Better than advertised Players

[Katy Lied]

For some reason, the coaches are struggling to develop the ones, leave alone the 2s and 3s and walkons. Just because they are underperforming doesnt make them bad; just less than advertised.


Here are the players playing above what I had hoped:
KVN
Maybe Falslev, if you ignore his performance vs. Utah
Hoffman
JJ DiLuigi
Jordan Pendleton
Fangupo
Fuga (because I expected him never to recover)

Playing about what I expected:
Riley Nelson
Uona Kaveinga
Corby Eason

Underperformers:
Ross Apo
Matt Reynolds
Heaps
Riley Stephenson
Brandon Doman
The canuck WR coach
Ian Dulan (Remember how great he was as a 17 year old freshman?)
McKay jacobsen (Remember how great he was as a freshman?)
Spencer Hafoka

Is Dulan even playing?

[UtahJazzFan88]

Not sure if this is a BYU only thread or what, but: Derrick Shelby and Trevor Reilly on the defensive line for the Utes.

Also, I must mention how much John Cullen SUCKS as an offensive lineman for the Utes.

Better or worse?

[Katy Lied]

and for Utah underperformers:

Harvey Langi
Cullin (WTF is with him?)
Hayes

Utah overperformers:
Every journeyman kicker Utah has ever had, and I include Kaneshiro.

Better or worse?

My bad, WAY better, probably the best defensive linemen in the PAC-12.

Dulan is redshirting.
I think Ben Cahoon has done a nice job.
I had high hopes for both Jacobsen and Hafoka and I agree they have both under performed.
Considering the accolades Braden Hansen has also been terrible.

Underperformers

Cullen
Langi
Bergstrom
Fotu
Chaz Walker


Overperformers

White
Murphy
Moe Lee
Dres Anderson
Conroy Black

I don't think you can call Hays an underperformer. He really isn't a D1 QB.

I'm not sure how Tony Bergstrom is an underperformer, he's the anchor of the offensive line.

[Scorcho]

I'm not sure how Tony Bergstrom is an underperformer, he's the anchor of the offensive line.

he's had too many false starts, holds and has given up too many sacks. He's the leader of the o_line, but 2-3 times this year the O-line has played pretty badly.

[Katy Lied]

I'd call Bergstrom a variable player. a few years ago he did horribly against BYU, but against TCU that year, he took out their all american player over and over again. Maybe he just had great coaching for that TCU game.

I wouldn't list Walker as an underperformer. I think he does a good job with MWC level talent.

[HBCoug]

Overachievers:

Preston Hadley
Joe Sampson
Eathyn Manumaleuna
Spencer Hadley
Cody Hoffman

Underachievers:

Jake Heaps
Josh Quezada
The entire 4 star TE corp
Both Bradens on the Oline
Corby Eason

About as bad as I expected:

Travis Uale
Jadon Wagner
Terrence Brown

If you're discussing Fotu as an underperformer based on how he played in 2007, sure, I agree. If you're talking about Fotu as an underperformer based on expectations coming in 2011, then your expectations were wildly out of whack.

Underperformers: Keith McGill was supposed to be a guy who would command the FS spot the moment he arrived on campus in August. But even prior to his injury, he looked lost. Good thing he'll be able to get a medical redshirt.

Overperformers: Griff McNabb, Eric Rowe (he's shown a ton of improvement), Ryan Lacy, Miles Mason, Trevor Reilly

Duh - Utah's been playing day games. Everyone knows vampires lose their powers in the daylight.
