Man, this guy has incredible hands. Sure wish we would've been able to see more than one season of his play. Nonetheless, what a season it has been. He currently has 882 yards receiving with two regular season games remaining and possibly/hopefully two additional games.

He has a chance (and a somewhat decent one) of having the most receiving yards in a season by an OHIO receiver. There have only been two OHIO receivers to eclipse 1,000 yards in a season. The gold standard was Lavon Brazill's 2011 season, when he had 1,150 yards and 11 touchdowns. The only other player to cross 1,000 yards was Donte Foster with 1,018 (7 touchdowns) in 2013.

Coleman has 882 yards (88.2 ypg) so far after a massive game last night. He has five touchdowns. A big week next week could possibly get him over 1,000 yards. If he plays three more games this season (2 regular season and 1 bowl game), he would need to do only slightly better than his current average to pass Brazill, needing 89.33 yards per game. If he HOPEFULLY gets four more games in the season, he would need 67 ypg to be our new all-time single season receiving record.

I thought he was good, but had no idea he was closing in on Brazill's record. I'm rooting for him to break that record. He's one amazing WR!

He's absolutely incredible and I expect big things in his final 3-4 games the record definitely within reach. He just does everything right. I feel like he should get a look in the pros. Sure he is a small guy but so was Brazil.

More impressive is that he's putting up these numbers in an offense that is not pass-heavy. When Brazill had 1150 yards, he did it in a year where Tyler Tettleton threw for 3306 yards (team total of 3482 with Phil Bates). That means that Brazill accounted for 33% of all receiving yards on the team. When Foster achieved his 1,000 yard season two years later, TT again led the passing attack with 2,851 yards (team total of 3,190). Foster accounted for 32% of all receiving yards.

This year? Well, Owen is doing this in an offense where Parker Navarro, who has been improving, has only thrown for 1,636 yards (team total of 1,871 with Poulos). That means Coleman Owen has contributed 47%! of all receiving yards this year. That's almost half of all passing yards. He comes through when the team needs it.

Agree with everything said here. Becoming a solid secondary receiver, however, has been Chase Hendricks. The exciting thing with Hendricks is that he is a sophomore with (hopefully) two more years left.

I hope Coleman Owen is rewarded with a UDFA contract in the NFL. I have to admit that it would be somewhat ironic if receivers left here hoping for more NFL attention elsewhere, and then someone else popped in at Ohio and ends up with a contract.

His ability to see the ball and be oblivious to the kind of hit me might take after reception is what impresses me most. He's ever bit as good as Wiglusz, even with fewer stats.

The hit he took on the play that started at the 1:23 mark of this video, and then to not only hold on to the ball, but to just flip back up on to his feet immediately like he did. He is tough as nails just like we like our players at OHIO.

Owen has been a revelation. Between he and Tyus we barely miss Cross and Sieh. I believe this staff did an outstanding job of replacing our lost guys with new guys who have really acclimated to the culture and tradition and who simply go out and play football. Guys like McNaboe, Leake and Dustin Johnson just hit people. And Doggette is starting to look like he will be a good one if we can keep him. Walker-Burgess has also been outstanding. Just wish we had offensive line depth. I thought Cisse would be that guy after starting at Idaho but he isn't on the 2-deep.

It turns out they found a guy from the DL in Weatherspoon, and Heidecker and Allen were the transfers that helped the most on the OL. Lemus (a JUCO) also appeared in one game.
