I don't think Luke was a system guy

He happened to play in a system, but that doesn't mean he couldn't have been equally dominant in another system.

I'm not a lifelong fan, but Luke is the only RB when he got the ball

It would for me, it would depend on the personnel. Supporting cast matters

I get that, I just have yet to see a BYU team that wouldn't be better with Luke

That's fair, I do think the system was Luke, and it proved out to fall short

Agree, both are the best to play at BYU by far

Luke dominated under both Chow and Crowton

Jenkins had some of the same flair. I wish BYU had him longer.

True, unfortunately I associate him with lacking power and fumbling

8 yards per carry over a season. On nearly 200 carries! That's insane.

I see the top 4 as Willis, Jenkins, Staley, and Williams.

Belboz

7/25/17 12:33pm

Yep. Good list.

7/25/17 12:35pm

Who would make top 5? Add Unga? I like your list, btw

Unga, Hall, Brown, Lakei Heimuli... they start to blend together in a group.

Belboz

Reno Mahe even blends in that list as he may be the best receiving threat

mosterlow

7/25/17 12:45pm

But I think he was actually a receiver when he returned from his absence.

Belboz

7/25/17 12:47pm

Yup, he was a tailor made slot receiver for Crowton's system

Unga. Great runner, great blocker, great receiver. Not made of glass.

Unga had a great skill set, but he had holes in his game too
