2019 Depth Chart

Thanks Scott, this is an interesting read. I believe Wilson will be one of the best QBs in the nation once the season gets underway. That should make the offense more potent. If the defense can step up it could turn out to be a better season next year.

Everyone is expecting Hoge to be moving back to QB and staying at BYU. I like that development

I think I would prefer to free up his schollie.

I think that we all saw that he's a better QB than Critchlow (no offense to Joe) If he's navigated the Scylla and Charybdis of dad and the coaching staff, and is at a good place with his role at the school then I say let's have him!

Yeah, I think I like Beau as the 3rd or 4th QB. Critchlow is still a walkon right? I don't think we need to use a scholarship on him.

Spring roster

I'm actually really surprised Hoge is still here.

There must be a girl.

I'm still surprised how often this major influence is forgotten, discounted, and rarely mentioned. It even brings some LDS athletes who didn't/won't sign with BYU in for "visits." I feel like a one-year old who is still surprised with a "Boo" three seconds after the previous "Boo."
