were by injuries. In this context, saying "Well BYU was on their second string QB," the clear logical implication is that BYU had to take a step down in talent by playing that so-called second string QB. This was absolutely not the case for BYU in that game (and it absolutely was the case for Utah in that game).
If you're honestly arguing that Wilson started the season as second string and so had less prep time than the the person that was the first string QB at the start of the season - well, fine, but you're arguing a point that has nothing to do with this discussion, and we're all wondering why you'd be talking about that in the context of this discussion.
Amazing that this has to be explained to you.
