You mean like when Jeurgens came down with the game-winning TD against Boise? Or the many receptions Blackmon had?

Nah, I'm talking about all the times our guys didn't come down with the ball.

I don't mind, I read till I reach my destination,
sometimes a newspaper, sometimes a book,
the money I save, this stuff is off the hook,

Got it, so you're ignoring the successful attempts. ;)

Sure. I'm saying that with less tall receivers, jump balls become less effective and Mangum might have some adjusting to do/more growing pains without guys like Houk and Matthews to throw to.

I think your referring to Jonah Trinnaman coming from Snow College?

Jonah will be a starter.

I think the outside receivers will be Moroni and Nick. Josh Weeks will be a backup to one of those guys probably. Inside will be Jonah T./Mitchell J./Trey Dye,C. Pearson. I think Akile Davis fills the roll of Terren Houk. Akile played TE in HS and is very similar in stature.
