RB seems to be the toughest position to keep a guy healthy. My bet is that every one of those guys sees meaningful

Snaps this year. When was the last time we had one main back who played every game in a season? Unga? Coaches need to prepare all those guys like they're the guy then let cream rise. I have big hopes for 3 of them this year.

Ula is a special back

That's a pretty bold prediction.

We'll know after his freshman year if he's on track

whirl

he'll likely see garbage time snaps this year.

Dissenter

Hopefully he'll see them from the sideline

I'd venture to say that RB carries % this year

Coug76

Yup. They have said multiple times that they will do a RB by committee approach.

I don't think it will be spread that much though.

If one guy isn't justified in taking more than 30% we're in trouble, prob.

Kalani said it would not be by committee if a back steps and and takes the job

One interesting twist is Canada has been learning the full back position to help

You haven't been paying attention much

That's not what I was told first hand by two coaches. Perhaps you are a better

unctoothman

That, or they are speaking coachspeak

Dissenter

3/23/17 12:07pm

Except most members of this coaching staff seem to be straight shooters.

Rise Against

3/23/17 12:12pm

What are they gonna say if he is bad?

Dissenter

3/23/17 12:17pm

That he's got some work to do. They have said that before.

Rise Against

3/23/17 12:18pm

To the media, probably that. I've heard plenty in person from the coaches about

unctoothman

3/23/17 12:38pm

All-purpose like returning punts and kicks and stuff?

jensen46

3/23/17 8:13am

He may be, but why can't people wait until he's at least played his first game before anointing him?

Just a prediction. Based on me collecting evidence from film

whirl

3/23/17 7:37am

Because we've never been wrong before about these things.

Pistol Shrimp

3/23/17 7:51am

He's even out running most DBs and

Coug76

3/23/17 7:51am

He timed-out at a 4.5 in high school.

whirl

3/23/17 7:52am

No wonder Utah never pursued him.

DB Cooper

3/23/17 8:43am

hs 40 times are generally hand timed and very generous

palangi

3/23/17 2:24pm

Agree, but there wasnt a highlight where he wasn't outrunning the DBs

Hank Rearden

3/23/17 2:31pm

One more video put together by a group in Big10 country.

whirl

3/23/17 8:03am

Hopefully all his OL didn't go to Utah.

Jamaal's records will stand

kapcreations

3/23/17 9:01am

He didn't start as a freshman, at least not initially, only had like 18

basman

3/23/17 9:15am

He also didn't serve a mission. Ulu's clock will be ticking.

kapcreations

3/23/17 11:21am

Your last prediction was the LP3 were leading BYU to the Final Four, right?

Turnpike Lane

I have ZERO inside info. But I imagine the phrase "running back by committee"

Hank Rearden

3/23/17 9:19am

Or it can be taken literally because there is no Jamaal type and each back

True true

I'm all for optimism. Thanks for sharing.

BlackBart

He will probably start before the end of the season

shakarocks

3/23/17 10:51am

If that was the only thing I was basing it on, I'd agree with you.

whirl

3/23/17 11:01am

That's a tall order, I hope you're right

Watch the play at the 2:11 mark. He puts that safety on the ground with a juke.
