Yes...he's not the most athletically gifted guy on the team. But he's a much better football player than this board gives him credit for.

Bronco has also shown time and time again that Grit starts above talent

Should be easy for you to list samples then. I challenge you.

Riley Nelson.... do I need to say more?

Who was better than Riley behind those offensive lines?

Here is what we know.

So...you really don't know squat. You assume.

BarraCouga

9/16/14 12:49pm

And you are assuming that Lark wouldn't have been better? Thanks for playing.

I am quite confident he wouldn't have been better...

Nope. It's a fact that he never won the job.

5 years is an awful long time.

Then I guess he can be the defensive whipping boy.

BarraCouga

9/16/14 6:08am

Say what you want, Povey and Juergens would not be starting

BigYfan

9/16/14 6:13am

Perfect. Keep it up. You're doing great!

They're not starting at BYU either

Freddie Cougar

His point is that they aren't starters. So you saying they wouldn't start at any

Make fun of complainers, but Povey should NOT be playing.

Povey is much better at safety than CB
