In 2008 Pitta was often lined up in the slot as a receiver. Maybe not designated as a WR but I think the Top 3 WR/TEs makes a lot more sense than just WRs

What is the best WR trio in BYU history?

I think you're forcing the "trio" thing. 2008 was awesome, but Reed White really had nothing to do with that.

Just trying to take a deeper look at the position group as a whole.

And who are the oppnonents, etc.

Ham

That’s the idea. He’s looking at best overall group of 3. So if the top 2 are

Except, in this case, the top 2 are better than any other trio he mentioned. In fact, mainly, the top 1.

I doubt anyone argues that Collie doesn't have the single greatest season of any

2006 is a great example of this John Beck was slinging the ball to everyone

I like to pretend I remember every player at BYU.....no idea who Reed White is.

Yeah, that season could have been so much different if Reed hadn't gotten

WhiteKnight

you include TE's, the 1990 group still kills - you add 1st team AA, Chris Smith.

smokymountainrain

7/19/18 2:05pm

Actually pretty close, 1990 - 3213 total, 2008 - 3165, TDs 1990 loses 4 because

BYUFootballisBack

1996 you add Chad Lewis and Itula Mili. In 2006 you add Johnny Harline

WhiteKnight

7/19/18 2:10pm

Dustin Johnson also in 1996. Three excellent TEs that year!

Ham

dustin johnson was a FB

Hm. Not according to cougarstats.

Ham

7/19/18 2:33pm

yeah, that's wrong. if you remember watching those teams, you know he

smokymountainrain

7/19/18 2:37pm

give me smith over any of those guys.

smokymountainrain

7/19/18 2:25pm

Not competing, just listing great TEs. There's a lot of 'em!

WhiteKnight

7/19/18 3:24pm

Yeah... it was hard not including Harline and Pitta.

Ham

7/19/18 2:11pm

Koz, Bellini, Haysbert >>>>> the rest on that list

fulano

Going solely off yardage is difficult as well because you gotta control for QB

WhiteKnight

7/19/18 2:11pm

Would have loved to see Hoffman and Apo with Beck or Hall.

Lip Gallagher

7/19/18 3:03pm

Plater, Kozlowski and Balholm and Hudson at TE

RC Vikings

Collie got open against anyone in college, AND, anyone in the NFL

This is the group that came to my mind as well. (Stats)
