Well we haven't exactly won games on home runs..

We've won game by systematically driving down the field.

You don't win on big plays alone, although they're exciting. I'd say the HR plays haven't happened for us as often as systematic plays, but we need practice to get better at them. Add the more regular big play and our O is unstoppable.

ESPN analyst just said the Taysom is only HR threat on offense for BYU.

They guy obviously hasn't done his home work. Uhh.. Jaamal Williams is HR threat

Bensoncoug

9/19/14 10:36am

I wouldn't call Jaamal a HR threat.

Its a relative thing

I want to see the potato gun fully loaded

The current season's production supports his comment

9/19/14 10:37am

Not really. Jamaal has great stats in his 2 games played.

lawboy

9/19/14 10:40am

How so? So Jaamal hasn't broken off an 80 yard TD this year so that means

Bensoncoug

9/19/14 10:42am

On the field we have potential game-breakers all over the place

9/19/14 10:54am

Every team has potential game breakers

Isn't BYU one of the few NCAA teams to NOT have any plays...

Eddie

9/19/14 2:48pm

It's a shame that that perception is there...

Downtown

Name all the HR threat players for BYU all time...

boogers

Collie

Downtown

9/19/14 10:40am

Watkins would be #1 on the list.

lawboy

9/19/14 10:41am

I'd give you that...too bad, it's the only real route he would/could

Downtown

9/19/14 10:43am

He could run 2 routes really well. Post and corner.

lawboy

9/19/14 11:09am

HR threat? The Best, but not a hr threat. Hr guys don't run 4.6 fortys.

Signed Jerry Rice. Better go watch Austin's highlight reel again.

Downtown

9/19/14 3:49pm

I have. Maybe you should take your own advice and watch collie, but without the

Ever heard of Jaamal Williams? Is he not a HR threat? I mean the guy has already

Bensoncoug

9/19/14 10:44am

There was a kid named Jim or jimmer or something

stonecougar

9/19/14 10:46am

He was awesome. But really only good for triples and doubles.

I remember Rey Braithewate(sp?) breaking some monster runs off.....

I'd love to see him proved wrong..

9/19/14 10:39am

Remember how Texas insisted they would let others beat them but not Taysom?

Bronoc

9/19/14 10:40am

They insisted on this...but they still dropped a lot into coverage.

Nut'n'2Say

9/19/14 1:57pm

He's really up-in-the-night because Taysom Hill plays football, not baseball.

BYU81

9/19/14 10:45am

Sad how little love Jamaal gets in Hill's shadow.

southernfriedcougar

9/19/14 10:46am

yes they will try to contain Taysom

9/19/14 10:48am

IMO he is the only legitimate home run threat.

thebruce

9/19/14 10:49am

You should watch BYU more.

southernfriedcougar

9/19/14 10:53am

my wife tells me the opposite.

thebruce

9/19/14 10:57am

Yeah but to wives, one football game is too much.

southernfriedcougar

9/19/14 11:05am

So true.

thebruce

9/19/14 11:17am

No question about it, nobody else has the speed to do so.

9/19/14 11:35am

agreed. I think there are different definitions people have for HR threat.

thebruce

9/19/14 11:59am

yup... at BYU... we place a lot of emphasis on our "inside the park" HR threats

sundance

9/19/14 2:26pm

Nah. You're right. If they disagree with you, they're wrong.

macaroni

9/19/14 3:13pm

Sure they do. But Hill has specific things that help him

southernfriedcougar

9/19/14 12:12pm

I think for me Jamaal is a threat at some level

They said the same thing leading up to the Texas game.

CosmosCuzzn

This is a Natural Reaction...And a really good thing if true.

Nut'n'2Say

9/19/14 1:54pm

Having Alge Brown back will be huge as well. I think we really missed him

CosmosCuzzn

9/19/14 2:02pm

Yeah...the importance of solid blockers is under-rated. O-line and FBs are huge.

Nut'n'2Say

9/19/14 2:05pm

I was thinking more about his ability to catch the ball out of the backfield.

CosmosCuzzn

9/19/14 2:13pm

Also a nice element to his game...although I think of him primarily as a good

Nut'n'2Say

9/19/14 2:15pm

Exactly. He is a quicker version of Manase Tonga. Has great hands, can bowl

CosmosCuzzn

9/19/14 2:48pm

RE: Virginia is right. Taysom doesn't get the ball to others who could be HR

Coogar2

9/19/14 2:54pm

I agree. Which is why I wasn't in love with the decision to switch Davis...

BearsandBulls

9/19/14 3:19pm

Well he's def not off base, statistically and through their play byu hasn't had

TheGloryDays

9/19/14 4:20pm

Well we haven't exactly won games on home runs..

Harrison0Yfan

9/19/14 4:25pm

EXACTLY, I think the lack of HR play capability is the one thing keeping this

TheGloryDays

9/19/14 4:41pm

That and the absence of tight passes into coverage

Harrison0Yfan

9/19/14 5:53pm

Some home run threats watch the game from the sidelines. We do have some gritty
