Provo • The decision to throw long on fourth-and-1 from midfield early in the fourth quarter of the Cougars’ 24-7 loss to Boise State was a bizarre one on Friday night.
The latter decision was a major surprise because head coach Kalani Sitake had said Monday that he would “hate to take [Critchlow and fellow freshman returned missionary Kody Wilstead] out of their redshirt year” because both were still trying to gain weight and get back in playing shape after two years away from the game.
