Wish the kid had been both managed & treated better.
He was fun to watch. And also very frustrating.

Those weren't engagement photos, they were glamour shots.

Except for his throw to Hoffman at Notre Dame. That's on Riley.

Pretty sure the coaching staff was giving their all as well.

You're okay with a player being dishonest about their physical condition?

He is. He fulfilled his life's dream at our expense.

It can be argued that Riley was a better passer than Taysom.
byusage
8/26/14 5:50pm
he was serviceable in 2011, although left something to be desired still
binghammer

He was serviceable against HORRIBLE teams.

Their stats are comparable w/ the exception of rushing

last season was Taysom's first as a starter
icecougar
8/26/14 9:45pm
That is the expectation of Taysom. We will soon find out if it is the reality.

Has anyone ever questioned his loyalty?
Walter Bellhaven
8/26/14 5:24pm
Yes. Many on here claim he's selfish for not taking himself out of the game
byubyu
8/26/14 5:27pm
Can't you be both selfish and have a love for your school?
Walter Bellhaven
8/26/14 5:48pm
I think it's being in the spotlight that he loves most
icecougar
8/26/14 9:10pm
He is loyal. And that was selfish.
southernfriedcougar
8/26/14 6:37pm
Yes, he was loyal only to himself and his getting playing time
icecougar
8/26/14 9:09pm
He has my respect. I will never understand the disrespect of BYU fans towards

Yet many BYU fans treat him like he has wronged BYU.

Riley was hardly the only problem that game, I'll definitely agree.

That was awesome (technically a penalty, but still great)
Cougar-Duck
8/26/14 5:31pm
I think the ref was too impressed to blow that. That was crazy

Cool play, goofy high five... Because he had to jump to reach the refs hand.

Riley's primary problem was that he thought he was so much better than he was.
