Ever since sometime Sunday morning the replay link for that game is no longer available to watch. Don't know why though, hoping for lil bit of insight

Peterson and Shells are not great possession receivers (Darrin is much more than Dante). We need Gabe to help take the heat off of our other receivers and running backs through intermediate and short passes and be the explosive player that he can be. He has had a couple drops, but he also hasn't been targeted very much. If he can't turn it around, we'll need the TEs to get some more action in order to help fix the passing attack.

Henderson stats so far: 5 catches for 47 yards.

TE stats:
Herman: 5 for 66 yards
Couamin: 1 for 8 yards
I think you just answered your own question in regards to our #2 WR spot. You say he has drops, but hasn't been targeted. Well that could be the reason that he hasn't been targeted that much. The use of the spread is to get the ball into the hands of your most explosive players, and so far IMO, Petey has been the best of the WR's that we have on the roster, Gabe has been the second best, but not targeted for whatever reason. Dante is iffy, becuz of his hands, but has good speed. There must be some reason why Justin Fritts has not been able to crack the lineup, because we have been seeing DK and Zac Parker. On the outside, this year, I think that kid BJ Farrow, becauase of his (may not even be a word) go getitness would have been real helpful. Bottom line is they have to keep on getting coached up and working hard. Sure Coach T isn't letting them rest on their laurels.
I didn't really answer my own question. I just stated what one of the problems is with our offense: intermediate and short passing. Gabe had a couple drops against UNC, but similar problems didn't stop us from targeting Dante on Saturday. Gabe was virtually nonexistent in the passing attack.

If we can get Gabe going, everything on our offense will begin to improve quickly.

#27 - Hagen - Undoubted, leader in the secondary and holds it together back there making sure everyone is lined up correctly to say the least, as the last line of defense. Making plays bottom line

#5 - Sampson - In only his sophomore campaign, really holding down that SS spot on the field, with his playmaking and tackling in run support.

#14 - Scott - One half of the law firm, this Sr is holding his own on his half of the field. Solid vs UNC, but hurt vs. NSU

#23 - Guillory - He has come off a RS Frosh season and seems to make very few mistakes on the field, when guarding his man.

#21 - Scott - The other half of the law firm, this Sophomore has been tasked with Kenny's old job, of guarding the other teams slot WR(wiggle guy). Has done a good job of being in his spot, not afraid to come up in run support and helped hold UNC's Switzer to under 50 yds rec.

#6 - Holloway - Big, tall good looking corner in the mode of Aikens from last year, also coming off a RS Frosh year, getting his feet wet in games, and as long as he can stay healthy will be good.

#38 - Jalloh - Not on team last year has come in making plays in a reserve role, proving that when on the field behind Sampson, it may not be that much of a drop off.

#11 - James - Besides my own kid, I really like this guy, a true Freshman who is getting his feet wet, playing and learning behind a real good one in Jacob Hagen. I like his playing style and his aggression as a safety and his playing pedigree (Byrnes HS). I don't think the games are too big for him. He will be a good one, as long as he stays healthy.

#45 is in on every single tackle in the middle of the field. He really reads plays better than any MLBs we have had in SJ's Modern Era.
