    Kid could never take a hit. Also he went to BYU where there is extreme pressure to go on a mission, and guys who don't are looked down on. The official term is Pre-Mi (short for Pre-Mission). I've got some BYU relatives who were all but declaring national titles in Provo. I'll say this as well, Provo might be the toughest place to be a quarterback. The wide receiver could drop the perfect pass and the QB would get the blame. I only say this after I witnessed the 97 game in Provo as my cousin's berated the quarterback when the defense gave up like 40+.

    It just pains me when I see kids that are being guided through life with parents that are trying to live through them instead of parents that are trying to provide opportunities for the kids to be in positions for the best success possible. Some view this as the same thing ... they are so vastly different.

    Heaps' parents should've paid kids to pick fights with him and make him tuff.

    If you can't take the hits, stay off the grass!

    I like the part where he sees the Utah defenders, and jumps away from the ball.

    The mean streets of the plateau just scream 'toughness'.

    Fuck. I hate youth sports.

    BYU fans are not living in the same reality as the rest of us (See "The Book of Mormon"; published 1830).

    HTH.

    Celestial jumpsuit is the preferred nomenclature.
