BYU Football: What history says about giving Zach Wilson a chance

Tanner Mangum played great in the third quarter against Arizona. Ever since then however, Mangum has looked…well…not great. The blame can’t be all thrown onto Mangum, though. If four or five of Mangum’s passes weren’t dropped BYU may have won the game against Cal. But they weren’t caught, and part of that is Mangum’s fault.

After re-watching the game, I counted eight times that the receivers touched the ball with both hands but didn’t come down with the catch. Six of those however, were thrown either behind the receiver or were put in a spot where the receiver would have taken a hard shot by a defender.
