The pressure of being the quarterback at BYU is enormous. The tradition of the position at the school speaks for itself.
Extra pressure is added on for senior quarterbacks at BYU, as history proves that they perform extraordinarily well.
This season, BYU fields another senior quarterback as Riley Nelson enters his first full season as starting quarterback.
Take a look at Nelson's journey, through his eyes, to becoming the "guy" at BYU in this True Blue "Rise Up" feature.

I'll admit it, I was a Heaps guy before Nelson took over. Now, I just love the fact we have this kind of attitude leading the team. Here's hoping to a great year. 1 more day!
