Tee Higgins is such a great Receiver

He runs great routes, body positions to shield defenders, and uses that freaky athletic Hoops vertical to high-points the ball so well. He put on a Clinic against NCSU. You may recall that State's Defense came out with Safety-high, determined to stop the Run game & home runs over the top, yielding the Sidelines and pretty much daring us to throw it there. The problem with that strategy is that Trevor Lawrence can deliver NFL throws on the Out from the opposite hash, and if the WR runs a good route, there's little you can do except hope for a drop. Tee Higgins would drive his defender down field, then cut off his route after 10 yards; the CB was 5 yards away when Higgins made his break & the ball was already in the air on a dime. They simply couldn't stop it.

He's also a dang good downfield blocker. On many a long run you will see Higgins putting some poor DB on roller skates and driving him wherever he wants.

Absolutely; his TD vs Texas A&M is a thing of beauty

Watch it at half speed and its even better. Funny when he put his arm out at about the 10 yard line, #21 kinda backs off. He shoulda kept coming at him; musta been afraid Tee would cut back, but the guy behind them coulda helped. It's like the XT sack video, you have to watch it more than once.

Nice analysis except I'm not so sure

a safety high is intended to stop the run. I think bringing him down is intended to stop the run. Brent does it often when looking to stop the run. And man, do we ever.

Nice! On the a&m catch, he leaves the ground at the 45 and comes down at the 39. That's a six yard leap EFFORTLESSLY. amazing athlete.

Texas A&M Game . . .

I had forgotten how much it had rained preceding that game . . . the footing was less than desirable
Someone correct me . . . Wasn't that (pass to Tee) Trevor's 1st TD of the season, of his Career?!!! . . .
If so, what a great one to get the career started!!!!!!!

Trevor threw multiple TDs the weekend before in the Furman game.
That pass was his first pass of the day though and it went for 6.
