Anae said yesterday that Mangum was a "quick study"

and commented on how well he did the spring before he left with limited reps, so there is hope that he could be serviceable. I really hope Taysom stays healthy, but I think Mangum would probably be OK after 6 or 7 games. Let's hope for BYU football, Taysom and Mangums sake that Taysom plays the whole season.

Pardon my ignorance, but is there ANY possible way that Mangum is ready to go...

There's always a chance. Some do it. It's just not likely.

There was that one guy that was scraping barnacles off the bottom of boats

I can't imagine he'll be 'ready to go' to any real degree for the year, but

CMuehle

Add to that the fact that the time he did spend with BYU prior to his mission

No; it was Anae's first Spring back

Doing the math - I guess you're right. Doman and company were let go after the

I think all our eggs are in 1 basket for the early part of the year. But isn't

Jason Beck was solid in his only 2006 start; he was ready at the season's start

CoopDizz

3/5/15 1:21pm

He was also a JUCO transfer.

3/5/15 1:25pm

So you agree with me that this year is not like 2006, then

CoopDizz

3/5/15 1:25pm

Yes.He was a sr. But not to denigrate him it was against a B.Guy Utah State team

rcbyufan

3/5/15 1:26pm

He was still solid and experienced

CoopDizz

3/5/15 1:27pm

Fair enough. 2006 should probably not be included.

rcbyufan

3/5/15 1:28pm

Yep all eggs are in the Taysom basket. Let's hope he stays healthy.

Coogar2

The offense would have to be scaled back and simplified and QB runs eliminated

CoopDizz

3/5/15 1:20pm

They already did mid-season with Stewart. It's not a huge obstacle for them

southernfriedcougar

3/5/15 1:34pm

Yep

CoopDizz

3/5/15 1:37pm

I don't know. Games 5-8 in 2014 disagree with you.

I love Anae but whatelse can he say other than "quick study"

Coogar2

When you have to go looking for things to complain about,

southernfriedcougar

3/5/15 7:04pm

When non-eligible QB takes #1 snaps you don't have to look for complaints

Coogar2

3/5/15 9:56pm

You weren't complaining about him being a freshman.

southernfriedcougar

3/5/15 10:02pm

he'll be good enough. its a perfect situation for him. he

3/5/15 1:21pm

Obvious Lee that would be ideal...

Hotty-Toddy-Reb

3/5/15 1:27pm

if hill goes down in the first 5 games we're screwed. otoh, most teams would

3/5/15 1:29pm

Personally, I wouldn't mind if no freshman saw meaningful minutes unless the

If it means anything, Mangum "Grey-Shirted the fall and played spring.

CougarPilot

It's more than nothing...

bluebloodedcoug

3/5/15 1:35pm

He will have a couple of months in the summer of throwing to his receivers,

basman

3/5/15 1:56pm

More like a few weeks - fall camp starts beginning of August

FiveTen-BuckEighty

3/5/15 2:00pm

And they aren't "his" receivers

bluebloodedcoug

Matt Berry had a strong redshirt year pre-mission, but struggled as frosh post-

Coogar2

3/5/15 9:58pm

And that is real worry. We can only hope TM kills it.

CougarPilot

3/6/15 8:44am

I thought he did pretty well before his hand injury. Also, he had no receivers

palangi

3/6/15 9:22am

He should come home a couple of months early

ChopperDave

3/5/15 1:24pm

I think he can, qbs need to work on timing and reads more than being able to run

palangi

3/5/15 1:25pm

Tanner will be ready sooner than the other folks on the roster. He is that

PhilPete

3/5/15 1:32pm

my bigger worry is that he comes back a weakling or a softy. some

3/5/15 1:36pm

At least he's not out there to hit people.

southernfriedcougar

3/5/15 1:51pm

RE: Tanner will be ready sooner than the other folks on the roster. Yep BUT

Coogar2

QB is probably the hardest position to play fresh off mish

3/5/15 1:37pm

Well, Taysom is starting so, knock on wood, unless Taysom gets hurt very early

darkcoug

It's sad that recruits have become so impatient

Run-DMT

3/5/15 2:02pm

like Lark, Mangum delayed his mission 1year.

Gotta learn from our mistakes; Didn't we learn from Heaps?!

Transfers really screwed up the pipeline

FiveTen-BuckEighty

3/5/15 2:11pm

When you start anybody but a Senior, transfers happen. It happened with Max Hall

rcbyufan

3/5/15 2:20pm

I think Heaps is a very bad example.

Snipe

you'd be amazed at how quickly the body responds with the right training regime,

I hope you're right, but it hasn't happened yet in byu FB history
