Who replaces Randy Moss?

Question: Will Mike Williams be the starter to replace Randy Moss?

- Alex, San Bernardino

Answer: My suspicion is yes. Based on how Lane Kiffin describes his offense, he prefers a big receiver at the 'X' spot, or receiver away from the tight end. Williams is big (6-4, 229) and played that spot in Kiffin's offense at USC.

Ronald Curry could play that spot, but I assume he'll be the third receiver again. I don't expect Kiffin to name Williams a starter right away. I think Kiffin will try to push Williams by not handing the job to him and making him beat out someone like Curry.
