To me the what if is if they would have just doubled down and made Locker a mostly running QB. His speed in 2007 was burning Ohio State whenever he wanted. I would say the program did him a solid and made him enough of a passer so he would be a Top 10 pick but the team may have been better had they ran more of just a pure read option offense.Dare I say Locker at QB? He was not garbage his first 2 years with Ty but then had upward trajectory with Sark.
Injured a lot. Like at uw unfortunately. His y/c at byu was actually really good his first year byu among the national leaders. His last year he only played 9 games and was often hurt.Also Puka is a weird one because he didn't really do that much at BYU either playing against lesser competition.
Gotta agree. Locker didn't have what it took to be a pocket passer and the OL was always too much of a train wreck anyways. Had Sark fully committed to the running game complimented by simple, take what they give passingl from the start they would've done better than 7-6 and a Holiday bowl. Might've even hung within 3 scores of Oregon once or twice.To me the what if is if they would have just doubled down and made Locker a mostly running QB.

The story you present does not add upJohnny Kirton was a modern day mystery, I always felt like he should have been on the field somewhere and Chris Hemphill is another interesting answer… As i recall, he was the keynote speaker at the Suddenly Senior event that was the directed finger target of the supremely elegant thought process of Willingham
As i remember it, there were like 5 guys that had been in the dawg house; guys we were going to need the following season and were seemingly ready to finally make a potentially powerful contribution ~ and were summarily thrown out of the program via suddenly senior status.
I bitched about that calling out for Willinghams head on Dawgman, was educated regarding my lack of etiquette and correct thinking, and left the board [didn’t know about HCH]
Not the Stanford onesAll tight ends from the Chris Petersen era.
