Riley Nelson is an interesting topic because I'm not sure what exactly to expect.
He doesn't blow you away with his physical abilities, but all the kid has ever done is win, and seems to have the intangibles required. While watching the Boise State/Louisana Tech game last week the announcers were commenting on their production meeting they had with the BSU Coaches and Coach Peterson. They are starting a Redshirt Freshman at QB this year who so far is ripping it up. Coach Peterson said the LAST thing they look at when evaluating a QB is his arm strength. They're more interested in his intelligence and his ability to win and be a leader. Call me crazy, and I'm not advocating that Nelson is the future at QB for the long term for BYU, but I do think there's a lot there to like and he's being underated and undervalued by many fans.

Indy, perhaps you haven't noticed but Mendenhall is on slightly more stable turf than Crowton in 2003. Secondly, Heaps will not be a true freshman who had not played competitively for 3 years. It is a bit of a similar instance of program mismanagement, but most of us can realize that such a miscue would be the exception rather than the rule.
In a perfect world he would go and get a stop gap JC after this year. I understand when Munns came to Provo he was not planning a mission, then changed his mind sometime last winter. I would think finding a JC transfer to back up next year, or redshirt, and then be around for two would be wise.

Kellen Moore (Boise's QB) is a great example - he was absolutely dominant in High School, put up crazy numbers and won football games, but because he lacked ideal size and arm strength he was completely overlooked in the recruiting process. |

Senior - 12 + two players who will likely go on missions following the year (Shiloah and Manti Teo). That means that BYU's defense will return 2 starters and a total of 8 in the two deep from 2009 to 2010. That is why I say huge rebuilding year. I still think the collective talent is high enough to win 7 games.

Defensively as well. It will be a rough year.
