37% of our completions are to a TE or RB

[Big Hawk D-Port]

Does that seem high to anyone else? It seems like we don't get our WR very involved in the offense. I look back to Tevaun Smith last year, who seemed to be the most underutilized WR that I can remember.

By way of comparison 32% of Nebraska's completions are to a RB or TE.

Well, since iowa is not playing wadley and vandy has been stealing the show and i dont think iowa does have a dallas clark type tight end, yes, it seems high

 

[TJHawkeye]

I would throw more to the tight ends because of the regularity our wide receivers dropped the balls thrown right to them by CJ last week.

 

[jflores]

Nebraska's should be more, honestly. Cethan Carter is a beast at TE, but he has a habit of dropping an easy pass or two a game.

The screen game should just be killer, but again, the RB's get the dropsies or TA throws an errant pass.

I thought you were going to complain that 37% is too low.

2015 - 36%
2014 - 43%
2013 - 45%
2012 - 47%
2011 - 29% (McNutt best WR in B1G)

Wish it was more. Iowa also needs another TE to step up with Kittle. Dont think another TE has been targeted yet. Krieger Coble/Kittle combo was deadly last year

 

[David1979]

That really is not a problem for me when Kittle is a great receiving TE. He should be getting a lot of catches. Wadley should as well.

I don't think that seems high, I think it seems about right for us. I'm basing it on nothing but gut feel.

37 % to TE and RB's, that means that 63 % is going to WR's, so I don't see a problem. Throw the ball to the open man I always say. Besides, as often as CJ is getting hit I am surprised that he has the time to throw 63 % of his passes to WR's.

 

[Hawk68]

It seems low to me since we only have one proven WR.
