Last season a HUGE PROBLEM is we didn't have a legit go to deep threat outside WR. I didn't pay attention to spring football or fall camp, so I been meaning to ask y'all if we had somebody on the roster to be that guy this season. Looks like Worthy is the guy.

Brennan Eagles was a deep threat along with Joshua Moore to some degree last year. The bigger problem was we didn't have a QB that could throw an accurate deep ball consistently. This year Worthy, JWhitt, Dixon, and Moore can all be used as deep threats.

Josh Moore was basically an inside WR last season & Eagles was a big disappointment.

Was watching this clip from late April:


The Texas Longhorns landed a big time transfer in Xavier Worthy from Michigan. Let's break down his tape and find out why he is a much needed addition to our wide receiver room.

According to the 2:11 time mark, Sark was openly hinting that we lacked deep threat speed at WR during Spring Football.

So did any of y'all compare UT's first 2 games & Auburn's first 2 games and wished we had hired Bryan Harsin as head coach instead of Sark? I definitely did & will be keeping up with Harsin at Auburn.

No bueno regarding Harsin.
Why? The only issue with Harsin is he isn't a proven big time recruiter like Sark proved himself at USC.

Herman also handicapped his receivers by making them add on so much muscle.
