How did Luke Staley compare to Skattebo? I’m too young to remember LS’s style.

Royal_Minister

6:28pm

Luke was a tall, upright runner with breakaway speed. Scatt is a bowling ball. He'd find a hole and hit hyper drive. He

zonacougar

6:29pm

Yep. Lots of defenders took bad angles, because they underestimated Staley's speed.

Spiff

8:45pm

True. Not good between the tackles. Needed space, but if allowed to accelerate

Threw and Through

Luke was shifty like Sanders IMO and so fast- not a pound it guy as I recall

SBB

6:29pm

I don’t recall him being a make you miss shifty back. Fast and decisive.

Charles Darwin

6:33pm

Yup - hit the hole and gone.

Eddie

6:37pm

It’s been a long time. I trust you’re memory more than mine

SBB

6:38pm

This. Perhaps a bit shiftier than given credit for, but more plant and go

Would Taysom Hill be a good running style comp? Maybe Hill ran stronger, but

Mr Salad

6:54pm

I was thinking Taysom is a pretty good comparison.

Eddie

6:57pm

Taysom might be the best “athlete” I remember at BYU

Lifi

Luke did NOT avoid contact at the end of runs. He streamrolled through a lot

SinkingQuffa

9:45pm

Like I said - he could finish with contact - but he didn't necessarily...

Eddie

9:48pm

Maybe not shifty but his change of pace was elite. His ability to accelerate in

Pepe

8:48pm

Dang, once he got the edge he was gone!

NonmormonYfan89

10:11pm

This^^^. We were always trying to get him to the edge.

Not very shifty but big strong speed back.

Sanders?? As in Barry Sanders?? No, Luke Staley was nothing like Barry.

LakeshowCougs

7:04pm

Colonel sanders from Space Balls maybe?

byuTX

7:46pm

Probably closer to that than to Barry

LakeshowCougs

CB should really have a rule against drunk posting

Sid Vicious

8:18pm

Haha. Incorrect. Not shifty at all. Ran straight up. Not good with contact. One cut n gone.

Haysom Till

7:32pm

Spot on. I swear I was NOT influenced by your post.

SinkingQuffa

9:30pm

Luke was one hard cut & full speed ahead. He was NOT a shifty back.

SinkingQuffa

9:27pm

Skataboo gets a TON of yards after contact.

Eddie

6:31pm

Yup. Luke's upright form and lack of low body agility meant that he did not get

oxcoug

6:34pm

He blasted through holes because of his speed.

Archaea

6:36pm

He was always the fastest guy on the field

Lifi

7:00pm

Not true. Arnold Parker from Utah caught Luke from behind

LakeshowCougs

7:06pm

But most of the time that wasn't the case - Luke's Doak numbers happened on the

oxcoug

7:06pm

Skattebo is more like Tyler Allgeier

The 435

6:32pm

More like Fui Vakapuna

Mabuhay Coug

8:40pm

Luke had a speed burst to get the edge. Skattebo’s best skill is his bruising

BYUheaven

6:33pm

Staley did much of his damage to the outside

Sir_Ten

6:34pm

Not similar at all. Skat is all power. Staley was pure speed.

Blueto

6:40pm

Both white and played the same position, end of comparison.

Hank Rearden

6:43pm

Luke didn’t run through contact. He ran around it. Next level speed. Skatt much more physical.

Haysom Till

6:48pm

Staley used speed and ran in straight lines

Belboz

6:51pm

He was an upright speedster - link

Lifi

6:55pm

Just watch this. He was a stud

MrSandman

7:00pm

Both had really good hands. Good receivers

GFCougar

7:28pm

Upright runner with good but not explosive speed. He was able to get long

gopman

7:31pm

Luke's NFL combine time was 4.42 which is pretty dang fast. I think I'd

oxcoug

7:55pm

Correct. He didn't have that explosive-change of direction first

gopman

8:18pm

He ran that without being fully recovered from his ankle fracture. He was faster

Mot

9:33pm

You just made the same mistake made by every defender left in his wake. He had a gear no one else did.

Hank Rearden

8:48pm

Luke had power and speed, he didn't need to knock a bunch of people over bc once he was through the hole or around the

BYU Grounds

8:12pm

Apples and oranges. The afterburner speed Luke had was other worldly.

Idacoug

8:24pm

Jenkins, McKenzie & Brathwaite were much faster. Luke was fast

gopman

8:34pm

I disagree. He had game speed that was uncanny and cannot be correctly evaluated

Idacoug

9:00pm

what were their hundred meter times?

Mot

10:00pm

Allgier is a much more comparable running back than Staley.

Cougar Jazz Fan

8:34pm

Luke was a demigod amongst mere mortals

Helm Hammerhand

8:44pm

Luke was straight up speed with great hands

boctabulous

8:50pm

With Luke in the game... we had a chance to win any team in the country.

ParentingNotForSissy

9:44pm

Luke was more like an Eric Dickerson style runner

Blue Heart

9:46pm

That comparison really ought to help the guy too young to remember Luke Staley 😂

spinner

9:51pm

This is a great question. Luke had more speed but I have never seen a RB like

CT98

10:00pm

Luke had amazing speed
