often made on relatively short passes for example. To your earlier post, Charlie did recruit a handful of elite receivers who combined w/an accurate QB to light it up.
Clausen didn't have a great deep ball in general (which hurt him as a pro) but his accuracy on the short and intermediate routes was tremendous.
Crist might have developed sans a pair of knee injuries, but the cupboard was pretty bare when Weis left. Rees, Hendrix & a 3d guy who never saw the field.
Kelly's first QB Golson was very good until he wasn't. Malik could not beat him or Kiser out. Kiser should have stuck around. Wimbush might have
been the most explosive athlete on the field but never looked comfortable as a QB.
Book needed a couple of elite WRs, and too little mention was made that our 3 projected starters were injured almost all year.
A big part of success this year rests on whether Austin and Lenzy finally have big seasons, whether Johnson gets his life sorted or one of the frosh is great from the go.
