Rarely does reading a stat fire me up… but….

I wondered what the rest of the SEC had so here is "the rest of the story".
LSU=13
KY=15
Arky=15
Vandy=15
Miss st=23
Bama=23
Ole Miss = 13


it is still impressive that Hyatt has more TD's than 6 SEC schools.

Edit: and what is up with Ole Miss only having 13? I thought Lane would ahve that high flying offense pumping out the passing TD's

Everyone keeps saying Tillman is our best receiver. Is he? Is it possible that when he comes back we will find that Hyatt has surpassed him? I mean the chemistry between Hyatt and Hooker is incredible. That doesn’t just go away. There’s a comfort level there. I guess it’s possible to have Tillman as the best receiver but Hyatt as the most explosive. Either way…it’s an amazing problem to have. Two of the most dominant receivers in the country on the same team.

They are saying that because of last year. Tillman will still be good when he comes back but Hyatt is having a better year this year than Tillman did last year. He (Hyatt) is our best receiver

Tillman is likely a better overall receiver if he is back to the level he was pre-injury. Size, speed, great hands and a history of winning 50/50 balls. In pretty much every one of these categories he is equal or better than Hyatt. Still, Hyatt would likely be the primary receiver on almost every team in the country. We are just truly blessed at WR right now. Wide Receiver U is back!

Hooker and Tillman had plenty of chemistry pre-injury, It may take a few throws to get that back, but I think Tillman returning is just going to be addition to the passing game, not an either/or thing.

Pitt Game
Tillman 9/162
Hyatt 11/73
McCoy 4/58

Hooker was already splitting up targets pretty well. I think the main thing is he just throws to the open guy, and so far our OL is giving him time to find it. Tillman is just going to make a problem offense even more of a problem if you are a DC. Basically Hyatt has just replaced Tillman as the primary deep threat. Hooker's progression on most plays, especially the stacked receiver sets seems to be middle, deep, dump, run. Maybe they switch back, maybe they don't, either way, we haven't seen a defense yet that can cover 3 good receivers without leaving Hooker a ton of green grass in front of him.

Kentucky fans seem to think that their secondary can cover these guys better than Bama could, and even if that is the case, there is a certain point where if you have good receivers and an accurate passer, you can kind of throw on anyone. That's really where Tennessee is right now, and it's only going to get better with Tillman back.

No one else has covered these guys, including Keyton, so I don't see why Tucky thinks they can.

I think a lot of it will have to do with play calling. Every play there is a primary receiver, who the primary receiver is depends on what play is called, how the defense changes pre snap and who runs the best routes. I suspect that we will find we now have (2) #1 receivers.
Think about this we can have Tillman, Hyatt, McCoy and Keyton (or White) on the field at the same time; how do you stop that as long as HH has time to pass?
