PROVO — One of the biggest questions this season surrounding BYU football involves the tight end position.

As in, where in the world is Matt Bushman?

A year ago, Bushman was named a freshman All-American after catching a team-high 49 passes for 520 yards and three touchdowns. Expectations for him entering his sophomore campaign were high.

Through five games, the 6-foot-5, 245-pound Tucson, Arizona, native has caught a modest six passes for 109 yards and one touchdown as the Cougars get set to host Utah State Friday (7 p.m., MDT, ESPN2).
