CLEMSON – A stat popped up last weekend that Clemson was just one of five Power 5 teams not to have a 100-yard receiver during a game this season. For a place that prides itself on being Wide Receiver U, and with the hardware and stats to back that up, it almost seemed inconceivable.
So what happened to WRU? Ask ten different people and you’ll likely get 10 different answers: The play-calling is suspect. The offensive line can’t hold a block long enough. The wide receivers aren’t as good as they used to be.
During our media availability with offensive coordinator Brandon Streeter this week, I threw that number his way, and the number that Clemson is one of the few teams that doesn’t have a 500-yard receiver on the season, and asked what in his mind has caused the numbers to dip.
