OK, so you have a romanticized memory with limited recall.

He was 3rd on the team in receiving in regards to both yards and receptions. BYU had 9 players with 20 or more catches that season.

Exactly. He averaged two catches per game.

Your post made me curious about how McKay really did in 2006.

Against the bowl teams we played

BC-1 catch 22 yards 0 TD
TCU-3 catches 37 yards 0 TD
Utah-2 catches 35 yards 0 TD
Oregon-2 catches 26 yards 0 TD

McKay piled up the big games against UNLV, SDSU, New Mexico, CSU.

I am excited for McKay, but I have said before that Collie set the bar ridiculously high for an RM at WR. McKay had average at best games against the bowl teams we played in 06, and I think there might need to be some tempering of excitement about him stepping right in where Collie left off.

Good post. I am too lazy to look it up but it would be interesting to see a game by game breakdown of Collie's freshman season. I'm not suggesting that MJ will be Collie, but I do think his ceiling is high. It will be fun to watch both he and Chambers this year. Does anyone know how Ashworth is looking? It seems like he's been hyped for a while, but hasn't shown much.

I think the WR position will be fun to watch over the next few years. (Matthews X2, Smith, etc) I'm sure I'm missing a few.

look I am not saying he got Nate Meikle pt. but he was a solid contributer. Is that wrong or am I forgetting all his drops and fuck ups? I don't think I am.

He had 8 more catches and 200 more receiving yards than Meikle.

[Commando]

you're right. He sucked. Go away, everyone, nothing to see here.

2 catches and 40 yards is good. I will take that from a true freshman. Oneill had 2 catches on the season.

Collie sucked he only averaged 4 catches per game.

Typical overreaction. Nothing to see here.

[Indy Coug]

He had 8 more catches and 200 more receiving yards than Meikle.

Which is why you don't hear too much "I wish we still had Nate Meikle" talk on messageboards.

4.8 catches a game, 14.5 per catch 8 TD. Insane freshman year on a pretty bad offensive team.

That 2004 team was one of the most frustrating to watch. Yes, they played probably the hardest schedule in BYU History. I don't know of any other team in history that played 3 teams that finished the season undefeated. There were so many games that SHOULD have been wins (Boise, UNLV and UNM off the top of my head) but just didn't happen. 8-3 Would have felt a whole lot better than 5-6. But those are the breaks.

Surprising he didnt have a single 100 yards receiving game.

My, did I cross the resident authority on byu football?

No, but you did prove yourself truly incapable of discussing a simple topic; quickly resorting to f-bombs and claiming I said he sucked. That's not surprising as you've repeatedly proven yourself completely incapable of sustaining a rational discussion on this board.

[Commando]

I never "resort" to "f-bombs." That's how I talk.
