Did slow and plodding BYU — which traditionally has lacked breakaway speed at the receiver positions — really just run no fewer than nine jet sweeps in its 28-23 win over Arizona last Saturday?
The Cougars also faked the jet sweep at least eight other times, quarterback Tanner Mangum keeping the ball after feigning a handoff to a streaking receiver and handing the football to a running back, or throwing it, instead.
Welcome to new offensive coordinator Jeff Grimes’ offense, which he labeled “multiple” and “versatile” and “balanced” when quizzed about it in spring and preseason camps.
