Receivers are perhaps the most underrated important players on a football team. Granted without a great quarterback to get the ball to receivers and without a running back to keep defenses honest an offense won’t go anywhere, but if the receivers aren’t good, offenses stall and are unable to convert long plays.
In 2017 and 2018 the Cougars struggled to have a go-to receiver with the best receiver being Matt Bushman both seasons with 520 and 511 yards. Over that time span the Cougars went 11-15 and struggled to put up a lot of points.
Generally, if a receiver has 800 yards or more in a season, the team probably has won quite a few games.
