I don't see CJB leaving... He's pot committed now. I could have seen him going home to TN at say the end of spring ball if he felt like he was getting a raw deal or just plain wanted to play. Tennessees Qb situation isn't very good to say the least and him going home with the stud WRs they have would make too much sense. But since he didn't pull that trigger before this year started I don't see him doing it. He's in the same situation if he stays or goes pretty much playing time wise now. With the upside of just one snap away from being the man at any point this year or next.
That said I worry about WRs possibly leaving namely Willies.. If I'm a WR why would you come here or stay? They didn't target one in the first half of that game. Didn't even consider throwing the ball 15 yards down field or more till they were down 3 scores late. Smith going into his senior year next year if nothing changes will have wasted a couple years where he could have made a heck of a name for himself. He's got NFL athleticism and size for a receiver. Since he's only got 1 year to play I doubt he leaves but the sky is the limit for Willies. Will he get used even a fraction of what he should going forward?
I could see him looking at things and saying this style of offense and qb just won't cut it. Now that said he could be just coming into his own his JR year when Beathard is a SR and maybe that could be a heck of a pairing. Assuming Davis isn't calling the shots then.
I look at a team like MD and they have a guy like McCardell as their WR coach. They have a stud of a receiver in Diggs and they found all kinds of ways to use him with qbs that nobody is going to argue are going to see an NFL training camp... Why is it that with receivers like Smith Powell and Willies that we are so stubborn with the predictable dink and dunk offense that defenses can just squat on. I won't complain too much about using our TEs as much as they have that's fine to an extent. But in todays college football you have to stretch the field too if for no other reason then to get the safetys out of the box and just sitting on predictable routes. It's one thing to not complete a deep ball all day but they never even attempted one!!!
Iowa had 32 completions in this game with an avg of 9.9 yards per..... That just don't cut it..
