that would lead them to the promised land and Riley ruined that by dividing the team. Problem was that Heaps was not a good college QB, he simply wasn't. Nelson wasn't great, but he was pretty darn good when he played prior to him being injured. Playing in the Boise St game was on the coaches.
I look back and wonder how much worse those years would have been without Riley transferring in. They would have been really, really bad.
