Absolutely, and that's going to remain a problem, I'm afraid, as we play Ole Miss, A&M, and especially Auburn.
When your starting cornerbacks are averaging around 5'10 and 185 pounds, that's just a battle you are never going to win. Opposing coaches will -- and have, judging by what WVU did to us -- see that and view it as an opportunity ripe for exploitation. A 6'3, 215 pound receiver iso-blocking a 5'10 and 194 pound cornerback is going to win that battle far more often than he loses it.
Again, that just gets me back to my earlier point, underlying which is the fact that size is very important in a cornerback these days, and signing a lot of these small frame, bean-pole type "athletes" who run really well isn't a complete solution. You need length, you need athleticism, and you need someone who can fend off blocks and fight through the clutter on the perimeter in the run game and in the short passing game. Truth is, CB has become a position a lot like LT, in that it's getting to be essentially a must-have position for top-end talent. It has become nearly impossible to disguise talent deficiencies at cornerback these days.
