Sad, he was one of my favorite players as a kid

Do any of you know when he was diagnosed with ALS?

At the Liberty game they said he's been battling it for the past year

Holy crap. ALS is tough

This line ticks me off...

Agree 100% - this should be done now!

I wonder how many more classes he needs to graduate? Would LOVE to see him in..

BYU could give an honorary degree, no? Slippery slope though for others later

Dan

In this case, where Kyle has an incurable disease, I think it is warranted.

He was a great player. That play against Hawaii was HUGE.

Regarding "the play" against Hawaii ...

Dan

Thanks for pointing that out dan. I was almost ready to celebrate his life and

"the play" is awesome without any implications of its impact. I never thought

cause momentum is not a real thing

Garn

We're you there? I was. Huge momentum change after that stop.

It's not with hindsight that we talk about the impact of that play, but rather how we all saw the situation as that play

I was not there in person

Dan

Lots of ifs there Dan.

Sorry Punk, the flip side has way more "ifs"

Dan

You said “if” in like every other sentence.

ALS sucks...bad. Life expectancy is 2-5 years from diagnosis.

Easily a top 5 play in BYU history was his dive over the line.

(Private)

11/19/19 2:16pm

Agreed, but it wasn't just "the play" that defined him

bluegato

11/19/19 2:26pm

I remember listening to the play...

Lost my best friend to ALS...so sad to watch. Wishing him and his fam the best.

11/19/19 2:38pm

Vai was right. That play by him is probably the single biggest play in BYU footb

idacoug

11/19/19 3:20pm

That is sad to hear. I met Kyle at BYU

pappabear246

He doesn’t have much time left
