Unfortunately, Doman became the scape goat. I wish he'd stay in some capacity. BYU does not seem very loyal. They also don't seem different than any other program in this regard. Bronco saves his own tail as much as any HC out there.
I think players should play 100% all the time. It doesn't mean they do.
Apo may not have been dogging it. It was just a theory. But it does in fact happen. If you know you aren't going to get the ball, you may not put in 100%.
I am not saying that is right or that Apo even actually did that but it can and does happen in college football. Yes, even at BYU. Sorry.
