DALLAS (SMU/TQC) - SMU wide receiver Darius Joseph has been named to the 2014 Biletnikoff Award Watch List, the Tallahassee Quarterback Club (TQC) Foundation, Inc., announced today. The award is given annually to the most outstanding receiver in college football.

The junior-to-be ranked second at SMU and 10th nationally with 103 catches in 2013, totaling 808 yards and five touchdowns. Joseph caught a career-high 12 passes against both Montana State and Cincinnati last season, placing him 11th on the all-time single-game list in program history.

SMU has now had a player on the Watch List for six consecutive seasons. Jeremy Johnson was a mid-season addition in 2013, while Darius Johnson (2011 and 2012), Cole Beasley (2011) and Aldrick Robinson (2009 and 2010) have all represented the Mustangs. Robinson was named a semifinalist for the award in 2010.

The Tallahassee Quarterback Club Foundation, Inc., will announce the ten Biletnikoff Award semifinalists on November 17, 2014, following the vote by the 221 members of the Biletnikoff Award National Selection Committee. Likewise, the three finalists will be declared, following another vote, on November 24.

Closest guy we have to a true stud on the roster. I hope he gets the ball early and often. I hope we keep some of the Mumme offense (someone like Matt Davis could thrive in that kind of offense - don't see anyone open in 3-4 seconds, go find a running lane, and take off . . . do it over and over again maybe we pick up 4-5 wins).

I would say Pope could fall into that "stud" category, and my sleeper is Horace Richardson.
