This Week is Make-or-Break Time for the BYU Cougars
Two weeks off, two weeks on…that’s how it has seemed to go for the Cougars this football season.
Two average games to start the season, two mind-blowing shutouts after that, and two head-scratching snoozefests after that.
But with games remaining at TCU, at Air Force, and at Utah, BYU can ill-afford to continue to play inconsistent football.

Attack of the Clones: Tim Tebow, Jake Locker, and Dan LeFevour
6′3″ 235
6′3″ 210
6′3 226
All sophomores.
All carried the ball at least 155 times. All rushed for double digit TDs. All rushed for at least 838 yards.
None of them had a rush over 47 yards. Tebow’s longest was 25 yards.
All 3 are the sole owners of their respective last names in D-IA football.
Clones? No. Interestingly close? Yes.
Has college football seen multiple quarterbacks out of this mold before? Big guys that sprint and crash their way to chunks of yards?
I’m not sure we’ve seen it before. They just go at people time after time after time. They’re not going to break off a 70 yard run. But they’ll eat up chunks of yards at a time and bruise a linebacker in the process.

Locker could easily get 70, and it’s strange he hasn’t, because he breaks tackles like an NFL back and is faster than Tebow. Tebow throws much better, but Locker’s primary ability is the run and he’s unmatched there.
ReplyYou list Jake Locker at 210 pounds, that is what he weighed in high school. In August when asked if 210 listed in his online profile was accurate, he said it was 15 pounds inaccurate, this was before the 2007 season started. So, right now he is most likely somewhere between 225 and 235.
ReplyGood call. Thanks.
