PROVO — Former BYU quarterback Beau Hoge was sporting a blue jersey during Thursday's first open football practice of the season, playing running back, specifically. He saw a lot of work finding open holes, picking up blitzes and running pass patterns, much like he's been planning since April when he decided to ditch the green practice jersey reserved for quarterbacks and put a blue one on.
