It was interesting to see teams adjust after the SDSU game to the primitive route running. Only so many times you can go to the well. I understand why that one deep route is run, because it cannot be intercepted, but someday three and outs have to be treated as at least half a turnover.
Ok, after I first read this I thought, What? no play makers at WR and primitive route running. Then I realized the source. MD you are clueless. This group of WR's is a very good one. Just a few facts below, again proving people like MD have no idea what they are talking about!!! Please stop posting.
FOUR FOR 100: D.J. Brown became the fourth Huskie receiver this season to record a 100-yard receiving game with 104 yards versus Eastern Michigan, joining Chad Beebe who tallied 124 yards at Bowling Green, and Christian Blake and Spencer Tears, who recorded 160 and 105 yards, respectively, at San Diego State.
It's the first time in NIU's FBS history that four different Huskie receivers have tallied a 100-yard receiving game in the same season. In 2015, three different Huskies (Kenny Golladay, Tommylee Lewis and Jawaun Brescacin) each had 100-yard receiving games.
FOUR OF A KIND: NIU has four receivers with 300 yards or more receiving yards.
The last time NIU had that many players with as many receiving yards for the season was in 2011 when Martel Moore, Nathan Palmer, Perez Ashford and Da'Ron Brown hit the mark. Spencer Tears leads the way with 408 yards, while Chad Beebe is next with 390, followed closely by Christian Blake with 378. D.J. Brown leads the Huskies in receptions with 35 for 333 yards.
GOING DEEP: Six Huskie players have caught a pass of 50 yards or longer in 2017, another sign of the depth of the NIU receiving corps. Spencer Tears (81 yards), Chad Beebe (73), Jauan Wesley (70), D.J. Brown (69), Christian Blake (50) and Shane Wimann (50) all have at least one long reception with Wesley's 70-yarder from Daniel Santacaterina versus Ball State the most recent.
