Maehl is a stud. Can't wait to see him over the next few years!!
FORT COLLINS, Colo. (Nov. 13, 2010) â€" Senior receiver Luke Ashworth had a record-setting day to help BYU drum Colorado State 49-10 Saturday at Hughes Stadium in Fort Collins, Colo.
The senior from Provo, Utah, became the first player in the history of the Provo-based school to score four touchdowns in a single half while equaling the team record for the most scoring receptions in a game. His four touchdown grabs also tied a Mountain West Conference record and set a new Hughes Stadium mark.
Ashworth's four TD grabs were his only receptions of the game, finishing with a career-high 113 yards. On the other end of the touchdowns was freshman quarterback Jake Heaps, who went 15-of-20 for 242 yards and a career-high four touchdowns in three quarters of play.
The Cougars opened the scoring with their longest drive of the year, highlighted by their longest play of the season. Culminating a four-play, 89-yard drive, the Cougars successfully executed a flea-flicker with Ashworth on the receiving end of a 62-yard bomb. Heaps handed off to Di Luigi on the play, who returned the ball to the freshman quarterback to deliver the long scoring strike down the right sideline ...
After going up 14-0 on a 7-yard pass to Ashworth ...
Following Rich's interception, Heaps teamed with Ashworth for the third time in the first half, this time on a 36-yard throw that Ashworth leaped up to catch over the defender at the goal line. Ashworth's third touchdown catch also put him over 100 receiving yards for the day, the first 100-yard outing by a Cougar receiver this season.
But with BYU leading 28-0 Ashworth was not done yet. After the BYU defense forced a punt, Heaps and the offense drove 82 yards to paydirt, with Heaps finding Ashworth for an 8-yard score to make the senior receiver the first Cougar since Kirk Pendleton in 1983 to equal the school record of four touchdowns catches in a game. John VanDerWouden is the only other Cougar to catch four passes for touchdowns in a game, doing so, ironically, against Colorado State in 1976.
Seems like he'll continue the legacy of Anthony Gonzalez and Brian Hartline. I've scene draft boards with him anywhere from 4th round to 7th. I except him to move up draft boards when he "shocks" scouts, GMs, and DWFs with better than expected combine numbers.whiteathlete33 said:Sanzenbacher has been impressive this season with plenty of long catches.

FootballDad said:A combine invite for Sanzenbacher is no sure thing, either. How many white receivers have received invites in the past decade or so? Not many. He'll be pigeonholed as a "slot receiver possibility" having "no long speed" and "lacking explosion", and if he really is fast, it's just "sneaky speed". Not having a "room-brightening smile" is the killer, though.
