2012 BYU Football Season

[Jacob]

Please, don't tell me you are one of those who slides his head up his butt and then tries to compare a SEC 10 win team with this years BYU 10 wins.

Please tell me your are not. I don't want to have to discout everything you say by 50% in the future.

I'm only saying that Georgia isn't especially good and they didn't beat anyone of note. That's not controversial, is it? The 3 best SEC teams were in the west, so Georgia had a pretty easy road to their conference championship, not playing any of the top SEC teams, getting worked by Boise, etc.

Bronco just said that he wanted Riley to move to safety last year. That he was 100% committed to Heaps.

Bronco said that even after watching Nelson win the '11 spring game, his mindset was that "no matter what (Nelson) did," he'd be the back-up

Bronco:"I had already seen what Jake could do, and believed that he was our future"; thought Nelson could be a safety. "Proved to be wrong."

Am I not reading this right? Seems in one quote, Nelson is the back up for sure. Next quote he is moving to safety??

I'd guess that Bronco wanted Riley to move to safety, but Riley refused/decided to stay at QB knowing he'd be the backup. Having not moved to safety, he was slotted at backup QB during spring, at which time they held a scrimmage. Bronco, at that point in time, decided that no matter how well Riley looked, he'd still be the backup. Maybe Bronco still thought he should switch to safety, but didn't force him to.

Moving forward, BYU will recruit QBs that are "dual threat" types, meaning they can throw the ball and have mobility, Bronco says.

I guess the offensive philosophy has permanently changed. Not sure how I feel about this.

This just proves that Riley had an agenda to get rid of Jake.

I would tell Tanner Mangum to run and run fast.

Well yes. If we wants to ever be BYU's running QB of the future, that is.

I see. I had thought the two quotes had been made at the same time.

I'm curious to know the context of that statement. BYU isn't going to have much success recruiting am effective running QB. I can't imagine this coaching staff would honestly think pocket passing is not preferred.

I'm sure you can get the whole interview on cougar tracks. But Bronco said he'll be focusing recruiting on dual threats.

Think again. BYU will have all the Skyline QB pipeline established in no time.

Well for the foreseeable future we have Hill and then Kuresa (can't wait until Mangum transfers in '16 because of him!). That should give Doman enough time to become competent to the point where he doesn't need a kid with legs to bail him out after another play he called and hasn't worked enough on executing in practice falls apart.

I wish Riley Nelson stayed at Utah State.
