Kristin Murphy,

Saturday is a gut-it-out day for BYU coach Kalani Sitake. He'll hold a closed scrimmage. There he’ll begin making decisions on a depth chart, separating contenders from pretenders, search for role players and carve out a scout team.

It is a big deal for the hopeful, a confirmation day for the proven.

When the dust settles and film is evaluated, there could be some position changes. Some guys may redshirt — sit out and save eligibility — and some roster guys will know if they’re closer to making the traveling squad for the LSU game on Sept.
