Amir Carlisle the 5th year senior who many thought was not to be asked back due to number crunches and because of our wealth of talent at receiver was our # 2 yardage receiver (58 yards on 3 catches) behind Will Fuller 's 142 yards.
Those three catches were very important and early in the game when the Irish were establishing a important early 14 to 0 lead that essentially put the game out of reach.
He has good hands and speed and knows Coach Kelly's system and his part in it. He may have to run the ball now and then with the other slot receivers to help out with Folston and Greg Bryant not with us this season (He ran it once yesterday--but it is nice he has that experience.
He also returns kicks---even though yesterday he made an ill advised 10 yard run out of the end zone.
He may not be one of our leading receivers but it is nice to have him out there.
Championship depth is about having the back ups come in to give the starters a breather and not miss a beat.
Amir used to be a shiny new toy that everyone was excited about but now he is a grizzeled veteran who can be counted on when the coaches need him. And besides he has excellent speed and with the pressure off of him not to be the number one guy he may surprise us.
This buds for you AMIR !!
Go Irish !!
Beat Virginia 48 to 14 !!
