One will be senior quarterback Riley Nelson, who hasn’t really given much thought concerning it being his last home game in LaVell Edwards Stadium. http://byu.scout.com/2/1237233.html 2047 Talo Steves http://byu.scout.com/2/1237233.html Wed, 07 Nov 2012 00:00:00 GMT 1 338 BYU byu On the last day of media availability, senior quarterback Riley Nelson faced the media one last time before the Cougars of BYU get set to travel to the south to face the Yellow Jackets of Georgia Tech. http://byu.scout.com/2/1233339.html 2047 Talo Steves http://byu.scout.com/2/1233339.html Thu, 25 Oct 2012 01:46:00 GMT 1 338 BYU byu Riley Nelson addresses questions concerning the game against Notre Dame, the loss of Braden Hansen on the offensive line, the quick turnaround to face Georgia Tech, and what the Cougars can expect to see from the Yellow Jacket defense. http://byu.scout.com/2/1232647.html 2047 Talo Steves http://byu.scout.com/2/1232647.html Tue, 23 Oct 2012 03:10:00 GMT 0 338 BYU byu As BYU gets ready to hit the road to face No. 5 Notre Dame on Saturday, there are a lot of questions surrounding the importance of this game. Cougar quarterback Riley Nelson addressed some of those and other questions from the media. http://byu.scout.com/2/1231109.html 2047 Talo Steves http://byu.scout.com/2/1231109.html Thu, 18 Oct 2012 01:49:00 GMT 1 338 BYU byu Brandon Gurney of the Salt Lake City Deseret News offers five key offensive players to watch for BYU when the Irish host the Cougars Saturday in South Bend. http://notredame.scout.com/2/1230608.html 2047 Tim O'Malley http://notredame.scout.com/2/1230608.html Wed, 17 Oct 2012 15:07:00 GMT 1 109 Notre Dame notredame If the Cougars are going to be competitive against Notre Dame, they’ll have to be good, really good. For the Cougar offense, that means few mistakes and turnovers, unlike what occurred against Oregon State. BYU’s offense will have to make the plays when it counts the most, or else it will be a long flight home. http://byu.scout.com/2/1230781.html 2047 Talo Steves http://byu.scout.com/2/1230781.html Wed, 17 Oct 2012 02:50:00 GMT 1 338 BYU byu Riley Nelson sat out the past two games to heal a back injury while true freshman quarterback Tasyom Hill took over in his stead. So, how close was Nelson to playing against Utah State, the team he once transferred from? Nelson was very, very close. http://byu.scout.com/2/1227915.html 2047 Talo Steves http://byu.scout.com/2/1227915.html Tue, 09 Oct 2012 04:25:00 GMT 1 338 BYU byu Over the past several years the quarterback position has been in fluctuation at BYU, whether due to injuries or poor performances. This Friday as BYU gets set to face Hawaii, the quarterback position could once again be in a state of flux. http://byu.scout.com/2/1225122.html 2047 Talo Steves http://byu.scout.com/2/1225122.html Tue, 25 Sep 2012 23:50:00 GMT 1 338 BYU byu Game planning and scheming is essential to the success of a football team, and whether a team wins or loses, there is plenty to draw upon heading into the next competition. The Cougars look to take the experiences they’ve had and apply them in a short week of preparation for Boise State. http://byu.scout.com/2/1222834.html 2047 Talo Steves http://byu.scout.com/2/1222834.html Tue, 18 Sep 2012 19:02:00 GMT 0 338 BYU byu The Cougars look to whip away the sour taste of last season’s loss to Utah from their mouths. They will need to accomplish a few things in order to achieve this end when they take to the road for the first time this year against their old nemesis Utah. http://byu.scout.com/2/1221045.html 2047 Talo Steves http://byu.scout.com/2/1221045.html Thu, 13 Sep 2012 01:36:00 GMT 0 338 BYU byu There were some pleasant surprises that came out of the Washington State game, and there were also some revelations that weren’t so positive. The Cougars will have some time to address some of those issues as they face the Wildcats of Weber State at LaVell Edwards Stadium this Saturday. http://byu.scout.com/2/1218238.html 2047 Talo Steves http://byu.scout.com/2/1218238.html Wed, 05 Sep 2012 01:53:00 GMT 1 338 BYU byu Following Monday’s practice, Riley Nelson met with the media and talked about the upcoming game against Washington State and other topics.

Well, a lot more than most might think, which is why freshman and even sophomore gunslingers often struggle. While senior quarterback Riley Nelson doesn’t have a full season his belt, he is a gamer. But what will be the difference for him this year in comparison to last? http://byu.scout.com/2/1214262.html 2047 Talo Steves http://byu.scout.com/2/1214262.html Thu, 23 Aug 2012 22:31:00 GMT 0 338 BYU byu Cougars travel to South Bend after Irish entertain Stanford and just prior to Notre Dame's trip to Norman to take on the Sooners. http://notredame.scout.com/2/1203715.html 2047 Tim O'Malley http://notredame.scout.com/2/1203715.html Thu, 19 Jul 2012 19:00:00 GMT 0 109 Notre Dame notredame Yes, spring camp has been pretty heated between the offense and defense, and the highly competitive Riley Nelson has been right in the middle of it. He may be a quarterback, but that doesn't mean he will back down from a challenge or be afraid to mix it up. The senior signal-caller spoke to the media on Friday about the heated first week of spring camp and the progress the offense is making. http://byu.scout.com/2/1166227.html 2047 Matt Hodge http://byu.scout.com/2/1166227.html Sat, 10 Mar 2012 05:37:00 GMT 0 338 BYU byu Tulsa’s defensive statistics aren’t pretty, but the Golden Hurricane have played a brutal schedule this season against four top 10 teams – losing to all four – and have gone up against some of the nation’s most prolific offenses. Meanwhile, Tulsa’s defensive coordinator is very familiar with BYU. http://byu.scout.com/2/1142979.html 2047 Matt Hodge http://byu.scout.com/2/1142979.html Thu, 29 Dec 2011 01:02:00 GMT 1 338 BYU byu Whether or not Riley Nelson plays this Saturday is anyone’s guess. However, if it were up to Nelson, he would play despite the fact that he hasn’t gone through the recommended recovery time yet. Nelson said he feels there’s more behind his rapid recovery than medical assistance and personal rehab. http://byu.scout.com/2/1134440.html 2047 Talo Steves http://byu.scout.com/2/1134440.html Thu, 01 Dec 2011 04:01:00 GMT 1 338 BYU byu
