USF one of 6 teams to never have a 1000 yard receiver

HOT TAKE TUESDAY: USF Football Will Never Have A 1,000-yard Receiver

---

Never gonna happen.

Does that end this year? Last year Weaver had 715 yards in 10 games, thats an 858 yard pace over a full season. Not to mention on a team ranked in the bottom 10 in QB rating.

That's a meaningful stat?

Counting Ws, not receiving yards.

It's an interesting point, but I am probably more than okay spreading it around.

Slim chance it ends this year.  Too many WRs are going to shine and Weaver will get a lot of attention. GB will have to find other weapons to succeed.

Another one is USF has never had a 3000 yard passer, Grothe and Flowers each threw for 2911 in a season. Gerry wasn't particularly close last year and I think we run the ball a lot so doubt that happens this year

I think if CJS is going to be successful here, it may be.  His reputation is a WR developer- Renfroe, Martin, etc from Clemson.  Aside from Weaver and Horn, we have a bunch of guys with unrealized potential.  If he can develop one of these guys into a breakout season he can use that to bring in more higher end WR talent. If that happens, finding higher end QB talent will be easier because they will want to throw to the WR talent that is there.   

In the transfer portal era, we are seriously at risk of losing good players due to lack of stats.  If we see Weaver and Horn get 4-500 yards this year each, but have the talent to put up 800-1k somewhere else, there is a real risk of them leaving in order to put up stats and get drafted.  WR, RB, and QB all will be areas where we are at risk of this happening.  The incentive for a Weaver, Horn, Battie, etc to stay is that they will be able to put up the numbers to get noticed and have a realistic shot at being drafted.  Look at what strong did to D'ernest Johnson- if used the way he should have been, Johnson would have put up the numbers and most likely been a round 4+ draftee.  Instead he had to go RFA, and sit for 2+ years before getting his shot.

I think Bohannon will surprise us with 2500+ yards passing this year.   I am willing to bet that we will see more 2 RB backfields and a lot more passes to them. That will help bump up the stats.  Expecting a big year from Bullspen RB Battie this year!!!

So wait this elite offensive mind , elite offensive recruiter, and  co-oc /passing game coordinator has not developed an elite offense  as a head coach? Another stat showing how bad the offense has been under cjs. Shocked ...
