2011 BYU Football Thread

The prospect of Hoffman, Apo and Chambers running routes through a Lilliputian secondary is intriguing.

Because the upside of Nelson has been reached. There is no more potential in Nelson. Heaps has reached the upside of Nelson, and has more potential.

3. Same reasons I have been stating all along, Riley has never been able to move the ball in practice and he has padded stats against crappy teams. I think Jake stays and proves his worth in the spring and hopefully it finally clicks for him.

I hope you two are right, but Bronco's public comments seem to indicate that he'll stick with Nelson next year.

I didn't know Falslev wasn't on scholarship. I really like that kid.

I do too, although I have to block out the searingly hot rage I felt when he muffed the KO against Utah. Except for that one horrific miscue, he's been very dependable and an exciting player to watch.

Jay Drew just tweeted that Josh Quezada's 20-year old brother died over the weekend in a car accident. Sad.

Extremely sad. God bless him and his family.

Wow, really awful news for Juice.

[USUC]

Wow, really awful news for Juice.

What a tragedy. My heart goes out to him and his family. Losing family members so young is devastating.

[MarkGrace]

So sad.

How far apart are he and juice in age I wonder? Shouldn't juice be pushing 20 as well?

1. I see some depth issues at DE and I think if Hinds does not serve a mission (he is already 19) he will play DE mainly due to us having a serious need.

I've heard that Hinds will serve a mission. It was not first-hand. It was second hand. Take it for what it's worth. This was also as a month and a half ago.

Awful.

Condolences to the Quezada family.

Doman was just on Hans and O.C. He stated that Riley practiced yesterday participating in everything but team drills and is throwing the ball around much better than expected. Will graduate to team drills in next couple of days. Doman also stated that the rib injury will not hold Riley back from the game, only the lung may prevent him from flying. They will do scans tomorrow and Monday to see how he's healing.

Doman discussed that he doesn't want to be the one who sets the precedent that it's ok for a starter to lose his job after an injury that only affects him for a couple of games and that Riley has earned the job.

Jake also received praise regarding his play the last couple of games. Doman repeated his previous comment about Jake slowly changing from a thrower to a passer stating, using baseball terms, that now he's starting to be able to throw change-ups and sliders in addition to his fastball. The deep ball is still a work in progress.

I'd also like to state that I feel horrible for Juice and his family. The get my condolences.

According to Jay Drew Nelson has been cleared to fly to Hawaii.

[Tone Loc]

Oh snap! Hawaii has no idea what's coming!

Sweet maybe he will end up like this kid,
