"What a story. I hope that goes down as one of the all-time great BYU stories. That we had a guy willing to advance the team, so everyone can get better while we wait for the younger QBs to get in and get involved. It's quite a story in today's football.
"It's refreshing because we just could not advance the program without being decent at that position."

“It’s amazing that a player with no game eligibility would be willing and wanting to practice, so that absolutely helped our team today," BYU head coach Bronco Mendenhall said. "Our defense is getting a really good look at what an active, mobile quarterback that can throw the ball looks like with experience. Our offensive players are developing because, again, we can throw it and catch it, and we can run our run game at a much higher level. It allows Taysom to continue being groomed and grown at the level possible. I’m not sure I’ve heard of anything like it before.”
