That was the quality of online highlights back then

I remember in 1999 when the highlight "videos" on KSL were based in RealPlayer and all they did was skip from one still image to another. That 2001 quality was "awesome" when it came. Now we have BYUtv where it's HD anywhere, anytime.

Kids these days are spoiled.

With all this talk about Staley, might as well watch some of what he did.

Crazy what HD has done for TV viewing. That looks awful.

True but it didn't really look anywhere near this bad when it aired on tv.

Amazing player man. However...

I remember some of his games. The best one I remember is his run up the sideline

I was watching that game in a hotel room in rural Missouri somewhere.

Lol! Awesome! I remember rushing the field after the game

This. My Dad took me to games when I was like 4, 5, 6 but I don't remember much

You can see why Taysom gets compared to him. They are pretty similar runners.

v. true, i just loved staley's long strides once he got into the open.

I was on my mission for his two years he played. Wish I could have seen him.

Same with me. Good to finally see what my dad was writing to me about each week

4/16/14 11:16pm

I went to the first 2 games in 2001, then left on my mission.

Luke was money in the stretch handoff near the goal line

Afton Man

Is that why Doman insisted on always running stretch plays at the goal line?

Need to correct myself.

Isaac might have been around that time. I think he graduated in 99

Might be the worst music selection for a highlight video ever.

4/16/14 10:59pm

Other than his god given talent, he had amazing vision...
