There's a really wild theory out there that the Mormon demographic alone can't field a top notch BYU football team. So based on that theory, that trend might be an interesting one.

How about this:

modeling decline in BYU football with decline in number of missionaries.

I'll bet there is a correlation, and it has to do with LDS demographics.

Add DiLugi and Kessman to that list as well.

Are these all black LDS? If so, impressive, I didn't realize it. The number of black LDS that have contributed significantly in the past is very small.

It makes me wonder how we have so many so fast. Is it a trend or an anomaly? All of these guys are yet to contribute to the program with the exception of Kehl. Are these guys that good?

But this definitely is a trend that is good for us if it holds up.

They aren't LDS AAs.
