I should clarify that sequence of events, so that youse guys know that I'm not as dumb as that sounds.  Of course, Florida was sent to the NC first, causing the Sugar to need a replacement, so they took LSU.  I think the way I worded that last post makes it sound like the wrong order.

Unrelated, but Josh Reed is underrated, nationally.  His 2001 season was obscene.  

Guys from mid-major schools have always had massive receiving seasons, with 90-100+ receptions, but going back to 1995 (just randomly), here's the leading P4-5-6 receivers each year:
95 - Keyshawn Johnson 90 rec
96 - Reidel Anthony/Kevin Lockett 72
97 - Troy Walters 86
98 - Dameane Douglas 100 (never heard of this guy, somehow - Cal)
99 - Chris Daniels 109 (thanks, Brees)
00 - Kevin Kasper 82 Iowa
01 - REED 92
02 - Rashaun Woods 107
03 - Wes Welker 97
04 - Braylon Edwards 97
05 - Dwayne Jarrett 91
06 - 2 Texas Tech guys, 91, 89
07 - Crabtree 134 (whoa)
08 - Jeremy Maclin 102

So leading up to Leach in Lubbock, it was 70s-80s (I assume, for the vast majority pre-1995), and then 90s-100s.  
Reed averaged 18.5 yards per reception on his 92 catches.  Most of these guys are under 15 ypc.
