BYU Football: Are we over-hyping the backup quarterback race?

So far in spring ball, the biggest news and biggest storyline has been the play of the backup quarterbacks. There has been debate on who should be the backup, and the competition has stirred some interest in the fans.

The competition has shrunk from a group of nearly every quarterback on the roster (10) to Jaren Hall, Joe Critchlow and Baylor Romney in a distant third. Each have qualities that would back the Cougars with a solid backup option to sophomore Zach Wilson as he recovers from surgery, but no decision has been announced.

But are we overhyping a position that none of us actually hopes sees regular and consistent game action this coming season?
