Exactly. But then add to that the fact that out of USU's rated, current recruits (that haven't already committed elsewhere) 16% are from Utah, compare that to the current USU roster where 35% of players are from Utah and the story completely falls apart. To me it looks like either USU is now having less recruiting success in Utah than they were previously or USU's "prized" recruits (2 stars, or maybe 3) are coming from CA and TX where 2 stars are consider table-scraps and then filling in the rest of the roster with the table-scraps from Utah high schools.

If I didn't know anything about football in Utah I could have looked past the lack of supporting arguments in the article and given the author the benefit of the doubt, but ...

Well the writer is directing his article to the USU fan in Logan. So based off of their football program and the fact that the fans will chant "Overrated!" while being down 20+ I think it is pretty safe to say that his audience knows nothing about football in Utah or in general.
:D

This should be a "no brainer" which is exactly why I don't take Riley Nelson serious as a BYU Quarterback and won't until he shows something on the field more than he did at USU or last year. A good "field general/scrambler/running qb/decision maker/pocket passer" at USU does not equate to the same thing at the Y and never will. When we have to start competing for talent with USU we are really out of any reliant national football discussion.

Go Cougars!
