The leading receiver battle between Notre Dame and USC couldn’t be more lopsided. It didn’t help that Michael Mayer was held out with an injury in the last game at Virginia Tech. Even if that didn’t happen, Mayer would have done little to close the gap in this matchup. Part of it comes from him being a tight end, but mostly, it simply comes from not having the talent of a receiver that NFL scouts are watching heavily.
The Trojans’ receiver in question is Drake London, and he’s blowing away everyone in college football. As Michael Chen wrote, he’s second in the country in receiving yards a game and fourth in total receiving yards. Perhaps the best thing to watch for in terms of competitiveness will be if London and fellow NFL prospect Kyle Hamilton go toe-to-toe on a 50-50 pass from Kedon Slovis. That would be a play everyone would want to see.
