BYU football: What others are saying - Senior quarterback Max Hall keeping BYU tradition

Tulane Green Wave quarterback Joe Kemp has spent hours this week watching tape of one BYU player. What's odd is that the player Kemp has been scouting doesn't play defense.

In trying to settle in during his first season as Tulane's starter, Kemp studied Cougars senior quarterback Max Hall, the latest in BYU's lineage of outstanding quarterbacks.

"It seemed like he was having surgery on every ball," Kemp said. "The underneath ball is perfect there. The thing about him is he has really good feet. That's something that I have definitely been working on. I stayed after (practice Monday) and worked some extra drills."

Hall has become a model quarterback, rising in BYU's hallowed ranks. The 329 yards he passed for in upsetting then-No. 3 Oklahoma last week moved Hall into sixth place all-time in passing yards at BYU, putting him in the company of Steve Young, Ty Detmer, Jim McMahon, Robbie Bosco and John Walsh.

"It really doesn't matter," Hall said. "People are going to talk and make comparisons. I can't let it bother me; I am who am."
