The Big East Conference boasts some of the most talented wide outs in the country this year. This trio, all serious candidates for the Bilentikoff Award, is just the tip of the iceberg for the Big East. Temple and Rutgers sport wide receivers that can challenge even the best defensive backs in the league. Every single team in the conference returns its top receiver from 1999.
Most teams return their top two wide outs.
In contrast only one team, Miami, returns more than 2 starting defensive backs from 1999. If you were a betting man the odds are on the conference s experienced wide outs to show up their defensive back counterparts. Senior Santana Moss is the most publicized of the league s wide outs garnering Heisman talk before the season. The three year starter is one of the nation s most explosive players at both wide out and punt returner. Moss is a track star as well.
