How will we ever beat Mighty Tejas?

Your offense is geared toward throwing the ball more at a 60/40 split. Texas has a 45/55 split in favor rushing. So it isn't surprising your receivers have higher statistics for the year. That isn't really a way to compare the caliber of the player. Polk is good, no doubt. But no one objective is going to say he is better receiver than Worthy. Hell, Worthy in your offense with Penix throwing deep would likely have shattered some records.

I, for one, am thankful I didn’t have to watch him drop Penix’ deep passes this year

Worthy probably wouldn’t even start on our team.

That was definitely a problem last year. Turns out, he had a broken hand. He has very few true drops this year. Like Tyreek Hill, Worthy's speed and route running forces defenses to really adjust to him. He is a really hard cover for any defense and forces defensive adjustments that few receivers, even very good ones, can command. Odunze is definitely a more complete and well rounded receiver than Worthy in that he has way better contested ball skills and perhaps 90-95% of Worthy's speed. He is the only receiver y'all have that would be considered better than Worthy.

Cmon, if you really want to have a good football discussion you have to acknowledge that all of Texas' players are better even though they played in the most limp dick power 5 conference and still lost a game.

I never said that. You guys are the ones claiming every one of your receivers is better than Worthy. It is just ludicrous stuff.

I've lost count of the neutral/national people who think Washington's wr core is the best in the country. Distant second is Ohio State.

So yeah you sound like a fan boy going position by position and just stating as a fact that Texas is this superior, when the only reason they made it into the CFP is because ESPN needed Bama in there.

Your wide receiver core is the best in the nation. I haven't disputed that. But that doesn't mean that we don't have some weapons too. And you still don't have more than one receiver better than Worthy. We have two very good future NFL receivers and a big bodied glue guy that have the most playing time at receiver. We don't have a third guy at receiver like Polk/McMillan. Sanders makes up for that a bit, but he is a TE, not a receiver, and presents a different kind of matchup issue.
