Think LJ may have gotten there if not injured several games but not a given even then.

BYU will not have a 1,000-yard rusher in 2024, making it three consecutive seasons without a 1K runner since Tyler Allgeier's back-to-back seasons with 1,000+ yards in 2020 (1,130) and 2021 (1,601).

Number of BYU rushers with 1,000+ yards--
From 1994 through 2009: 9
From 2010…

I don’t like that Greg is already ruling out a 370 yard effort from LJ in the

Makes me wonder if he's even watching the games when he calls them.

Kalani has only had 2 RB's go over over 1000 yards as Head Coach at BYU...

Coug

3:28pm

Disagree. We are heavy on RB by committee. You have to be elite to not have an

spidercoug

3:29pm

1000 yard rusher is a good sign of a good RB...

Coug

3:31pm

When we are playing 3 RBs a game, do you expect all 3 to have 1000+ yards?

spidercoug

3:33pm

If you are playing 3 RB's... you don't have a good RB.

Coug

3:34pm

You and Das_Countach just like to complain. I'll leave you to your cying

spidercoug

3:36pm

This is a legitimately awful take

4:09pm

I have no qualms with having a 1996 style backfield (McKenzie & Jenkins)

gopman

5:09pm

As definitively as your statement is written, it's not true.

Homercles

5:19pm

Both points can be simultaneously true. I would love to have a 1996

gopman

5:36pm

Yeah, a backfield like that would be epic.

Homercles

5:41pm

It comes down to recruiting. Because we struggle to land "good quality" RB's

gopman

5:54pm

It's a sign of a RB staying healthy for a change

Indy Coug

3:35pm

Brooks maybe... Martin I doubt it

Coug

3:37pm

Good point. Allgeier and Jamaal are the two RBs to actually be healthy all year

spidercoug

3:38pm

typically when you have 3 NFL QBs for the majority of that time you don’t

FieroCoug

3:36pm

And 2 of our NFL drafted QB's had an NFL drafted RB... weird

Coug

3:37pm

it probably helps those guys stay healthy. maybe my first post is wrong and it

FieroCoug

3:45pm

Are you 13?

shimmy

Coug just has to find his little nuggets to piss about in the midst of a 10-2 season

Indy Coug

3:37pm

It's just stating the obvious.

Coug

3:38pm

Obvious if you lack critical thinking skills!

shimmy

3:39pm

All good information added to the conversation... thank you shimmy

Coug

3:42pm

Sorry I didn’t make dumb proclamations about LJ Martin being a failed recruit.

shimmy

3:43pm

Well... thanks for your input and data to back up your points... appreciate your input

Coug

3:43pm

Link to the data you provided or do we just get dumb declarations?

shimmy

3:48pm

2 1000 yards rushers under Kalani in 9 seasons, 6 seasons in which Kalani hasn't had a 1000 yard rusher

Coug

3:49pm

By data I meant data reasonably related to the conclusion.

shimmy

4:02pm

So I mostly agree with the recruiting fail as Williams was a Bronco recruit and Allgeier

kimdaddy35

3:39pm

See... here's my problem, I agree with you up to a point...

Coug

3:41pm

We have two RBs in the NFL (3 if you count Taysom). Other than Alabama, there are few teams

You state that BYU runs the ball well and contradict your self with BYU fails

Is NIL playing a part? You are correct that this staff isn't the best at

Martin, Pokaiau, and now Breslin are much higher rated than our average player

I don't care if carries are spread around as long as the running game works

It seems to me more of an issue of health, which may be partially a coaching

Baraeus

3:53pm

We are a year, maybe 2, into a revamped S&C program so maybe we start to see less injuries.

Coug

3:55pm

Ugh

Well considering Jamal Willis ended a 20 year streak in 1992, what does that tell you about BYU's need

kimdaddy35

3:34pm

A Rod’s o lines have been sub par with run blocking.

3:37pm

I don't think his shoulder ever fully recovered.

4:09pm

Or his ankle. He's not a speedster, but seemed quite a bit slower than last yr.
