Receiving: 2 / 26 / 0 on 3 targets
During this game Austin saw the field a little more then in past games so far. He made some clutch possession type receptions on third down. The first one was a well run corner route where he showed nice hands to make the reception. His last catch of the game on a third and seven set up the eventual winning touchdown. It is possible that he may see more playing time going forward and may have passed Crayton on the depth chart. It will be worth watching.
