Why are BYU fans so obsessed with TEs?

plenty of RB and QBs in Jake's talent range in the portal. Like...plenty.

Talent, yes. Leadership is a different question.

Gorgias

1:49pm

Jake isn't transferring, I'm ok with LJ transferring as we need a better RB1 that can take on 20+ carries a game

Coug

LJ would be pushing 1000 yards on the season if he'd played every game.

Gorgias

1:47pm

He averaged 70 yards a game... yeah no

The ONLY time ARod's offense ever looked half way decent is when he had Allgeier running the ball...
