BYU football notebook: Detmer helping Mangum deal with the lows and Burt moved to cornerback

PROVO — Most people remember Ty Detmer for his highs, with few readily noting the several lows he's incurred playing quarterback throughout his collegiate and professional career. Now as BYU's offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, Detmer is imparting the lessons he's learned, with regarding to dealing with the lows, to Tanner Mangum.

Mangum, and the entire BYU offense, were pretty low after Saturday's 27-0 loss to LSU, where the unit wasn't even able to pass midfield. But Detmer's been there before, in some form or another.

“I threw seven picks in a game, so that was kind of embarrassing,” Detmer said.
