BYU running back Riley Burt patiently waits for his chance

BYU football fans have pounded reporters’ email inboxes with that question a lot this season, and even more after freshman Ula Tolutau’u was suspended for allegedly running afoul of the law (marijuana possession) and promising sophomore KJ Hall was re-injured in the first half of the San Jose State game.

After redshirting last year, Burt started the 2017 season at running back — he had some sensational runs as a freshman in 2015 — but was briefly moved to defense when the season started. He was moved back to running back after the Utah State game.
