Provo • Offensive players and coaches took their turn talking to reporters after BYU’s football practice on Wednesday, but neither quarterback Tanner Mangum nor his primary backup, Beau Hoge, were made available for interviews.
It is just more evidence that Mangum, who suffered an ankle injury late in the 19-13 loss to Utah last Saturday, will not play against No. 10 Wisconsin on Saturday (1:30 p.m. MDT, ABC) at LaVell Edwards Stadium. And officials clearly did not want to put Hoge in a situation where he would have to answer questions about Mangum’s health, or his own readiness to take over the offense.
