I'm trying to recall the details of the Riley Nelson comeback vs.Ut. St. in 2011

One of the worse things to ever happen to BYU football.

I could probably use any of the available reactions on this post

Riley was decent to good when healthy

A healthy RN would've been just fine with the defense those BYU teams had.

He couldn’t even throw a spiral. Mendenhall just loved him cause he was tough

Clueless. When healthy his arm wasn't bad. He saw the field very well.

Yeah, he'd have been fine had he not broke his back

What did Lark do against anyone not NMSU?

All qbs struggled vs sdsu. Riley in one play picksix. Nmsu great pass d all year

Sitting in the end zone at ND, I can still see the awful throw to a wide open Hoffman. So bad. Would have been a score.

9/26/20 12:11pm

I was also in the opposite end zone of the direction he was throwing it...awful

RH84025

9/26/20 12:12pm

I was also in that endzone. Nelson missing wide open Hoffman haunted me foryears

A slip. It happens. Overall, Riley played very well that game.

SinkingQuffa

9/26/20 6:45pm

Exactly. We missed out on the jake heaps we saw at Kansas and Miami

Not really

Your beef is w Bronco for not recruiting better QBs then, he was the best option

Riley was decent when healthy, but there were two issues.

Would’ve been cool if he threw a spiral. Or threw to wide open receivers.

Oh give me a break.

Heaps was benched. Riley came in and slopped his way to victory

The TD pass that was thrown to a perfectly covered receiver, yet somehow popped

SandYFan

9/26/20 12:05pm

To be fair, even if it wasn't caught, it was gonna be PI

rggee

9/26/20 12:11pm

On the long play that got them down the field I’ve always wondered if Jacobsen

JollyGreenGiant

9/26/20 12:14pm

It definitely was intended for McKay, it just died like a wounded duck lol

Same thing happened to us vs. Tennessee last year

Riley threw terrible pass after terrible pass that somehow was completed.

SandYFan

9/26/20 12:03pm

Heaps was the starter. Half the team wanted Riley as their QB...

WJCougar

9/26/20 12:04pm

Yes the team supported Riley but

I'mBatman

9/26/20 12:18pm

Riley outperformed Heaps in practice and everyone on the team knew it. There

CougarScrub

9/26/20 2:15pm

BTW, I agree with your take on Riley. One of the receivers from that era served

CougarScrub

9/26/20 2:23pm

Yup. Good call.

Lark did good when he finally got his chance

OutsideObserver

9/26/20 1:54pm

I was on call at work, and got called in during the last drive. I was so upset

Squeegee

9/26/20 12:10pm

The team was kind of laying down in the first half...
