I dislike when Reporters say about the WR injuries. "Panic isn't setting in yet. We still have walk-ons.". Yeah, of course, we still have some backup WR's, but guess what? When you play decent teams with good secondary's and great teams (like tOSU, Wisky), even a few of our best WR's have trouble getting open against them.
So yeah, when you are down to walk-ons and 2nd and 3rd team WR's, your offense is going to struggle in the passing game especially against those better defenses. Ugh.
