Receivers getting open is essential to turning the receivers around. Roberson is getting more comfortable and making the passes when they’re there. They’re close to really going off imo.

WR was another position where the coaching staff completely FUBAR'd the depth chart coming out of camp.

Players who can produce are finally rising to the top of the depth chart and statistics.

Where is the stat sheet where Rosa is the top WR and.....??.never mind.

Buckman and Porter have proven to be good productive transfer portal additions. Burns, the only transfer WR with multiple 500 yd receiving seasons under his belt, has been essentially a non factor.
I've noticed the frequency of dropped passes has gone down significantly over the last 2 games; I can't recall seeing one vs Rice, and maybe only a couple vs Utah St. Our WR room is not nearly as bad as it looked only a few weeks ago.

An interesting addition to this would be the number of targets each receiver has had. Also, just a guess, but I wonder if the overall average per catch (11.1) is a significant improvement over last year. Interesting, too, that only two tight ends (other than Joly) have one catch each for a total of 22 yards.

They raved about Drawdy in training camp but he hasn't seen the field. What's the deal?

Porter averages 16 yards per game on 1.7 receptions per game.

He too is a non-factor. Unfortunately.

Maybe they want to redshirt him?

Based off what I've heard from the game audio feeds, I wonder how much differently the games could have changed had the dropped/incomplete passes not been as prevalent. Maybe the play calls stay conservative, but several more catches here and there may have led to drive progression and perhaps a score.

He's 4th on the team in receptions, receiving yards, and tied for most TD catches. WR4 is about what I expected coming into the season. Did you expect him to be one of our 2 best WRs? Outside of the Duke and FIU games where he definitely was a non factor, he's been serviceable.
Porter's numbers also don't look as bad when you consider our leading receiver only avgs 48 yds and 3.8 catches per game.

All passing stats suck but they are trending in right direction so hopefully his numbers get better
