Jamaal Williams vs. Harvey Unga

I am a huge fan of Jamaal. I think he has the opportunity to be one of the

He had one fumble his freshman year, and one fumble last year - neither were

SoCalCoug

that really is a super-valuable asset. Nothing worse than drive-stalling fumbles

Very sound analysis. I love Harvey, but I agree that Jamaal is

Has Jamaal every fumbled? I can't remember him ever dropping the ball

He has never lost a fumble. Curtis Brown, in his career, had 6 fumbles, losing 5

People forget that having a mobile QB also opens things up for Jamaal,

Bluedomination

4/17/14 9:55am

And a crappy o-line, compared to Harvey having a great line.

SoCalCoug

4/17/14 9:58am

Yeah, but you forgot to mention that one of the most athletic Qbs in the nation

Bluedomination

4/17/14 10:02am

And Harvey had an NFL FB, NFL o-linemen, and NFL TE's blocking for him, with an

Why are you downplaying what Jamaal did?

He also took a LOT of carries away from Williams.

One more piece of info:

Hoosier Coug

4/17/14 9:56am

only point I will disagree on: Rey Braithwaite was more explosive

BYUtiful

4/17/14 9:59am

Brathwaite: 5.6 ypc

SoCalCoug

4/17/14 10:04am

Ha--interesting; thx for looking that up

BYUtiful

4/17/14 10:07am

Almost 12% of Brathwaite's total career yards came from that one 95-yard run.

SoCalCoug

4/17/14 10:13am

What Harvey had.

HenderCoug

4/17/14 9:59am

Unga was also probably the best RB against BCS defenses

dilbert

This question interested me.

SoCalCoug

4/17/14 11:19am

Thanks for looking that up

dilbert

4/17/14 11:57am

Harvey was a fantastic receiver. Seemed like they passed less and less to him..

bluecheese

4/17/14 10:01am

He had really good hands, defenses had to account for him in the passing games,

Bluedomination

4/17/14 10:04am

One thing about Harvey that was very underrated was his hips

CaliWG

4/17/14 10:03am

The question was, Harvey at his peak or JW

Walter Bellhaven

4/17/14 10:04am

Harvey's peak was his freshman year.

SoCalCoug

4/17/14 10:07am

I think his peak was his Junior year.

Walter Bellhaven

4/17/14 10:10am

While that his highest YPC (5.2), it was his lowest output

SoCalCoug

4/17/14 10:14am

Yeah, I'm looking at more than numbers. Just my opinion.

Walter Bellhaven

4/17/14 10:22am

Not his peak. Defenses realized they had to take him seriously. Jamaal has done

IUCougar

4/17/14 10:34am

Harvey was great. I'm not disputing that, at all.

guys, we have never seen a running back like Jamaal at BYU

Cougarealist

4/17/14 10:12am

I'm sorry but I just don't see him winning the Doak Walker award. He is young

Bluedomination

4/17/14 10:20am

he may not win that award, but he will be better than Luke at BYU and beyond

Cougarealist

Well, it is now conclusive. How did I not see it before.

Bluedomination

4/17/14 10:45am

of course its not conclusive

The best I can find for J Swag is a 11.23. Further proof you are not objective..

I've always been surprised at how well Jamaal can drag defenders.

delbert

4/17/14 10:45am

What about receiving yards? I think that was the x-factor for Harvey.

Why can't they both be good? Why can't we like them both? it's not marriage.

They are. They're both great.

SoCalCoug

?? Williams won the poll pretty convincingly, not Unga.

There were some who expressed consternation at that result.

true. we are running a pretty run happy O right now.

Harvey was a substantially better receiver.

How many times has Jamaal been thrown to? Harvey has more catches because

He doesn't punish like Unga, but has good pop...

After it is all said and DONE, MAYBE, Jamaal will be the best
