Not saying that Luke isn't the greatest but in 1997-1999 the Doak Walker award wasn't going to anyone else but Ricky Williams and Ron Dayne. In 1996 he wasn't the starter.

Ronney Jenkins just said he is the best RB in BYU history

Signed the Doak Walker Award with Luke's name on it.

Staley was great, but don't underestimate what Doman's masterful job at running

This - one football-starved August while I was in grad school I rewatched more

We had a fantastic offensive line that year too.

I'm so glad somebody else besides me recognizes this. exactly.

Regardless, I'd say he is in the top three. Too bad he couldn't stick around.

coug almighty

10/2/14 8:20am

he was good. so much fun to watch

It was a great interview, I would recommend going back and listening to it.

Zigster

10/2/14 8:23am

Sorry...no "what ifs" allowed. "If" he stayed 4 years is meaningless.

Fdnman

10/2/14 8:23am

If I was really fast and shifty I would probably have been the best.

"Freshman" Ronny Jenkins

refunder

10/2/14 8:24am

We almost lost that game

PolarisPrime

10/2/14 9:31am

BYU thumped Utah in that game.

Was the kaneshiro doink in 98?

PolarisPrime

10/2/14 3:11pm

Yes.

Oceanographer

10/2/14 3:20pm

I only heard the end, what did he say about socks and the locker room before UW?

palangi

10/2/14 8:25am

He said they were a better team than UW, and they were well prepared for the

Zigster

10/2/14 8:29am

Lol. what's he supposed to say?

jkccoug

10/2/14 8:29am

It wasn't in response to a question. As the interview was ending he stopped

Zigster

10/2/14 8:33am

WOW. That IS weird.

jkccoug

10/2/14 8:59am

I just thought it was interesting and that other CBers would be interested.

Zigster

10/2/14 8:38am

Jenkins had unique combination of elite straight line speed and

NOCAL_YFAN

Give Ronnie 4 years and he could have done great things.

coug almighty

10/2/14 8:34am

No doubt, but playing four years has significant value

Braves Fan

10/2/14 8:43am

I would expect him to say that. Good for him.

Downtown

10/2/14 8:47am

He was the most talented, but not the most accomplished.

BYU81

10/2/14 8:50am

Fastest, but IMO the most talented was Jamal Willis

blucoug18

10/2/14 12:23pm

Luke then Willis. Willis shied from contact, though.

Mantis Mutu

10/2/14 12:47pm

agree Willis hesitated

blucoug18

10/2/14 2:08pm

FWIW

HiLife

10/2/14 2:19pm

Willis's game against ND was his most physical ever, hands down

Mantis Mutu

10/2/14 2:30pm

He was certainly more gifted. If he had 4 years it was likely he would have

Singcat

10/2/14 8:52am

Most enjoyable to watch for me.

mokelembembe

10/2/14 8:55am

Top-2 are Jenkins and Staley. Pick your order. Unga is next. Jamaal 4th

lawboy

10/2/14 9:00am

Jamal Willis needs to be in the mix

tassell

10/2/14 9:09am

The best RB in BYU history may be playing QB right now.

dryflyelk

10/2/14 9:18am

I agree with him! Great speed and vision. More durable than Staley. I could

morbidlyobese

10/2/14 9:20am

He did as a freshman

HiLife

10/2/14 1:31pm

Love that he said he's a BYU Cougar in his heart

Yakov

10/2/14 9:29am

But I take Harvey #1

Yakov

10/2/14 9:44am

Amen, brother! Harvey had things that I admire so much besides his power

DazeofBlue

10/2/14 9:50am

and blocking!

Yakov

10/2/14 9:52am

Yes, that is very good to hear.

Oceanographer

10/2/14 1:14pm

He was AMAZING. Fastest RB I've ever seen at BYU.

LegsOfTaysom

10/2/14 9:30am

Can you imagine what he would have done in Crowton's spread offense?

LegsOfTaysom

10/2/14 9:30am

Would be fun to see a Jenkins highlight vid.

Downtown

10/2/14 9:31am

Make sure you skip this play

fredy

10/2/14 10:04am

That play is so weird. So was he thinking that the LB would stand and wait for

QBarrister

10/2/14 10:27am

That was the dumbest play I've ever seen by a RB, ever.

LifeLongLakerFan

10/2/14 11:10am

There's no question that he "could have" been the best RB in BYU history

donnerstag

10/2/14 9:52am

Exactly. Accomplishments & body of work makes the best RB

Vegas Katbacker

10/2/14 1:42pm

Jenkins being kicked out proved that Lavell didn't sweep stuff under the rug

donnerstag

10/2/14 9:58am

I'm alright with that. I'm guessing Jamaal would say the same.

Walter Bellhaven

10/2/14 10:13am

This might be blasphemy, but Jenkins was FAR too easy to take down

byu bcs buster

10/2/14 10:16am

Jenkins had the most (wasted) potential

Choke

10/2/14 10:21am

Jenkins had some flaws

blucoug18

10/2/14 12:16pm

I'd take Jamaal over Staley or Jenkins

bbd24

10/2/14 12:37pm

Ronney was most fun to watch IMO
