and get him injured because of his uber confidence and his willingness to take one for the team.

He is the future of BYU football. Anyone who doesn't think that the coaches don't know this right now...is insulting the intelligence of the coaches.

Even if it was for only the reasons I brought up and I know jack compared to their intimate knowledge of all personnel and abilities ...but if it was for those reasons alone, maybe they are planning on two years of incredible football with Tanner behind a line that knows the pro style offense instead of being shell shocked, running for his life trying to make something out of nothing because we are playing superior teams to our linemans abilities.

I mean...what if the coaches were smarter than a bag of hammers? Let's give them some credit for BYUs long term interest.
