2. Anthony Miller is the truth

So last week in a loss to UCF, wide receiver Anthony Miller only had three catches for 37 yards and if you have even seen this young man play you know he has to get more touches than that.

I wrote about Memphis doing a better job at accomplishing that and they must’ve read my post Miller had 15 catches for 224 yards and four touchdowns. Miller had 12 catches for 156 yards and three touchdowns at halftime. People dream of having a game like Miller had in two quarters , one word: crazy.

Connecticut needed to try to triple team the receiver, it was like he was playing a video game on rookie against the secondary. When Memphis wins Miller normally is a huge part of that, so coaching staff stop playing around and make sure you get this young man the ball at least seven times a game.

Anything less than that is a scheming problem because this kid is a beast, feed him constantly please your team will be better for it. Miller is the truth folks take notice. Now the question is how will he follow up this week?
