If Luke got as many touches as Harvey, that rushing record wouldn't be close. Luke had over 1500 in ONE season. A healthy Luke Staley is second to no one in BYU history.

Luke, and it’s not really close.

Reasoning? Seemed wonder how others would do with Luke's o-line?

A healthy Luke was head and shoulders better.

I agree he was the most talented, but he couldn’t stay on the fields save his

But he wasn’t healthy. You can’t play the what if game.

Ok, Doak Walker Trophy 2001. There's an accomplishment for you.

And, I might add, it was very well deserved. He was the best back in the whole

That a guy with that much talent had such terrible knees and ankles was the

It really is unfortunate. He was an amazing talent.

Jamaal. He played against much tougher opponents than Luke ever did.

Plus he shared the backfield with Taysom.

I don't think there's a wrong choice between Jamaal and Luke. I'd take either before Harvey.

Harvey was amazing strength and speed/ shiftiness. Would have the record

Luke Staley was incredible.

Luke was great but the chance of him finishing a season would be nearly zero

HighHorse

Harvey was a threat for a good gain each play

Dan

I'd go with Jamaal. So consistent. Staley was amazing, but that was just one yr.

sportsbro

8/12/18 4:48pm

Love all. I'd go Luke, Unga & Williams. Jamaal is the only one to play 4 years.

Jamaal, Luke, Unga

To anyone who actually watched Luke Staley play, this is an easy question.

I watched Staley play and based on Jamaal’s sr year, I give him the edge
