Stanford wide receivers should be productive in 2015
Will Stanford's passing game make a comeback in 2015? Obviously, for it to succeed the Cardinal are going to need a bounce back year from senior QB Kevin Hogan. However, it looks like his wide receivers have the talent necessary for him to elevate his game.
ESPN's Dave Lombardi recently dove into the Pac-12 North receivers and graded Stanford's receiving group to be in "great shape". Below are his full comments:
"The Cardinal lose Ty Montgomery, but their offense played better without him to close last season as the receiving corps truly showcased its depth. Of course, some of Stanford's late offensive improvement should probably be attributed to increased cohesion along the offensive line, but this much remains true: Between Devon Cajuste, Michael Rector, Francis Owusu, and a promising young foursome of tight ends, the Cardinal's aerial attack is as versatile as its been since Andrew Luck's departure. Touted true freshman Trent Irwin is also expected to immediately contribute, and his presence further deepens Kevin Hogan's arsenal."
In order to compete in the Pac-12, Stanford's offense is going to have to crank it up a bit in 2015. With this group of wide receivers, Kevin Hogan should feel confident in the talent he has surrounding him this season.
