This is a complete turnaround for me. Throughout the offseason and the early part of this season I’ve advocated for Tanner Mangum as the starting quarterback. I still don’t put the lion’s share of the offensive woes on his shoulders.
But it’s time to give Zach Wilson his chance with this offense.
There’s one caveat to this. If Kalani Sitake plans to have Wilson redshirt, and if that redshirt would be an important part of BYU Football’s long-term schedule, then the Cougars should go ahead and ride it out with Mangum.
But that’s a big if, especially after last weekend.
