It comes down to recruiting. Because we struggle to land "good quality" RB's

we have to "ride" the "one" good quality back we have on the roster. But you're right that it'd be much better to have 2-3 quality backs that we could depend upon.

1996 was so special. Landing Jenkins (national headliner after 619 yd. single game) & McKenzie (no. 2 overall JUCO RB after Cory Dillon) was indeed special.

Think LJ may have gotten there if not injured several games but not a given even then.

I don’t like that Greg is already ruling out a 370 yard effort from LJ in the

Makes me wonder if he's even watching the games when he calls them.

Kalani has only had 2 RB's go over over 1000 yards as Head Coach at BYU...

Disagree. We are heavy on RB by committee. You have to be elite to not have an

1000 yard rusher is a good sign of a good RB...

Coug

3:31pm

When we are playing 3 RBs a game, do you expect all 3 to have 1000+ yards?

spidercoug

3:33pm

If you are playing 3 RB's... you don't have a good RB.

Coug

3:34pm

You and Das_Countach just like to complain. I'll leave you to your cying

spidercoug

3:36pm

This is a legitimately awful take

4:09pm

I have no qualms with having a 1996 style backfield (McKenzie & Jenkins)

5:09pm

As definitively as your statement is written, it's not true.

Homercles

5:19pm

Both points can be simultaneously true. I would love to have a 1996

gopman

5:36pm

Yeah, a backfield like that would be epic.

It's a sign of a RB staying healthy for a change

Indy Coug

3:35pm

Brooks maybe... Martin I doubt it

Coug

3:37pm

Good point. Allgeier and Jamaal are the two RBs to actually be healthy all year

spidercoug

3:38pm

typically when you have 3 NFL QBs for the majority of that time you don’t

FieroCoug

3:36pm

And 2 of our NFL drafted QB's had an NFL drafted RB... weird

Coug

3:37pm

it probably helps those guys stay healthy. maybe my first post is wrong and it

Are you 13?

Coug just has to find his little nuggets to piss about in the midst of a 10-2 season

Indy Coug

3:37pm

It's just stating the obvious.

Coug

3:38pm

Obvious if you lack critical thinking skills!

shimmy

3:39pm

All good information added to the conversation... thank you shimmy

Coug

3:42pm

Sorry I didn’t make dumb proclamations about LJ Martin being a failed recruit.

shimmy

3:43pm

Well... thanks for your input and data to back up your points... appreciate your input

Coug

3:43pm

Link to the data you provided or do we just get dumb declarations?

shimmy

3:48pm

2 1000 yards rushers under Kalani in 9 seasons, 6 seasons in which Kalani hasn't had a 1000 yard rusher

Coug

3:49pm

By data I meant data reasonably related to the conclusion.

shimmy

4:02pm

So I mostly agree with the recruiting fail as Williams was a Bronco recruit and Allgeier

See... here's my problem, I agree with you up to a point...

Coug

3:41pm

We have two RBs in the NFL (3 if you count Taysom). Other than Alabama, there are few teams

Martin, Pokaiau, and now Breslin are much higher rated than our average player

I don't care if carries are spread around as long as the running game works

It seems to me more of an issue of health, which may be partially a coaching

We are a year, maybe 2, into a revamped S&C program so maybe we start to see less injuries.

Well considering Jamal Willis ended a 20 year streak in 1992, what does that tell you about BYU's need

kimdaddy35

3:34pm

A Rod’s o lines have been sub par with run blocking.

3:37pm

I don't think his shoulder ever fully recovered.

4:09pm

Or his ankle. He's not a speedster, but seemed quite a bit slower than last yr.
