Rough Start to the Week…
But better days ahead with the week ending with a Saturday scrimmage.

RB University?

We are trending in the right direction. Currently, the depth of the RB room is struggling big time with fumblitis. Nothing will shelve a BYU runningback faster than a fumbling issue. The bug has bitten our young RBs bad. This is one of those critical points of emphasis that have kept some of our emerging star RBs sidelined the last two seasons. Can it be corrected? Absolutely. In the meantime, former QB and Built Bar announcement poster boy has been moved to RB. Was the move the result of the fumble bug? TBD. New RB – flyin Hawaiin – is currently shelved with an injury.


QB Room Still Well Under Construction

Retzlaff is yet to take any meaningful reps this spring. Thus far the spring has been driven by Slovis taking all the QB1 reps, followed by Fennegan – unchallenged at QB2. Billoups and Burton have been sharing the QB3 reps. With Billoups move to RB, you can expect Burton to get more of the QB3 reps – which are very limited in our system.

Fesi Is Going to Really Have to Earn His $ In 2023

He is absolutely equal to the challenge – time will tell. The WR week began with a PWO WR leaving the team. That is the 3rd WR lost in the last week. Hall hasn’t competed in the spring – and missed quite a bit of practice time in the Fall with random injuries. Latest injury came from a car wreck. So your depth at WR is Hill, Epps, Roberts, Nyberg, Gunther, Dom Henry, and then Koa Eldredge. There is no one else in that room who will likely see any reps in 2023. Why all the attrition? Every player has a story – keeping in mind that 5 WRs will join the team in the Fall with Phillips being the only scholarship player. It is very, very unlikely that a WR who joins the team in the summer will ever play meaningful minutes during the season. WR is the most complicated position to master – outside of QB.
