It is so bad that a senior WR on BYU that has never even scored a TD on an FBS team is better than any of Utah's WRs. The only way Utah would have a decent WR would be to move Booker there full time. Utah has an oline that is really good at pass blocking, but is a poor run blocking. In short, Booker gets pretty much no help from his team. He is the entire Ute offense. When Utah has success passing the ball, it is basically because teams are focusing on Booker. Booker has suffered through 2pac trials with the Ute offense.
Look at the amount of yards that Booker has after contact. He has to fight for nearly every yard he gets. He isn't a Heisman candidate, but to argue he is anything other than an elite RB is ridiculous. IMO, he is the best RB that Utah has ever had and that is including backs that had pro careers like Jamal Anderson and Mike Anderson.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

Fournette is easily better than Booker. I'm not going to argue he is better than Fournette. He also isn't better than Elliot, but he is an elite back.

“Anyone can get blocked yardage. Blocked yardage, I can do it,” Whittingham said. “But the real barometer, in my opinion, or one of the main barometers in judging a running back is yards after contact.”I'm like LeBron James.
