BYU assistant head coach Ed Lamb talks with reporters during a breakout session during BYU football media day in Provo on Tuesday, May 22, 2018.

PROVO — During an interview on BYUtv's "BYU Sports Nation" Wednesday, Merril Hoge levied some serious accusations at BYU assistant head coach Ed Lamb regarding how his son Beau was handled in undergoing a switch from quarterback to running back. Beau, a 6-foot-1, 205-pound athlete, played at quarterback last season and competed at the spot during spring practices before switching over to running back.

Thursday, following BYU's scrimmage at LaVell Edwards Stadium, Lamb addressed Merril's comments and talked specifically about the process of Beau switching positions.
