Wayshawn Parker

I think I tweeted it before last season.

um that my sneaky favorite backfield in the country was devon uh devon dampier and wayshawn parker and they've been such a joy to just watch weekend and week out for two years now um just electric um uh they they mixed bird franklin in there as well um at quarterback um that defense hasn't really missed a beat and so this is going to be fun i and i think utah is going to have a chance to make a statement because i don't think enough people are taking them seriously like a couple weeks ago byu was ranked number two ucf took them down And I kind of told you guys afterwards, I don't think BYU should have been ranked number two walking into that.

I genuinely believe this Utah team is one of the five best teams in college football.

They're ranked number three right now.

That's my biggest thing.

I mean, you look at Dan Peer and Wayshawn Parker.

Like, those guys are a problem at running back and at quarterback, man.

So I think they're just too dynamic.

That sets up a battle of backfields that is probably the best in all of college football this weekend.

If you put Bear Bachmeier and LJ Martin on one side and Devin Dampier and Wayshawn Parker on the other, the interesting thing about that too, they're all so different.

Bear Bachmeier runs, but he kind of lumbers.

He lays, you know, lays the wood, puts the hammer down, whatever expression you want to use.

And we're looking at two teams that play a very different style of football.

The first thing I want you to understand is Utah is this explosive, dynamic, we'll use way Sean Parker in the pass game and in the run game.

And man, our wide receiver core to our tight ends from Braden Pagan to Noah Benny, you are two options at quarterback.

We are dynamic.

This is a grueling, gross, defensive game.

Again, thread the needle, stall out in the red zone.

And where Utah is going to, like, Utah's got way Sean Parker, dog.

Utah's good, no doubt, but both teams are in a bend, don't break, and BYU comes out on top, one field goal ahead, and I don't think it's in comeback fashion.

Start with the O-line, then obviously go to quarterback.

Played against Dampier last year and Wayshawn Parker.

I believe Kevin Obott's out for the season, but you still got a good offensive line.

Exactly.

And we're going to be able to, we're going to have to be able to contain him in the pocket.

And just when we have the opportunities to get him down, we got to get him down here.

Wayshawn Parker, obviously the wide receivers as well, very talented people.

So we're gonna have to wrap up on our tackles, just gotta clean those up and just continue to keep our eyes, not fall for the eye candy.

But there have been some lapses where they've let guys kind of let loose a little bit and break off the 20, 30-yard run.

I think Wayshawn Parker is a guy who, if you can contain him the way that Colorado did, it really slows down their offense.

Colorado did a fantastic job keeping Utah from being able to run the ball with much success, with Dan Peer included.

So Wayshawn Parker is a guy I want to watch on Utah's end.

On BYU's side, I have had a couple players.

One is Preston Rex.

High scoring affair.

Number five, Wayshawn Parker, Utah, against BYU.

I think he'll have a good day.

They should have ball control, so he'll be a big part of that.

The defense looks like it's, I'm not sure how good this defense is.

I'm not sure what kind of answers they're going to have for Wayshawn Parker and Devin Dampier and this Utah run game and what that opens up in the pass game.

And again, the BYU offense without LJ Martin just isn't what it was supposed to be coming into the season.

I don't know how well BYU can run the ball.
