Something has become very clear as I’ve studied game footage of the 2015 BYU football season. It’s funny that somehow it’s been forgotten.
Tanner Mangum is a star.
There’s simply no other way to describe it. No one but a star could not waltz into Memorial Stadium and do what he did against Nebraska. He did the same in the Boise State game, not to mentioned his heroics in the fourth quarter against East Carolina, as well as Utah in the Vegas Bowl.
Somehow, Cougar Nation forgot that season, his 3,377 passing yards and 23 touchdown passes.
