White WRs/TEs 2009

[Colonel_Reb]

A couple of huge performances were put up by Dixie State WRs Nash Fowler and Kyser Christensen this weekend. Nash led all receivers in the game with 8 receptions for 144 yards and a TD, while Kyser also had 8 grabs for 136 yards and a TD!

The next closest receiver in the game had 75 yards.

 

[Colonel_Reb]

San Jose State WR Kevin Jurovich was far and away the most impressive offensive player in the game against Utah. The black CB was being beaten so much that he interfered with him twice on one 4th quarter drive. Kevin had a game high 8 catches for 146 yards.

Utah WR John Peel had 4 catches for 49 yards.

Update for National leaders in the "Year of the White Receiver":

Greg Salas - 14 for 375 & 2 TDs (1st)
Eric Decker - 19 for 296 & 0 TDs (3rd)
Blair White - 16 for 267 & 2 TDs (5th)
Jordan Shipley - 15 for 241 & 1 TD (8th)
Ryan Whalen - 13 for 197 & 2 TDs (16th)
Riley Cooper - 10 for 187 & 1 TD (23rd)
Max Komar - 7 for 179 & 1 TD (T29th)
Kevin Jurovich - 12 for 177 & 0 TDs (31st)
Derek Moye - 9 for 173 & 1 TD (34th)
Brett Hamlin - 15 for 165 & 0 TDs (39th)
Andrew Brewer - 8 for 163 & 1 TD (40th)
Ryan Wolfe - 14 for 158 & 0 TDs (T44th)
Scotty McKnight - 15 for 152 & 2 TDs (47th)
McKay Jacobson - 7 for 148 & 2 TDs (50th)

There are also many of our guys right on the fringe of the top 50 as well. That's 4 out of the top 10 & 14 out of the top 50. 40% and 28% respectively. So how is it that there are only a handful of starting whites in the NFL? hmm.

 

[GreatLakeState]

Brian Anderson from Central Michigan should crack that list soon, has 135 yards but first game was a slow one at Arizona.

 

[DixieDestroyer]

Awesome stuff!

[celticdb15]

Decker just scored his second td of the day after running a beautiful route(post corner)and sure had a lot of seperation for being a "possession" receiver! Cmon Gophers pull the upset! Edited by: celticdb15

 

[celticdb15]

Dane Sanzenbacher has two td receptions from Pryor but Lou Holtz chooses to ignore that fact and claims Terrell Pryor is responsible"to give credit where credit is due, Ohio State is up because of his leadership". Cmon Lou quit being a tool. Sanzenbacher has a td reception in every highlight i have seen of OSU yet barely gets praised for his actions. The other announcer claims Pryor reminds him of Matt Jones in college. Uh oh here comes the NAACP, you cannot compare an athletic black to an athletic white especially if the white is a "coke head".

 

[Manifest Destiny]

The other announcer claims Pryor reminds him of Matt Jones in college. Uh oh here comes the NAACP, you cannot compare an athletic black to an athletic white especially if the white is a "coke head".

To be honest that's a really good comparison. Of course that also means that Pryor is more suited as a wideout, but I think he's a better passer than Jones is. I doubt he'll make it in the NFL much in the same way Vince Young hasn't done much but he does have some great athleticism and a strong arm.

[Riddlewire]

Iowa State - Jake Williams (JR) WR - 4 catches, game-high 51 yards, 1TD (the only TD reception for ISU in their victory over Kent State)

 

[backrow]

unfortunately Rob Gronkowski will have a surgery on his back and miss the rest of the season.

 

[Riddlewire]

Western Kentucky - Jack Doyle (FR) TE - 3 catches, 27 yards in WKU's loss to Central Arkansas.
Doyle has been a consistent target (4rec/4rec/3rec) for a horribly overmatched WKU team this season.

 

[celticdb15]

WKU is sure having a tough time transitioning to the FBS level.. Once your there can you be moved back down to the FCS? Or do you stay there no matter what your record is because of enrollment?

Celtic, there is no enrollment requirement, as Wake Forest has only about 4,500 undergrads (same size as some high schools). There are a number of standards, one of which is average home attendance of at least 15,000 I think. I know Middle Tennessee State was in danger of falling below this number for two seasons in a row a few years back, which would require a demotion to FCS. Somehow they were able to boost attendance with concerts after the game and such.

Update for National leaders in the "Year of the White Receiver":

Greg Salas - 20 for 479 & 4 TDs (1st)
Eric Decker - 27 for 415 & 2 TDs (3rd)
Blair White - 22 for 342 & 4 TDs (9th)
Jordan Shipley - 26 for 314 & 1 TD (15th)
Ryan Wolfe - 23 for 288 & 0 TDs (20th)
Kevin Jurovich - 21 for 280 & 0 TDs (22nd)
Ryan Whalen - 16 for 260 & 2 TDs (30th)
McKay Jacobson - 9 for 259 & 3 TDs (32nd)
Max Komar - 12 for 257 & 1 TD (33rd)
Dane Sanzenbacher - 9 for 241 & 3 TDs (39th)
Andrew Brewer - 12 for 236 & 2 TDs (40th)
Scotty McKnight - 20 for 227 & 2 TDs (45th)

Riley Cooper, DJ Woods, Austin Kelly, Derek Moye, Brett Hamlin & Dennis Pitta are just outside of the top 50.

The amount of whites that are "allowed" to star in college is still significantly higher than that of the NFL. This is further proof that the whites that made the purge for HS to college get purged from college to the NFL.

 

[backrow]

thanks for the update Freethinker!
it's also worth noting that Shipley has another TD to his name, on a punt return, i am not sure if any of the other guys also return kicks as i don't follow college football as close as i'd like!

 

[Deadlift]

Kyle Rudolph has 13 catches for 162 yards so far this season.

With Michael Floyd breaking his collar bone, it's inevitable that Rudolph will get targeted more by the QB.

 

[celticdb15]

Garret Graham has two tds thus far

. I saw a white wr from Cincy had a nice catch with yac and managed to score!


Edit* make that three tds!!!!Edited by: celticdb15

 

[backrow]

Kerry and Eric Decker have two TDs apiece to their names as well!

 

[ToughJ.Riggins]

Kerry Meier finished with 10 catches for 142 yards and 2 TDs. He had a long catch of 62 yards showing off his solid speed.

 

[ToughJ.Riggins]

Jordan Shipley has 7 catches for 92 yards and a TD and it's only half way through the 2nd quarter!

 

[Colonel_Reb]

I'm glad Kerry burned the USM defense. Of course, the ultra caste coaches there wouldn't think about using a white WR.
