Wide Receivers: B+

As the weeks progress and we move into the conference championship games, it seems more and more likely that Aaron Burbridge might not be a human being. He had the play of the year on Saturday when he caught a pass from Connor Cook along the sidelines, broke a tackle and then spin moved a Penn State defender into next year before leaping into the end zone for a touchdown.

In case you haven’t seen it yet, just watch this play:

"Never. Gets. Old. Play of the year, @MSU_Football fans? https://t.co/9cMHHs9boX — Michigan St. on BTN (@MichiganStOnBTN) November 30, 2015"

While that was an unreal catch and run, it still might not be his best of the season as he had a remarkable diving catch in the end zone against Air Force. Burbridge has been the best receiver in the Big Ten this year and Saturday was no different as he finished with six catches for 75 yards and a touchdown, moving into second place all-time for receptions in school history.

The other wide outs were quiet, though. Outside of Burbridge and R.J. Shelton, the Spartans didn’t have a receiver catch a pass other than Macgarrett Kings Jr. who had one reception for four yards.

Shelton did look solid, catching four passes for 74 yards and a score while tight end Josiah Price added three catches for 33 yards and a touchdown as well.

The production needs to be spread out and while it was nice to have Price involved again, guys like DeAnthony Arnett, Kings, Monty Madaris, A.J. Troup and Felton Davis need to step up.
