Was just looking back at last season. We finished 12-0 but Ladd and Brock only played in the same game together 4 times because of injuries (Vandy, UK, Auburn, and Ole Miss). And in all four of those one or both was hurt or still very hobbled after getting hurt and working back into form.
Auburn was Ladd's first game of the season
Kentucky, Ladd was still getting up to speed, had one catch
Vandy, Brock was hurt after 4 catches for 22 yards
Ole Miss, Brock's first game back after tight rope surgery
Certainly having just one of those guys healthy was a huge help to Carson in those games where the other was hurt...., but he never really played a game last year where both players were completely healthy and in mid-season form, and only 4 where they played together at all.
Maybe the thought that Beck owes his success last year to Bowers and McConkey is a bit overstated at times?
