PROVO — BYU offensive coordinator Jeff Grimes was well-prepared.
As he approached a gaggle of reporters after Wednesday's practice, anticipating questions about the quarterback situation involving senior starter quarterback Tanner Mangum and freshman backup Zach Wilson, Grimes made a statement before fielding a question.
“We are not making an announcement about the quarterback. As with any position, there is a possibility that we could start a player that has not started,” he said. “So, yeah, there is a possibility that Zach could start but we’re not making a statement at this time.”
If Wilson were called upon to start, he would become just the seventh true freshman in school history to do so.
