Against Vag Tech:
Jordan 11
Harley 10
Wiggins 7
Thomas 7
Osborn 6
Dallas 6
A few others at or below 3 targets, including Pope
While Brevin is one of our top receivers and 11 targets is justified for him, I am shaking my head over the 10 targets to Harley? Even with JT’s elite performance, we still aren’t targeting him enough. He still caught 6 of those 7 targets for lots of yards and 2 TDS. Just think if we target him like other elite receivers at 12-15 targets a game, even just 10 per game? Wow!
On the season, here are the % of team targets for our top receivers:
Brevin 18.8%
JT 16.5%
Harley 15.9%
Osborne 15.3%
...
Wiggins 5.3%
Pope 4.7%
It’s astonishing to see Harley become as much a focus of the passing O, while JT runs open on many plays. Not sure why Osborne is getting fewer looks than Harley. Also, the most targets JT ever received was 9 against UNC, and he is barely averaging 6 targets per game. Let that sink in...
As a comparison, here is how other FBS receivers are the focus of their offenses, even with other stud receivers on their teams:
Ffrench: 12 t/g 29% of team targets
Rondale Moore (left 2 games early due to injury missed 1 complete game): 10.8 t/g 22% ... was averaging 14 t/g before injury in addition to return duties.
Jeudy: 10.4 32%
Emezie: 10.4 26%
Lipscomb: 10.2 29%
Wallace: 9.8 37%
Mims: 9.8 32%
Surratt: 9.6 29%
There are other examples out there, but good OCs target their best WRs ~10 t/g which is around 1 pass for every 3-4 balls thrown. Meanwhile, JT sees ~6 targets a game and only 17% of the teams passes or 1 in every 6 balls thrown. Similar approach for Brevin. Unacceptable!
