2. AJ Brown, DK Metcalf each surpass 700 yards

Further proof that the offense will go off in the month of October, one of the best receiving corps in college football, led by AJ Brown and DK Metcalf, will reach milestones of its own.

With Jordan Ta’amu presumably playing at a high level in the upcoming month, Brown and Metcalf will each reach the 700-yard mark on the season, putting them on pace to each reach 1,000 yards for the year, if all goes as planned.

Both receivers are currently averaging over 80 yards per game receiving, surpassing the 400-yard mark through the month of September and they’ll only pick up steam in October, recording at least 300 yards apiece, averaging 100 per game.

These two guys have already been nightmares for opposing secondaries and that’s not going to change as they’ll even give Auburn a tough time.

Don’t sleep on DaMarkus Lodge as he’ll approach the 400-yard mark.
