Colonel_Reb said:Saturday's Kentucky-Mississippi State game will include Lyons and Lance Long, State's leader in receptions with 21 catches, but for only 143 yards and a TD. His QBs and blocking have been bad or he would have better stats.
Huge understatement there, CR.
Here's a re-post from the Kentucky team thread. I thought I would put it here also.

Compared to Heisman candidate Calvin Johnson, Lyon's stats aren't too bad. I still haven't heard any All-American candidate or for sure Top 5 draft pick status for Lyons.
Through 7 games Lyons has 31 catches for 524 yds (16.9 ypc) with 8 touchdowns with a long reception of 80 yards in the MSM's "best conference in the country". He's averaging 75 yards / game receiving.
Through 8 games Johnson has 40 catches for 627 yds (15.7 ypc) with 9 touchdowns with a long reception of 66 yards in the ACC. He's averaging 78.4 yards / game receiving.
