This comment makes me realize how we've faced a great WR almost every week this year, so I have hope that we can hold Blackmon to 100 yds and 1 TD.
**note: rant begins here**
And I'm not trying to beat a dead horse. Really, I'm not. But this also inadvertently makes me realize just how bad Luck's WRs are.
Stanford's opponents' best WR:
Duke's Conner Vernon: 956 yds and 5 TDs
Arizona's Juron Criner: 956 yds and 11 TDs
UCLA's Nelson Rosario: 1106 yds and 4 TDs
Colorado's Tony Clemons: 680 yds and 8 TDs
Washington State's Marquess Wilson: 1388 yds and 12 TDs
Washington's Jermaine Kearse: 501 yds and 6 TDs
the University of South Central's Robert Woods: 1292 yds and 15 TDs
the University of South Central's Marquis Lee: 1143 yds and 11 TDs
Oregon State's Markus Wheaton: 986 yds and 1 TD
Oregon's Deanthony Thomas: 571 yds and 9 TDs
Kal's Keenan Allen: 1261 yds and 6 TDs
ND's Michael Floyd: 1106 yds and 8 TDs
Oklahoma State's Justin Blackmon: 1336 yds and 15 TDs
Stanford's best WR? Griff Whalen: 664 yds and 4 TDs (also TE Coby Fleener: 648 yds and 10 TDs)
If most of these teams can have 900+ yd receivers, how in the world does Stanford not even have a 700 yd receiver with the best QB in college? Short answer: our WRs are just not that good. You might say, "Oh, well Stanford runs a power offense so Luck doesn't throw nearly as often as these other QBs." Only the Oregon State, Duke, the University of South Central, Arizona, and Oklahoma State QBs completed more passes than Luck. Luck does have great TEs/Hewitt, but let's see just how great those TEs/Hewitt are next year without Luck. My inclination is to predict that they will not be nearly as effective (24 TDs combined).
So let's recognize how no QB other than Luck could attain a brilliant 167.5 QB rating, 70% completion rate, 35 TDs, and only 9 INTs with a below average WR corps.
Luck for Voldemort! ;D
**end of rant , sorry for another long message.**
