PROVO — What should BYU quarterback Tanner Mangum be doing this winter, spring and summer to make the most of Ty Detmer's offense this fall?
It’s the same thing any quarterback should do. Get practice time, seven-on-seven reps and whiteboard work. Although, with Detmer’s pro-set philosophy, there’s far more to digest and get done.
BYU’s most successful seasons have come when a smart, finesse-style QB is able to make plays and put points on the board, not just by using a system, but mastering its nuances.
This BYU thing has to be a little different than other places, not just because of its history, but also because of the design and execution of an offense each season.
