At what point do we maybe give some reps to another WR like Tyseer Denmark?

[PSUWrestlingFanSince2011]

Could our WR production really be much worse?

0 catches for Clifford
0 catches for Evans
1 catch for Fleming
2 catches for Tre

We have to try something because this just ain’t it right now. Some guys shine under the bright lights and I’d like to see some other guys like Tyseer get a shot.

Yep, Franklin needs to play the players that can help the team win, without over worrying about redshirts. Denmark seems like the best of the WR's not playing and we've heard reports from practice that are positive about him, but we really don't know if he's any better than the WR's that are playing. The whole group seems to need upgrading. Is there any WR on the roster that could see the field for un-high-ya? Or USC, or any of the top SEC schools.....

Our WR room is what it is but we just have to try something different I feel. If Tyseer or any other wrs that we have end up being just as bad then we live with it. But you saw when OSU took away Warren for most of the game we just couldn’t do anything in the passing game.

There it is. Game set match.

Don't know if Denmark is the answer or not. Talented kid, but as a prospect he definitely peaked his junior year. Not sure he's the kind of difference maker we need, but he deserves a shot. I hope he develops into a stud.

I'm really disappointed that Kaden Saunders didnt' really materialize. #55 prospect in the nation, and paired with fellow Ohioan Allar, that combo was supposed to be the combo to beat the Buckeyes.

It ultimately comes down to coaching. But our WR situation is as bad as I've ever seen from a program of this magnitude.

This is hardly new. It's why we lost to OSU last year too. It wasn't hard to see coming.

We aren't as good as they are. We haven't been for a decade so why would anyone expect to beat them?

Exactly. The double whammy loaded 5 star talent and now NIL and the outcome is as expected. We could have won, sure.

That stat of no WR td's in 5 B1G games is not only disappointing, it's shocking!

And until we beat teams that we aren’t expected to we won’t get the NIL support that we need.

If he is not even seeing the field, imagine just how underwhelming he must be…yikes!

Last year we lost because we threw the ball 45 times despite our QB throws being way off.

This year Allar was much better but the WRs were worse

All our WRs did yesterday was occupy a single Ohio State defensive back. They never got open. They caught only 3 passes. Franklin ought to pick a couple random cheerleaders and give them a try. Couldn't be any worse.

 

[Delcolion915]

Hagans. Period.

 

[Crusher1950]

Why Hagans was ever hired is a great question, he was never anything at Virginia just look it up for yourself

You needed a quality wr coach and you hired a bum from a perennial 3-9 doormat in the nations worst football conference. Period.

That's not how it works.

You know who beats teams they aren't expected to beat? Teams that lose to teams they aren't expected to lose to. Oh, and Georgia and Alabama.

How did Michigan win the National title? It started when they first beat OSU in 2021. When Georgia finally beat Bama their program took off. At some point you need to beat teams better than you if you want to take certain programs to the next level.

On the other hand, as suggested in another thread, we don't know how good some of these players are that aren't seeing the field. Ryan Barker was apparently not very impressive in practice and couldn't win the starting job. Turns out he's a gamer.

Did you see that 45 yarder? Bombed that right down the middle.

 

[pennstatefan111]

Barker has been a bright light this season but I would have kicked (no-pun) Riley Thompson to 3rd string punter. I'm so sick of his performance and inability to flip the field.

We don't win against USC without Barker.

How’d you guys like Tyseer today?

Yet we’re still 11-1 . — I get your point, but they’re clearly contributing, or we wouldn’t be in this position. Few teams have an elite TE room. —As for Denmark, his redshirt is safe, so he’ll likely play a more active role moving forward

Gotta get better receivers to start beating the big boys.

It was garbage time, but he went where no other wr had boldly gone ...to the end zone. Give him some plays against Oregon. Why not.

 

[fkkkjm]

Denmark wasn’t even open. Pribula made a nasty throw on that last TD. Not sure Denmark deserves much credit beyond the fact that he hauled it in.

That would be great but I don’t believe we’ll see it. The time for Denmark to play and get worked into the offense was about 6 games ago.

I think he will be playing more of a role now that his redshirt is preserved. They had him in as a punt returner yesterday as well.

 

[SR108]

I believe that all freshman are now available.
