Both teams would not have honored him in the run game and would have shut our run game down. Then with his weak arm BYU would have struggled to move the ball through the air. People are underestimating how good Taysom really is.

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

Before or after he was injured?

This is the unfortunate truth. The debate is often about Riley's ability, but

That's on the coaches and doctors

Sea Chicken

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.

riboflavin

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

Nothing could overcome the Riley sin of Heaps sucking.
