Mangum wasn't given a chance. Other, better, explanations include O Line play that required Taysom's mobility, the team being behind Taysom's heart and charisma, problems with WR wouldn't have let Mangum shine, and Mangum maybe should have been given a chance.

Who was then?

Josh Rosen. As much as CB says 'but Tanner outplayed him!!!!' he still is better

Poorly against UCLA?? What game were you watching? He was very sharp at times,

he had them driving to win and Anae pulled the plug on him

Yeah, I could be convinced to upgrade UCLA from "Poorly" to mediocre.......

Who was his RB last year?

What a crock

Some people see any praise of Tanner as an attack on Taysom.

SandYFan

11/28/16 10:26am

Agreed. Too many have chosen sides in the Taysom vs Tanner debate and

I think Taysom took a step backwards why couldn't Mangum as well?

Very different offense in terms of making reads and what some seem to be

Is it possible that one QB grasped it just a bit quicker than another without

I think the bowl will likely be a good trial run, and he will be sprinting ahead

Bob Vance

Wait do we know for sure Taysom is done?

SandYFan

11/28/16 10:27am

rumor is he tore ligaments and will need surgery

Okay, so we don't know yet.

No, I'm assuming the rumors to be true. I don't actually know

Bob Vance

11/28/16 10:47am

people (coaches as well) using this as an excuse as to why he didn't start over

11/28/16 10:27am

From most reports, the reason Mangum didn't start was fear of him getting hurt

braddahmike

11/28/16 10:28am

Where and when has that ever been publicly stated by the coaching staff? Or is

basman

11/28/16 10:31am

i think he's referring to most reports from dudes at the water cooler.

It's been mentioned here from some that talked with staff

BYU lost 3 of 5 starters from last year, and replaced them with 2 FCS transfers(SUU) and a freshman RM.

Thinking about Wilcox starting instead of Eide just makes me sad

Coop

11/28/16 10:36am

Eide worked hard and gave full effort, but Wilcox was just more talented and experienced. That loss hurt big time.

Turnpike Lane

11/28/16 10:38am

BYU also replaced running back by committee with Jamaal Williams. Take him out

Michicoug

11/28/16 1:16pm

I hope you are right. But the reports I've read on CB say Tanner looked lost

11/28/16 10:35am

What are these rumored reports? A lot of hearsay.

The idea that he can't grasp the offense is fake news.

Heath Squashwell

Thats what we all want to believe, but my sources said Taysom was far and away

11/28/16 1:51pm

There could be other factors
