Ability to high point a ball and catch anything in a wide radius around him. So I totally agree, he’s fast enough but will never totally blow the doors off the defense because of his speed.

We can definitely use him. Right now Hill is really the only guy that has shown he can take the top off the

USUs secondary has been deadly this year.

It was meant in general. We could beat USU with our backups.

He has run some great corners and outs. Has he on any fly patterns?

I don't really consider a 20 yard fade to be taking the top off the defense. But I guess if you do then more

this is not a deep route.

Yeesh. You are even more negative than TNT

I love Roberts. Not being negative at all. I just haven't seen him past the defense.

Keep watching. He's played 3 games. He will be an all-timer

Like I said, I love Roberts. I don't know how fast he is, but assuming he is fast he will be an NFL receiver.

Kimdaddy is not saying Roberts isn’t special, just that he doesn’t have the speed that Hill has.

It’ll be good for him to get game reps before the ND game as well.

I think Epps can too. He’s done well in my view.

I love Epps, I haven't seen us even try to go deep to him. He seems to be our quick slot type

Not sure if this qualifies as "deep":

He had him beat over the top but the CB was also playing the end zone. Hard to say. I mostly just miss

I have said the same thing. It is a great receiving corps. But adding another speed guy on the outside will only

Absolutely. Wish we had Puka and the tight end who decided to transfer too.

2004 had Todd Watkins and breakout Austin Collie. Not much behind them, though.

Dang it, Gunner's family, don't give USU scouting material.

Got to get him primed for ND and Arkansas.

Great news! Sounds like a painful and serious injury. Glad he’s recovering!

Good grief, maybe Kalani should sit him and avoid any injury this week.
