Mike Williams vs. Tee Higgins
May 24, 2022, 7:50 PM

While we know that both were able to go up and win the 50/50 ball, you can only choose one in this scenario:
It's 3rd & goal on the opponent's 7 yard line (right hash) with 8 seconds to go, and Charlie Whitehurst is your QB. Tee is in the field, Mike is in the boundary. If you're the offensive coordinator, who do you go to and what route are you having them run? For the sake of the scenario, let's say the opponent is Bama, who's in a 3-4, single safety look.
Choose your receiver and route!

Throw the fade to Big Mike...

in the corner of the end zone. The dude is like Gumby. He can contort into whatever position he needs to get over the defender and make the catch. Bama knew they couldn't stop it in 2016 - that's why they virtually conceded the first down on the goal line rather than risk letting him get into the end zone unimpeded.

Also, I appreciate the detail in the hypothetical! Good work.

Love Tee, but Mike all day long. The entire 4th qtr vs Bama in 2016 NC was basically MW getting jump balls vs an NFL secondary

We've already seen the correct answer. Throw the fade to

Mikey in the left corner of the end zone, just like DW4 did in the Natty Championship game against Bama. He'll either catch it, or be interfered with like he was that night, and we have 1st and goal from the 2 yard line.
And we all remember what happened next.....

I was thinking to sub in Martavis Bryant at the last second. He caught some crazy tough passes from Boyd in the corner of the endzone.

The underneath China route to Renfrow

Tee and Mike as decoys to spread the field.
Besides, it’s 3rd and Renfrow against Bama!
McElroy still has nightmares

Tee will never be as good as Mike

Only thing that ever held Mike back is injuries. He's on a different physical and mental level than Tee.
Mike is a #1 receiver at the NFL level. Tee might be one some day. He has the potential.

Mike was physically bigger than Tee, so I would take him on a fade route down in the redzone.
