I was comparing our options from last year to this year. Last year Jake Williams was our only option. When we needed a big catch he's the guy we threw to.
This year Money and Lenz have been clutch each time they've been thrown to. And not far behind had been Horne as well. Sure helps open things up when the defense had to account for more than one player.
The only improvement I see is Jantz ability top find his check downs.

He has been without a doubt our MVP. He's the most consistent player in all 3 games so far. His special teams play has put us in awesome field position. We have not scored on a drive longer than 60 yards. We have ran that receiver reverse pass twice and he hit Money in the numbers. The one Money threw wasnt close. And that catch on 3rd down last night that setup Money's game winning touchdown was out if this world! That pass was headed to the stands and he went up and got it and had the wherewithal to get a foot down. CF needs to show him some love today. We could be 0-3 without his game.
He has literally done everything. Clutch receptions, great punt/kick returns, and of course thrown for a TD. He has had two of the best catches I've seen in awhile, last night on that 3rd and 9, and then his TD catch last year against Texas.

I was watching the play where Josh makes the tippy-toe catch on the sidelines. Jantz has forever to stand in the pocket, and you can see that the Huskies are making no headway at collapsing the pocket whatsoever. AA, Bret Meyer and Seneca sure never had that luxury...

I agree, Lenz is one of my favorite players on the team. You can definetely tell he's out there to give it all he's got. I think he needs a nick name. "Clutch"? "Automatic"? "Cash" (as opposed to "Money" Reynolds) What do you guys think?

I agree with everything you said with one caveat. Both Lenz and Money did their jobs when their number was called on the reverse pass play. It wasn't there when Money had the ball so he did his job and threw it away. It was there when Lenz had the ball so he did his job and threw a lollipop to Money for the TD. He did an awesome job avoiding the pressure and getting the ball away, too. I don't think the coaches want a receiver to try to thread the needle with that pass if it isn't wide open.
Josh has been incredible. That reception on the sideline in the fourth quarter Friday was one of the best college receptions I have ever seen.
While watching him play I keep thinking of a certain Jack Whitver who always seemed to come through on third down.

From my vantage point in the stadium it looked like the receiver was wide open and Money overthrew him by a lot. But I'll take your word for it. It wasn't my point to put down Money. My point was to say that Josh has been the most consistent game after game. IMO, He just seems to make every play all of the time but no one seems to be recognizing his efforts.
Without Josh, no doubt we are 0-3. Huge catch in UNI game, huge catch in UConn game, and timely plays vs. Iowa. Kid just seems to do it all. Take it for granted, but after the last 8 years, its nice to have a punt returner that can catch the ball and return it for a few positive yards.
