PROVO — Having to fill in for injured players has been an unfortunate theme for the BYU football team this year, with the latest player stepping in being outside linebacker Morgan Unga. What has been fortunate is when players, such as Unga, step in and peform admirably.
Unga replaced injured outside linebacker Fred Warner during BYU's 41-20 win over San Jose State last week, and he earned praise from both coaches and players.
