better prepared to throw it this year…a little more experience and a lot higher, deeper, talent level!  Hopefully better QB play and a definite upgrade in coaching with Holliday all leads to a more productive year.
