While praising the ability of quarterback Riley Nelson, BYU offensive coordinator Brandon Doman blames himself for not allowing the offense to "create an identity" in 2011.
Doman believes Nelson should be mentioned in the same breath as many of the great Cougars quarterbacks. While that might be a bit much praise at this point, Doman – a former BYU signal caller who went 14-2 as a starter – states that Nelson has the ability to do everything that BYU’s quarterbacks have done in the past. That’s why as OC he needs to simplify the offense and allow Nelson’s talent to shine. Nelson ranks eighth in pass efficiency among the nation’s returning quarterbacks.

After taking over as the starting quarterback in-season last year, Riley is No. 1 for the first time in spring practice.
The Cougars went 8-1 after Nelson took over for Jake Heaps, who has transferred. Nelson deserves his ranking as the starting quarterback from the get-go this spring, something that will allow him to continue to solidify his standing with the No. 1 unit. Still, you will not find Nelson resting on his laurels.

BYU’s Riley Nelson threw for 363 yards and 3 touchdowns in a 41-20 win at Hawaii.
Nelson was 25-of-37 with his completion total just four shy of his previous season high for attempts. His previous high for yards passing was 219 on Oct. 8 against San Jose State, which was his first start of 2011.

Though he says he will need some medication, BYU quarterback Riley Nelson intends to be ready to start at Hawaii on Saturday.
Nelson suffered lung and cartilage damage against Idaho on Nov. 12 and missed the Nov. 19 game against New Mexico State. The Cougars had a bye last week. Nelson took over for Jake Heaps as the No. 1 QB during the Sept. 30 against Utah State. BYU won that game and the next three with Nelson at the helm before losing to TCU on Oct. 28. The junior has thrown for 1,104 yards and 13/5 while rushing for 379 yards and a TD.
