Official count is 8.

3 would have gone for TDs. 2 of those to Jefferson.

6 in the first half alone.

2, maybe 3, of which would have gone for touchdowns easily

RB- Etienne Soph All American at Clemson Pooka - Freshman All American over 1,000 yards BAD recruiting with both players. At least this season, we probably sign the two best from LA.


PLEASE leave this alone!! Besides they are not receivers which is what this post is about!!

They must have bad hands or bad hand to eye coordination. It seems that most of our receivers try to catch with their arms. Terrible practice/technique IMO.

Receivers baw. Seems to me what separates a good receiver from a Jarvis Landry (or Odell Beckman) can best be expressed in two words. Catlike reflexes. Along with an abundance of 'quick twitch' muscles. I mean you watch Jarvis Landry catch a pass while executing all kinds of contortions and you say - no way he could catch that. Catlike reflexes baw.

LSU has what I call decent receivers.....but not great. Far too many dropped passes. I'm afraid THAT will come back to haunt the Tigahs against A&M. You have to make those easy catches Justin. By easy I mean a precise on target catchable pass. IMO Joe throws those kinds of passes. Although Stephen Sullivan and Ja'Marr Chase seem to possess the ability to secure and finish a reception with some consistency.

Is it something about the way Burrow throws it? Some QBs throw a very catchable ball and some don't. It's been an all year thing.



When I see most of the WRs doing it, it tells me that it is a technique flaw and should've been addressed during practices with coaching.

It's been happening all season long which tells me either
a.) coaches dont think it's an issue
b.) dont know how to address the issue
c.) our wr's are incapable of learning proper technique

J Bro 12 is right on target. All year, our WRs “gator arm”. Watch Jefferson’s drop in the 1Q from a perfectly thrown ball from Burrow as a classic example. Ball glances off is chest without his arms being extended while running full speed. And he has been our most productive WR this year. Coach E claimed the strength of this team would be our WRs and raved about the coaching of that position group. I for one, was woefully underwhelmed.

the wr's need to be held accountable by the coachinhg staff. make them do steps, extra sprints or something after practice.Its a lack of focus and it keeps happening.Jefferson dropped two and sullivan drop one td pass last night.

At least 6 of the ten I can remember were drops. There may have been more.

2 huge drops at the end of the Florida game. That loss will be the reason we don't make the playoffs.

Like another poster stated, these receivers have catching the ball with their body all season long. That is coaching.

I laugh everytime I see Etienne playing. Went to Fl. St. to try to bandwagon a championship, bwahahahahahahahaha. But seriously, good luck on qualifying for a bowl game, Semenoles.

I’m with you on 9-2 but don’t act like 42-10 against Rice is an accomplishment worth framing.

That’s why we are DBU and not WRU!
