Talk:List of NCAA major college football yearly receiving leaders

Bucky Curtis

Any reason the ESPN encyclopedia neglected to mention Bucky Curtis? He had an unreal 27 catches for 791 yards in 1950, thanks to Bill Wade. Cake (talk) 23:39, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

The ESPN Encyclopedia data for 1950 is limited to receivers with at least 36 receptions. If we have a reliable source confirming Curtis had 791 receiving yards in 1950, we could substitute him as the true receiving yards leader. Cbl62 (talk) 00:12, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

Ah, I see, so the insane average hurt him in this instance. In my experience, this source is pretty good. Cake (talk) 00:16, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

Yes, but I found a reliable source confirming that he was the yardage leader and have made the needed change to the chart. Cbl62 (talk) 00:20, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

Thanks. Would you happen to know if Bennie Oosterbaan's 8 TDs as a sophomore were all receptions? Cake (talk) 06:24, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

Don't know. Cbl62 (talk) 20:58, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
