You're right, because he was better
Jamaal is a complete back, Staley was great, and a big play threat if he got the edge, but not at all equal to Jamaal in all facets of the game. Jamaal was also a better worker and better leader.

Plainly said most of the time Staley didn't want to be there. Had to have others

Staley was the best BYU RB ever.

I was a huge Jenkins fan. But he didn't move like Luke.

Whatever. Luke is for sure top 2 of all time.

Brady has a point. Staley was an edge runner, that didnt like running between

Who cares what "kind" of runner he was as long as the chains are moving.

So Staley played defense too? Pretty sure having Staley wouldnt have kept Hawaii
TBabyCougs

How would TOP have changed if Luke had played?
Metallicat
7/25/17 1:12pm
Thats a great point. But not 27 points worth. Maybe we could have put luke on
TBabyCougs

We would have outscored Hawaii with Luke. He was that good.

Jamaal is not a close second. He wasn't even a Doak walker finalist.
