He didn't like BYU.

Wasn't he a starter for most of the 2014 season?

He started as a freshman. Tough life

I think it was more about playing time and being the starter. Howell was

There was a much better version of this where he launched into orbit, cant find

BYUFootballisBack

He probably still has nightmares about that.

Wow I forgot about Povey. Dude was awful. So yeah Dallin deserved to be upset.

Yeah - that was a terrible look. He had talent, but I think we’re not aware of possible glaring issues.

Breaded Hamster

Valid, he absolutely did pick off Taysom and celebrate by standing on a bench and staring at the BYU crowd

krindorr

Yup that’s my memory. I remember thinking “Leavitt is really good for us.”
