I think we want Dontonio to do better than that if our WR corps is going to become more than Ty Montgomery.
Baldwin also chipped in an extra 81 yards on rushes and 155 yards on 21 attempts on punt returns. He tied for the team lead for big plays (6 over 35+ yards) and was second on the team for receptions. Basically sophomore Doug Baldwin's biggest problem was that Tavita Pritchard was throwing him the ball (and that Pritchard was protected by a line that gave up 21 sacks, fourth in the Pac-10 for sacks allowed/game; I think that understates problems given Pritchard's mobility). If we can't do better than Tavita Pritchard (protected by a 2008 line) next year, we have bigger problems than what the wideout corps will look like.
Additionally, it's not as if we need to solve all our wideout problems in one pass. If Dontonio chips in some, and (say) Drew Terrell and Jordan Pratt and Conner Crane each chip in their little bit, we'll be in good-enough shape.
