Editor's note: Third in an occasional series exploring the pros and cons of starting a true freshman at quarterback, and the experiences of the six freshmen who started for BYU.
PROVO — More than 20 years after becoming the first true freshman quarterback to start a game at BYU, Drew Miller is still proud of that distinction.
“It’s awesome,” he said. “It’s super cool.”
Despite that badge of honor, Miller’s career at BYU was short-lived.
With the two quarterbacks ahead of him on the depth chart injured, he started one game, a 14-3 loss at UTEP, late in the 1997 season.
