The House of Blue

He started. Looks like it is going to be a WR by committee this season with King being the only regular and a deep rotation for the 2-4 spots. Likely just going with whoever is hot and in the flow of the game as it progresses.

I think it also says a lot about Max Smith. Kent State new Collins had a nice game against UL so they took him out of the game. So Max just finds another receiver. Don't get me wrong the WR's get just as much credit.

He'll be back. Just not a great game for him. Luckily we've got about 5 guys that can lead us in receiving so its okay when a guy has an off night. Max is going to spread it around like good QB's do.

He was in a lot, but wasn't really open, i think he was targeted 3-4 times. 2-3over throws, that were catchable but it would have been hard to catch and one drop i would say. Boyd took every ones throws though, not a bad thing bc of the 100 yd game, but those passes would have gone elsewhere if not to boyd.

Just a FYI, Florida played TAMU, not mizzou.

I agree here, but then logic asks, "what was last week then?" I think Collins got to "high" after a good last week and didn't think he had to bring it as hard this week. He will be back this week.

it's going to boil down to what we are given from week to week.

Kent state was flooding the underneath zone with 5 and 6 guys. They only had 2 deep. Whereas the week before UofL was playing with 3 and 4 guys deep and sometimes just 2 or 3 underneath.

What does that get you? Against UofL it gets the slot guy catching a ton of crossing routes which is where Collins was rolling.

Against Kent State it gets you a ton of guys down the seam and on the outside which is where you saw boyd.

As much as some people hate to hear this, our offense is simple. We take what the defense gives us. Kent state was daring us to throw down field by flooding the underneath zones. We did that and burned them. UofL was not going to give up the big play and forced us to hit the shorter underneath stuff. We did that.

Within the offense, it depends on what the defense gives us to know who is going to catch balls.

Doesn't mean collins played any better this week than last or that boyd was better or worse. It means that Boyd was open more often and Collins wasn't.

If we protect our offense is REALLY tough to defend.

I could be wrong but I heard that he complained about having to block and said he didnt come to UK to do so in practice? If I were Joker he would be on the sleds 5 days a week.

If thats true I'm disgusted. I hate to tell him but he's not Jerry Rice.

My take on that was Collins was Max's 4th or 5th read on that play and Daryl wasn't expecting the ball at all.
