For reference those tds are: Croney (1 rush), Jones (1 rec, 1 pass), and Pettway (3 rec).
That's still just 1.
Seniors (5): Pettway 3, Croney 1, Jones 1
Juniors (1): Allen 1
Sophomores (14): Purdy 6, Lang 4, Kolar 2, Milton 2
Freshmen (7): Hall 3, Shaw 2, Mitchell 1, Scates 1
[Defense: Hummel 1, Uwazurike 1]
I don’t want to be greedy but damnit I love Pettway and wish he wasn’t a senior. Not many players in recent memory that are sure hands like he is.
The 5 RBs combined have :
139 carries for 664 yds (4.7 ypc) and 7 TDs through 6 games
last year the combined RBs had:
156 carries for 685 yds (4.4 ypc) and 5 TDs through 6 games

It seems crazy to consider that our rush game this year is actually slightly more efficient.
He is certainly one of the most physical WRs we have had as well.
what a huge pickup in the transfer market. Underrated.
Imagining Purdy's senior year, once all this young talent on offense has seasoned, assuming the staff will reload on defense after this season... yeah.
Boing.
Boing.
I am a firm believer in the Process. It's showing itself.
Just have to point out...since DM and HB we’re both underclassmen, I suspect the stats were pretty similar last year as well.
Not enough attention has been given to the range of receivers making catches.
In the TCU game, Jones had 10, nine others had 1 each, Pettway had 0.
In the WV game, Pettway had 8, eight others had at least 1, Jones had 0.
Four with catches in the WV game had none in the TCU game.
Is it legal to have that many receivers? Fourteen in 2 games!

Just curious, how do you figure the defense will need to be reloaded? It looks totally loaded for next year to me, aside from nose tackle—and a guy like Bankston or a grad transfer could seal that deal.
I’m only worried about “reloading” the OL for next year—and two of the five look to be just fine and dandy.
