MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — The Big 12’s reputation for big-play receivers keeps growing.
The last three Biletnikoff Award winners represented the conference. Since 2007, there has only been one season in which a Big 12 player was not one of the three finalists for the award annually presented to the nation’s top receiver.
So it goes without saying that Big 12 coaches are well aware of the talent the league has seen at the position. Even with that well-established, many believe this is the deepest crop they’ve seen.
“I would say so. You look at the game plan each week and say ‘We’ve got to stop that guy,’ ” said Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury.
