Monson: If logic rules, BYU’s starting quarterback will be ...

If BYU’s quarterback battle really is as close as indicated by coaches, there’s only one thing for them to do, for many reasons: Start Tanner Mangum.

Not sure that Kalani Sitake, Jeff Grimes and Aaron Roderick will follow the logic here. Just saying they should follow it, even as whispers leak out one day that Zach Wilson is edging ahead, and the next that coaches are giving Mangum every opportunity to close the deal.

There’s a mighty chance that BYU, no matter how effectively the Cougars bounce back from the competitive disaster that last season caromed into, will face an arduous climb in the early part of this season, commencing as they do against Arizona, Cal and Wisconsin in the first three weeks, and then Washington two weeks later.
