Childress started out playing cornerback. Hollins came out of nowhere to star on Saturday. Jenkins, who didn't catch a single ball last year, had a solid game with three receptions for 34 yards. Childress, Ohio's Mr. Football in 2000, may be the team's fastest receiver. He caught three for 25 yards, but fumbled a crucial punt in a losing cause.
Experience is a definite concern with the current bunch of receivers.
In all, they caught only nine balls for 141 yards last year. But no one seems worried about the talent level. We can be very versatile, they can go deep or over the middle. If we play more spread offense like we have been, then we'll need them. The scramble for starting spots has also limited the amount of reps each receiver gets, but that doesn't seem to be a concern.
