No.. the same group we had the prior 5... Grear no

 

[OneVolNation]

Their hands turned into strong football magnets. JG would pass it and even when it looked like the defense covered well, it was a reception.
I'm very impressed.

I think that Coach Williams the wide receiver coach has maybe got his message through to them.

 

[memtownvol]

Actually having a good receivers coach has the majority to do with the improvement.

 

[OneVolNation]

It feels nice to hear them referred to as among the best in the conference.

But wait.......but wait.......but wait.....Guarantano only ever stares down and throws the ball to Callaway. Why, how can those stats be?

 

[Volatility]

With all of the clutch third down catches, I’d say so.

 

[VOL 4 Life 83]

I’m just excited to see the receivers go up and attack the ball. Something I haven’t seen from our receivers in a while

 

[McDad]

Didnt CJP spend more time in practice with receivers this past week?

 

[vol-un-tear]

They are getting better along with JG.

 

[Alto1]

They are getting better along with JG.

JG put some AIR under those throws. Gave them a chance to make a play.

Kudos to him and the WRs.

There were some outstanding catches made today!

 

[UTK]

I think so. We actually called pass plays this game and JG had time to throw. Makes a difference.

 

[ProudVOLfan]

Great? IDK but they're absolutely better than a lot give them credit for.

Fingers repot said we were working on back shoulder throws. Paid off!

 

[CornbreadVol]

What's happened to b. Johnson?

 

[dcm3w]

We have a really talented bunch of wrs if our OL can protect like they did today. We could see a dominant WR Corp.

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

Took a huge step forward today but i wouldn't call them great yet.

 

[Catfishvfl]

What about a shout out to the oline for giving jg time to throw the ball!

Just like he’s been doing a year long.

I think you can chalk it up to coaching. Pruitt spent plenty of time the past couple weeks working with the QB and WR groups on the back shoulder throws and high pointing the ball, according to Fingers practice reports.

Through week 7 of the season (only 6 gms for UT), only Tua, Ta’amu and Fromm have higher passer ratings....JG is #4 in the conference, despite all the OL issues, despite the limitations the head coach and OC have put on the offense, despite all the other growing pains.

No turnovers in 5 of 6 games played..... 3 times as many td passes as ints......averaging 9 yards per pass attempt which is a very good number. His current rating of 154 is higher than any passer rating Peyton had for his career at Tennessee or for any single season.

Yet, I’m 100% certain their are still those that think JG stinks and are wanting to see Chryst.

I'm a Bama fan, but pull for the Vols, and Auburn when they're not playing the Tide......so was torn yesterday. That being said, I thought the UT receivers played lights-out. There were several plays when the AU DB had good coverage, and a UT receiver just went up, and pulled down the reception. I can't get over how much UT has improved since the start of the season. I expect Bama to win next Saturday, but they had better bring their "A" game to Knoxville.

I don't know about great, but they're big and Helton is finding out they can jump now. They used them in the right ways yesterday.

My Caddy Master is sitting right next to me. He is a Bama grad. I read him this post. He said you are NOT a true Bama fan and should EAD! His words....not mine. "NO true Bama fan would EVER pull for Auburn. Under zero circumstances...... unless your family's life depended on it."
