instead it should really be about his durability. He just wasn't big enough to absorb the hits. If he played in GFGH he'd have been injured just as fast or faster.

How would he have performed compared to himself in the other scheme?

Before or after he was injured?

That's on the coaches and doctors

not if he's stupid, I guess... good point.

Maybe slightly better than he did in the dark years because we have a better OL

of course. a thousand times. the scheme also didn't help RN too much tho.

True. But that would not make up the difference.

He would have run wild - probably would have broken loose 8-10.....

Anae wouldn't have put up with his "agree to disagree" crap, so he may have

BYU doesn't beat Texas or Houston with Nelson at QB....
