He started 11 of 13 games at wide receiver, setting new single-season career highs in virtually every statistical category, including 42 catches, 714 receiving yards and three TDs. Recorded two catches on the game winning drive against Tennessee in the regular season finale. Krause ranked seventh in the SEC with a 64.9-yard receiving average per game.
