Neither did Bronco.
I have to hand it to you, Zach. You've become quite the little hater. You wear it well.

Does BYU's philosophy trust "system" and not "talent"?

Ziggy is a perfect example of BYU's NFL problem
Walter Bellhaven

Wait, didn't Ziggy get drafted in the first round?

The one who was BYU's highest draft pick ever

That would be Steve Young, but I see your point.

Highest NFL draft pick
TrueAndBlue

Then it would be tied with McMahon at 5th overall pick.

Exactly.

His point is, it was only because of any injury that got Ziggy the opportunity

Was his talent really that disguised? NFL scouts apparently didn't think so.

as has been pointed out, Bronco was one of the first to label him an NFL guy

You think we have Ziggy's all over the team and the only reason

Gotta admit, that would be a great problem to have.

I agree. I think it is the latter option as well.

Yep, Bronco was predicting it quite early

Ability and knowing how to play football are not the same thing.

Do you want Mo out on the field his Fr. or So. years too?

So we should have benched Manumaleuna even though Ziggy seemed semi-clueless?
mulletYno
5/4/15 11:12am
People who suggest that are idiots. However, we start two DE's.
Left Shark Coug
5/4/15 11:15am
We had 3 four-year starters on the DL that year, until injuries hit.
SoCalCoug
5/4/15 11:58am
Actually, 4: Dulan, Manumaleuna, Fuga, Tialavea, all seniors

Clearly, which based on the odds is a very smart thing to do at BYU.

Interesting question, but I don't think it's "either or"
PlanoCougar

I think the problem is BYU fans overestimate the number of "freak athletes"

This is a legitimate gripe

This is a great point. We just don't have that many players of that

The defense is predicated on system responsibility. At least that is how I see
