Hey Harmon-
Are you too blinded by your love for BYU to accurately report and write objective articles? Max Hall was sacked and fumbled the ball in the first game of the season against UNI.
Do your research Harmon.

UNI, if you took the time to read all of Harmon's articles, you would know that in the UNI game the fumble did not count as a sack, but as a fumble and recovery. Why don't you do your research before jumping all over the guy for doing his job?

Because all UNI wanted to do was complain.

Ref: UNI
Even if the fumble was conceded as a lousy sack it still doesn't stretch the imagination that UNI plays football on a scale well above D II.............. and as for Dick Harmon being the best sports writer in the nation....please, whoever Ref: go back to DII is. get out of town once in a while and quit picking old DN newspapers out of the trash....there's a whole world of sports and writers out there.....expand your horizens a little.

Technically (according to NCAA rules) the fumble recovered for a touchdown should have been recorded as a sack (see, "Upon Further Review" KSL.com) however it was not. We may see that stat amended at some point, but the fact still remains that our O-Line is giving great protection and Max has become much better at reading the D, finding the right man and delivering the ball quicker than last season! Go COUGARS!!! GO MWC!!!!

Why would I read all of DH's articles if he clearly doesn't report from an objective view?
Whether it was recorded as a sack or not, the article is still misleading making the reader believe that Max Hall hasn't been touched all season.
