Simple fact - coaches had to choose - there was no way around it, and the edge went to a 5th year senior with excellent leadership skils (a good choice for a new coaching staff, as mentioned), a former Heisman Trophy candidate (as pointed out by TFD), who has battled through a ton of adversity, and still come back loyal as a true BYU guy, and who has the potential (if stays healthy) to have the magical season he's been trying his guts out to have since arriving at BYU.
