Luke Staley, Curtis Brown, Harvey Unga... Josh Quezada? The Cougars are looking to find the next great tailback to step up and fill the enormous void left by Harvey Unga's abrupt departure. Could that someone be freshman Josh Quezada (pronounced kay-za-duh)? While it is nice that BYU returns J.J Diluigi, it is also clear to anyone that was watching the Cougars last year that J.J is a 9 to 5 worker at the fumble factory. He is a decent back if he is able to get to the outside, but as soon as he gets any amount of contact the ball all of the sudden looks like it has been greased up with vegetable oil. Cougar fans can only hope that Diluigi will not see the bulk of the carries this year.
Put your money on Josh Quezada aka "Juice" to be the new back that takes the baton from Unga. Quezada is out of La Habra California and is built almost like Unga. He is 6'0 tall, weighs in at 200 lbs and he runs a 4.5 40. Take a quick look at this story on Quezada by clicking here
It is clear that he has bought in. Quezada even lopped off his Troy Polamalu-esque locks to show his dedication for the Cougs
While most of the attention this off season has gone to the Quarterback battle, if the Cougars want another 10 win season, Quezada will have to the go to guy, not Heaps/Nelson (take your pick).You can take a look at his high school highlights by clicking here... look out for the Juice
The juice is nice, eh?
