Provo • If he is healthy, redshirt sophomore Beau Hoge will be BYU’s starting quarterback Friday night when the beleaguered Cougars face surging UNLV at Sam Boyd Stadium, offensive coordinator Ty Detmer said Tuesday.
Hoge has by far the most game experience of the three quarterbacks competing in practice this week to replace junior Tanner Mangum, who suffered a season-ending Achilles tendon injury in Saturday’s 20-13 loss to Fresno State.
“He is the guy,” Detmer said. “If he is feeling good enough to go, then he will probably be the guy.”
BYU did not make Hoge, Joe Critchlow or Kody Wilstead available to the media after practice Tuesday.
