With Marion out this season, UConn has lacked a deep threat. Look at the pass targets from last year (I know, it's last year, but I think they are instructive):

Pass targets > 20 yards: Marion 35.4%, Clercius 26.3%, Aaron Turner 14.3%
Pass targets 10 to 20 yards: Marion 29.2%, Clercius 15.8%, Turner 17.9%]
Pass targets 0 to 10 yards: Marion 26.2%, Clercius 42.1%, Turner 28.6%
Pass targets < 0 yards: Marion 9.2%, Clercius 15.8%, Turner 28.6%

So, targets > 10 yards:

Marion: 64.6%
Clercius: 42.1%
Turner: 32.2%

I think Marion will be a big help to the offense.


138.9%? That's nearly 3 halves... "Big Woman."

I think you are right though. receivers are having a hard time getting separation. One of the issues last year is that the QBs were less than accurate over about 17 yards.

The percent is how many of that receivers catches are that length, not a total of all catches greater than 10 that were thrown. 64 percent of Marion's throws to him we're over ten yards.

Some people have no sense of humor...No, really, it's my bad. I read it fast and I was mistaken.

On the other hand, Whenever there is an opportunity to post a clip of Jackie Mason, Chevy, Chase, and Robert Stack, I just have to take it.

On a third hand, targets don't mean a whole heck of a lot without completions. As I recall, none of the QBs were particularly accurate throwing the ball downfield last year.
