    I'm going to wait and see how Poole plays this season before I agree with you.

      Here's a more interesting question. How many of our backs would be the #1 back at Utah this year? Clearly Williams but what about Hine, Lasike, and/or Alisa?
      You forgot Algernon Brown. He's also clearly better than anyone Utah has at RB. Poole wouldn't sniff the practice field at BYU.

        Great point. I mean, did you see Brown run over all those defenders in that one practice?! That was amazing!!! That said, BYU could probably use Poole as a back up on the scout team or something.

              I mentioned this last year but Williams lacks that "wiggle" that truly spectacular backs have. He has improved considerable in all facets of his game from year 1 to year 2 but he doesn't have that truly special turn-on-a-dime move that spectacular backs have. An outstanding running back, recruited by several great schools, just not in the upper echelon IMO.

He said they did that with all their PAC 12 opponents and they'd do the same with Van Noy.

                I'm not opposed to collecting bulletin board fodder but, in context, his comments were purely schematic. Weak sauce.
                I just listened to the press conference as well. I guess that is why you don't rely on a BYU homer's interpretation of the comments. Yours is an accurate account of what he said. He did not say they face players like Van Noy every week. His comments have been completely misinterpreted. If anyone else wants to listen to them, here is the link. It is at about the 18:55 point.

                      Interesting because Jan Jorgensen, Tony Parks and Jake Scott all agree whit was taking a subtle shot at byu and kvn. They also brought up Whit throwing out that stat after week 1 about teams running 85 or more plays going 2-7 or whatever it was.

                      Like I said Whit is a dickhead but he is your dickhead so I would expect you to support him (from the comfort of your living room of course, I know you don't actually attend the games).
