PROVO — When first-year BYU passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach Aaron Roderick joined the staff last winter, he had some serious questions about what he might see out of the receivers.
A year ago, the Cougar receiving corps was young and inexperienced — and it showed. The receivers struggled to make plays and score touchdowns as the offense, in general, was punchless and ineffective.
During fall camp, Roderick has been impressed with the receivers.
“Pleasant surprise for me has been our receivers. I don’t want to say I had low expectations but this group is better and deeper than I expected, at least they’ve been in practice,” Roderick said.
