SALT LAKE CITY — Things went from bad to worse for the BYU football team late Saturday night in Fresno, California.

After dropping to a miserable 2-8 with a 29-13 loss to Fresno State, the Cougars confirmed worse news in the early hours of the morning: Tanner Mangum’s season is over.

The junior quarterback went down with a non-contact ankle injury in the fourth quarter of Saturday’s loss, and officials with the university confirmed shortly after head coach Kalani Sitake’s postgame press conference that Mangum’s season was finished with an Achilles’ tendon injury.

Where do the Cougars go from here, and what should be the focus of the final three games of the season against UNLV, UMass and Hawaii?
