One of the most common critiques thrown Zach Wilson‘s way is the fact that he played against relatively weak competition at BYU, especially in comparison to his top rival in this year’s quarterback class, Justin Fields. BYU only played two ranked teams over their 12-game schedule in comparison to Ohio State’s five ranked opponents over eight games.
Unquestionably, the toughest opponent that BYU faced in 2020 was Coastal Carolina, who entered as the team’s early December matchup with a 9-0 record and a No. 14 ranking on the AP poll.
Wilson had a rough outing against Coastal from a production standpoint.
