Sitake confirmed Thursday that Mangum, who started in 12 games in 2015, will start against the Cowboys and that his backups will be fellow sophomores Beau Hoge and Koy Detmer Jr. Obviously, BYU's offense will change a bit with the strong-armed Mangum at the helm instead of the run-oriented Hill, Sitake allowed.
"It will be a little different because Tanner's skill set is different than Taysom's," Sitake said. "We just want to get points on the board and march the ball down the field. Tanner is capable of doing it, maybe in a different style than Taysom, but if you saw what Tanner did in high school, he can run the ball, too.
