In BYU’s offensive scheme, running backs have to not only be effective runners - Harvey Unga was named a Freshman All-American last season - but they have to know the fundamentals of being an all-around complete back. So where does this group go from here? http://byu.scout.com/2/740893.html 2047 Talo Steves http://byu.scout.com/2/740893.html Wed, 26 Mar 2008 23:07:00 GMT 1 338 BYU byu BYU fullback Manase Tonga talks about the difficulties of winning back-to-back conference championships, and about keeping focused on completing the season on a winning note. http://byu.scout.com/2/705808.html 2047 Talo Steves http://byu.scout.com/2/705808.html Tue, 27 Nov 2007 07:43:00 GMT 1 338 BYU byu With Fui Vakapuna and Harvey Unga holding out of spring camp to get themselves healthy, BYU fullback Manase Tonga has been taking a lot of the reps with the first team offense.

The good news is that many candidates have already logged a lot of playing time during games. Although the cadre of candidates at the running back position are viable replacements, matching everything Curtis Brown brought to the team should prove an arduous task. http://byu.scout.com/2/623671.html 2047 Brandon Gurney http://byu.scout.com/2/623671.html Sun, 04 Mar 2007 11:23:00 GMT 1 338 BYU byu
