Dick Harmon: After winless September, wounded Cougars brace for difficult October

Scott G Winterton, Deseret News

PROVO — A September with no wins aside, BYU went through Monday's practice while preparing for Boise State at home on Friday night — still unsure of who its starting QB will be.

Will Tanner Mangum be cleared? Will his backup Beau Hoge be used if Mangum can’t go? And if all that doesn’t work, is the next-man-up mantra really feasible?

It is, because that’s all the 1-4 Cougars have.

Offensive coordinator Ty Detmer knows this from advice he received from the late LaVell Edwards, who once told him he never worried about what he didn’t have, to make the most of what he did have.
