What's the, I have, I have both the quote and team yards after the coach.

so he said um talking about yards after the catch he said that's really the biggest emphasis in our receiver room this year it's especially a goal of mine this year i think we were like the worst team worst team in yards after the catch last year i mean really we had no we had no guys that had juice when they had the ball in their hands i was like whoa

when he said that last part i was like i was like one can't believe he said that two you're not wrong because i think a lot of people felt that about the receiving game last year um they weren't actually worse so at least so i'm looking at sports info solutions um i'm just looking at power four teams they were 28th in total yards after the catch um okay

So not worse, but not as good as they want it to be.

The leaders, by the way, in yards after the catch last year, just total, Miami was one, Ole Miss was two.

Okay.

Yep.

But I can't remember one.

Shoot, who was that against?

It was one of their early like kind of mismatch games.

But yeah, he caught the ball in the middle of three defenders and outran all of them.

Yeah, I think they will.

Jeremiah Smith, by the way, his yards after the catch per reception last year, it dropped by more than two yards from the previous year.

He was 6.5 yards after the catch per reception as a freshman.

He was 4.3.

last year, that 4.3 among the 28 players in FBS who had 100 targets last year ranked 23rd.

So he had a great year, but he just didn't have many opportunities to do that.

So I think it's a lot of things.

I think it's Cortez Hankton having an emphasis on it and probably drilling it more.

So it's just kind of a second nature thing for his receivers that
