PROVO — For the second year in row, BYU has opened its season with a 1-3 record. But right now there are even bigger concerns for the Cougars.
No. 10 Wisconsin thumped BYU last Saturday at LaVell Edwards Stadium, 40-6, and the Cougars are heading into a much-needed bye week to regroup.
BYU is suffering a major identity crisis on both sides of the ball. Against the Badgers, the Cougars failed to score a touchdown and picked up just 192 yards of total offense. In his first career start, replacing an injured Tanner Mangum, sophomore quarterback Beau Hoge completed 11 of 20 passes for 111 yards.
