If Jamal Williams is an NFL RB, I think Tyler Allgier looks the part.

POLL: Is Tyler Allgeier a top 10 RB in college football?

Heading into 2021 he is. Had a great season last year so deserves the recognition.

I don't think I could name 1 RB from any other team, so I don't know

This. It's too hard to know when you're not really steeped in other teams' RBs

No idea. I don't think I can name a non-BYU RB.

He's very good but we had an elite OL destroying G5 dregs most of the year.

Like Boise State

Like 75% of our schedule

He had 4.7 yards after contact. That has nothing to do with the OL and it translates across competition levels.

I think he's legit. But with a better OL you are to get further without being

This is not the case according to advanced statistics. Yards after contact is largely independent of the OL talent and

Do you have a link to back that up, because it is not intuitive

ayfan

6/15/21 1:57pm

The dominant OL is reflected in yards before contact. If you have a dominant OL, they will swallow up defenders

Its common for RB's to get hit right at the LOS, last year Allgeier frequently

ayfan

6/15/21 2:28pm

It doesn’t defy common sense at all. Hitting huge holes is yards before contact. Those holes have no bearing on your

The reason they don't line someone up way behind the LOS

Your logic here actually contradicts exactly what you're saying. In an earlier post you are saying that if someone hits

I'm not contradicting myself

You clearly have zero clue what you're talking about.

You're assuming the RB continues to accelerate most people are at top speed

Kajdin

6/15/21 4:33pm

Sprinters don't hit their top speed in the first 30 meters

ayfan

6/15/21 4:40pm

Yep, the key will be OL play. If they can open holes, he'll be a load.

Most great RBs have great OLs. Id wager all. Because RBs go as the OL goes

Not Barry Sanders, sadly.

I think he’s a system guy that is very productive in BYU’s offense

System guy who has over 150 carries and 4.7 yards after contact? Here's that list in college football last year

It's like the same argument as with Wilson. Sure, he didn't play P5 teams, but

What surprised my last year about Allgeier

hrcocoug

6/15/21 1:09pm

Ran a 4.5 forty in the combine they did last yr. He is fast for 220 lbs

Dr T-bone

6/15/21 1:27pm

Pretty impressive to run the same time as McChesney, a top Utah HS Sprinter

ayfan

6/15/21 1:46pm

He ran a 4.39 at the one they did this year

molodyets

6/15/21 2:42pm

And that was laser timed with the pro day equipment, not hand timed.

I vaguely remember that, but couldn't find the post

Dr T-bone

Many BYU fans have made up their mind that he's a "bruiser" type of running back.

Rise Against

6/15/21 2:45pm

Before last season he ran a 4.5 flat same as McChesney.

Yes, and anyone who doesn't think he is should delete their account.

I know he's not Breece Hall, but can't name others; PFF says he's #9
