3.
?

Depends on our ability, or lack thereof, to run the ball. I'll say two, with a third at 800 or so yards.

OK, maybe we should start a pool, who will be first to 1000 yds and which qtr of which game will it happen???

I'm still scared about the running game. In Spring ball, the offense couldn't run against one of the worst rushing defenses in the country (our own). Not good.

We were one or the worst rushing defenses last year but I do think we will be a lot stiffer this year than last. Without question we will need to be predominately a passing team but that is not all bad given the talent we have in that aspect of the game.
I have confidence in our coaching staff that they will find ways to improve our running threat while throwing that pigskin all over the field.
Can't wait till Aug 30, look out Vandals!!

I'll go with BKauf in either the 4th quarter of SUU or 1st quarter of Cal Poly. :thumb:

Especially considering that Dline is our deepest/most talented position (outside of WR) according to reports out of Spring Ball.

:nod:

And the lb's should be pretty good too.

Not discounting them because I know they're pretty talented, but their job is always a lot easier with a disruptive DL.

Frankly, I don't care if we can't run the ball as long as we get the Ws. Gonna be hard to go 8-3 or 9-2 without a running threat though.

RECEIVING GP-GS No. Yards Avg TD Long Avg/G
Nicholas Edwards 11-11 95 1250 13.2 19 59 113.6
Greg Herd 11-7 67 1022 15.3 7 96 92.9
Ashton Clark 11-4 33 436 13.2 4 51 39.6
Brandon Kaufman 4-4 29 373 12.9 1 56 93.2
Cory Mitchell 8-0 19 310 16.3 2 43 38.8

This is the core of the receivers that propelled Mitchell to over 4k yards and a Peyton award. With Kaufman back full time, and it being unlikely that who ever is the QB will throw for over 4k it will be tough to have more than two 1000 yd receivers. So... which ones?
Edwards, probably yes
Herd, hard to exclude
Kaufman, definitely capable but the other guys now have another year of experience.
Clark and Mitchell, They will get their share... if they get on the field.
Tough call but a nice problem to have.

Padron threw for 3800 and some change his first full season at SMU, granted that was 13 games with the Armed Forces bowl. Considering our inability to run the ball, I'd say it's more than feasible.

Where would I look for the FCS records for total passing yards?

Nicholas Edwards, Eastern Washington, Sr., 6-3, 200 - A former walk-on, Edwards no longer sneaks up on the competition. He entered last season as the Eagles' No. 2 receiver, but then blistered the competition, hauling in an FCS- high 19 touchdowns (only one other receiver had more than 12) among his 95 receptions for 1,250 yards. Known for his conditioning and outstanding preparation, Edwards is third among active FCS players with 178 career receptions and first with 29 career touchdown receptions.

Brandon Kaufman, Eastern Washington, Sr., 6-5, 215 - Kaufman was the Eagles' No. 1 receiver ahead of Edwards until a broken hand ended his season prematurely. He caught two touchdowns in EWU's second-half rally past Delaware in the 2010 FCS championship game. That season, he caught 76 passes for 1,214 yards and 15 touchdowns. Kaufman uses his big body to be physical in traffic and long legs to get behind the secondary.
