Rocky Ross leads a 13-player logjam to catch quarterback Kyle Israel's passes.

When former UCF receiver Brandon Marshall left for the NFL's Denver Broncos following the 2005 season, it definitely left a void in the Knights offense. But the blow was lessened with a play-making machine in Mike Walker coming back to play his senior season.

Not only did Walker have a capable pair of hands, but many felt Walker was in some ways a more talented receiver than his predecessor.

But while a year later, Walker -- now of the Jacksonville Jaguars -- proved to be every bit the Marshall-clone, it has left the kind of hole in the Knights' receiving corps that they haven't had to confront in at least five seasons.
