He's previously demonstrated the qualities everyone praises, but at UCLA he showed them in spades and was crucial for the win. I hope he's getting 5+ catches a game from here on out.
It was certainly Irwin's first game with a significant number of catches.
Actually getting 5+ catches in each game is quite a lot, especially in the Stanford offense. Since 2008 we've only had one guy hit that average over an entire season - that was Montgomery in 2014 (61 catches in 11 games played). Ertz just about did it in 2012 (69 catches in 14 games). I don't think we'll see that, but I do think he should get several and hope we see a roughly equal number of catches from McCaffrey, Rector, and Irwin.
[Right now we only have 7 guys who have caught a pass. McCaffrey 12, Irwin 9, Rector 6, Arcega-Whiteside 3, Schultz 3, Taboada 2, Owusu 2. ]
