BYU in review: Cougars need a jolt after consecutive blowout losses. Is it time for coach Kalani Sitake to make a quarterback change?

Provo • Successive blowout losses to one nationally ranked team, Washington, and another that probably should be, Utah State, have shown that BYU’s football team has a lot of weaknesses and deficiencies.

But after Friday’s 45-20 loss to the 4-1 Aggies at LaVell Edwards Stadium, BYU coach Kalani Sitake wasn’t ready to announce a switch at the marquee position, despite seeing freshman Zach Wilson play well against USU’s reserves in the final three minutes of the game.

Wilson directed a six-play, 77-yard touchdown drive, culminated with an 18-yard scoring strike to fellow freshman Gunner Romney.
