BYU assistant coach Ed Lamb says soph Joe Critchlow is strong candidate to be starting QB; junior Beau Hoge may switch positions

Former SUU head coach told alumni group in Cedar City last week that coaches want to pick a starter as quickly as possible

(Trent Nelson | The Salt Lake Tribune) Brigham Young Cougars quarterback Joe Critchlow (11) is brought down by Massachusetts Minutemen linebacker Leon Flanagan Jr. (54) as BYU hosts the University of Massachusetts, NCAA football in Provo, Saturday November 18, 2017.

BYU football coaches agree that keeping opening-game opponent Arizona in the dark regarding which of four candidates will be the Cougars’ starting quarterback on Sept. 1 in Tucson has some strategic value.
