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.

then you would have to include vakapuna.... Let's be honest I am plenty happy with Mack and Asiata. I do however think that Unga despite the risk of injury and fatigue is a better option to have. Unga will be a first round selection. Mack and asiata will be later round selections

BTW every game except weber state is available... Have you watched every Utah game this season?

my reason in voting for asiata/mack is that i find when utah has 2 good running backs in the backfield, they are a much better team. while i think unga is an incredible athlete, i would take, for utah, the 1-2 punch of asiata and mack.

even if the question is which is more important to his team - mack and asiata v. unga, i would still go with mack and asiata for the same reason.

i hope that when all is said and done, asiata will end up being one of the utes playing on sundays. i'm sure that unga will be.

I would rather have Unga running and Vakapuna blocking. That's two people, you know, except in this case it's two people doing something at the same time.

I'm a turncoat too. Unga is the best RB to be in the same conference as the BYU and Utah since a guy named Faulk was tearing it up at SDSU. I just want him to go pro quickly.

I voted Mack & Asiata, because if one of them goes down, there's still one of them. Plus, they're both pretty good. However, if Unga goes down, we've got Vakapuna, Latu, and DiLuigi.

However, if we're voting by looks, I vote Unga. He's a good-looking guy.

Steve Tate would choose Unga.
