Sorry, but you are wrong about Lemon stretching the field. Yes, he has played very solid the last two games. However, he will not beat a BCS corner one on one or get through a double coverage and make a deep play in a consistent basis. Yesterday's stat was patted with several catches during garabage time. WR who used to stretch the field at SU are players like Rob Moore, Marvin Harrison, Mike Williams, Quiton Spotwood and Kevin Johnson.

Our WRs are mostly FCS talent. Graham and Kobena are physical machine who can't catch a ball in a consistent basis. West is a possession receiver who is very average. Chew is the worst starting WR in BCS conference. Lemon is a very good possession receiver who would make a lot of BCS team happy as a 3rd or 4th WR. In addition, we have a very average OL, TB and inconsistent QB. That's why we are ranked #80-90 offense in the nation. Better play call wouldn't make much difference.

Marrone has to recruit better talent. He has yet to bring in better WR than Lemon or Chew and that is showing up on the scoreboard. IMO Delone Carter and Antown Bailey (GRob recruits) are way better than Tyson Gulley, Jerome Smith or Adonis Moore (his recruits). He hasn't brought in any big time QB or OL.  If he keeps bringing in 2 star talents who's only offers were Buffalo, Central Michigan or Bowling Green, he will have a trouble winning vs. Big East or ACC teams. We just gotta pray 2 star recruits turn to next diamond in the rough because we have a very few 3 and 4 star recruits coming in.
