Whit before the bowl game last year. Of all the coaches in the world, Whit knows that missions are decidedly not an advantage. But he said it about Tanner anyways. It's just a cheap dig at BYU and an easy way to make BYU look bad to his idiotic fanbase.

It's because he's one of the few (very few) real professionals in sports media

Thanks for posting. I was listening to that and shaking my head. If it truly is a "hustle" I'm sure Harbaugh will be all

8/24/16 11:22pm

And Saban would have incorporated it into the process years ago

If it was a real hustle Harbaugh would have had Taysom back at Stanford playing

"Sometimes maybe 20." That's a great line right there.

And even if they were 17...add 4 years that is still 21. "Maybe 20". what a joke

Go on missions earlier? What an idiot, does he want them to skip high school?

Taysom was gone during two of BYUs worst years for QB play. We could've used him
