If the game was won, why only take him out? It’s a pretty clear point

BYU '80 Intervention Needed

Also, how many times have we heard a player or coach say that someone was healthy only to find out later on that they weren’t?

LJ himself said he’s fine

Out for 68-74 weeks

I figured it was more precautionary than anything

Why would he play more? Why risk injury?

When byu was starting to struggle to get first downs and the lead was 34-18

Game was over. Precautionary. No injury and making sure they keep it that way for Holy War

At 34-18 with ten minutes left it wasn’t over

It was.

BYU had to execute multiple third downs. If they hadn’t the same guy who led

A third and then they still would have needed a fourth

If byu had failed to get first downs and kicked a fg they would have had

I will go with Kalani’s opinion over yours and the words of LJ himself.

Unless you had Kalani on the phone during the time of the game it was 34-18

Ok. So if the game had played out differently than it did, I suspect we would have seen LJ.

Considering LJ was about the only known starter not in the game at 34-18

Fine. It's a valid question. You've been given several valid answers. It's on you if you don't like them.

Spiff

Oct 27, 8:08pm

Which answers were valid. We never got an answer. Every response here has been

I guess you're right then. He was hurt and BYU almost lost.

Spiff

Oct 27, 8:24pm

I asked if he was hurt. At 34–18 the game wasn’t over

BYU '80

Maybe read my post one more time. What does precautionary mean to you?

JohnnyComeLately

Oct 27, 8:31pm

I saw what you said. That was an opinion but never confirmed.

BYU '80

And he told Wrubell he was healthy. So not sure what point you are trying to make.

For those laughing, Greg and Hans were asking the same question on the radio

BYU '80

Oct 27, 6:59pm

The question has been asked many times but you may not have seen

NYCougz

Oct 27, 7:29pm

I hadn’t seen which is the reason I asked as stated in the original post

BYU '80

Oct 27, 7:50pm

If he is hurt, sadly sitake won’t be clear about it

LJ in post game said it was a charlie horse.
