No Legit Threat at Receiver
Expectations were high for this receiving group coming into the season. Keylon Stokes is a statistical monster with over 4,000 career all-purpose yards, but the offense manufactures touches rather than him beating coverage downfield. Sam Crawford, J.C. Santana, and Josh Johnson also have numerous starts to their name, but no one really excites. This is the same unit that was at Tulsa in 2020 when the Golden Hurricane went to the AAC championship game, but without quarterback Zach Smith, this unit has seemed to lose its way.
