Summary

With respect to the BYU coaches, who certainly know more about football than I do, but who may not be able to see the trees for the forest (read that: the players for the team), you will not have a great football team with Riley Nelson as the quarterback, or the quarterback keeper as your "go to" offensive play.

I love Riley. Wish he could play next year as well.

There's one game left, a largely meaningless game. After that, both Riley and James will be gone. My guess is that Riley will start, but James will get some playing time. That would be fair to both players. It would also be a nice way for both More..

I hope the coaches will do the right thing -- the logical thing -- and play the best player (James Lark). Game performance is all that matters -- that is, if you want to win.
