SI article: Nebraska's Receivers Are Scott Frost's First Offensive Building Block in Lincoln

This is true, but great receivers may not do much with a bad OL (see last year), while mediocre receivers shine with a great line. I would much rather have the best OL in CFB than the best receiving corp. I am pretty sure any member of this board could have gained 1000 yards in the mid-90s.

This is an RPO/box count offense now. The best blocks are the ones you don't have to make, and great receivers enable that in these style of offenses. We would all love a return to form on the offensive line, but we don't have that line, yet, and while I'm hopeful by season's end to at least get a decent 5, we are a long ways off. At least we have other pieces to help stem the tide until those days return.

 
Remember when people used to brag about Bell/Enunwa/Turner being the best receiving corps in school history?

I believe our receiving corps now is significantly better.

 
Just imagine Enunwa and Morgan blocking downfield for this offense.

I'm more excited about our TE's than WR's. It'll be nice to see our TE's getting the ball while some WR's pave the way with some blocks downfield!  :D

2 of the best statistical seasons ever posted by Husker WRs were done last year by Spielman and Morgan.

Stats can  be a little misleading.  They had great receiving stats bc we were usually playing from behind and had an awful run game. The other WR corps had a good run game to help move the ball.

Maybe so but I still think this current crop is the most talented in awhile and he asked for statistics so, there it is.
