Mack and Asiata have 544 yards rushing, Unga has 366, and Unga and Vakapuna 443.

MRD is a turncoat, and the rest of you are biased.

Unga also played for slightly more than one half of the last two games.

Harvey and Fui have 90 carries for 443 yards, he has been stopped for a loss once this year for -3 yards. They are averaging 4.8 yards per carry and have scored 4 rushing touchdowns. They also has 19 receptions for 166 yards and 4 more tds. Total touches: 119, touches per tds: 14.875

Mack/Asiata have 107 carries for 544 yards, that is a nice number, they also have great receiving numbers 10 catches for 104 yards combined. 7 combined touchdowns: Toutal Touches: 117, TDs per touch: 16.8.

Lets add in the fact that BYU has thrown 45 more passes this year than Utah and this number could be even larger.

I'd say that both teams have the RBs they need.

Rather stupid poll. Both teams should be happy with their RBs.

The real question is whether you'd rather have two good backs or one. I think the answer is obvious.

So then why did you vote the way you did?

Didn't Utah almost have all 3 backs?

That's scary.

I'm a turncoat because i believe Unga is a better back than Mack/asiata? Remember you can only have one RB run the football at a time. do you even watch the games?

That's why I think my comparison is a fair one. Unga is in the game a lot more and carries the ball more than either of the other two. Have you ever heard of fatihue or injury risk and their relation to carries?

Do you think having two excellent tailbacks is the same as having two excellent quarterbacks? How could you think that?

I watch the games that are available.
