Although BYU quarterback Tanner Mangum didn't connect with receivers for any big plays during Thursday's scrimmage, he did identify ripe opportunities. One of those players was Beau Tanner, who he found going down on the sidelines in single coverage, with the attempted pass just tipped away by cornerback Troy Warner.
Although the play went for zero yards, Mangum commented it was a good example of his ever-improving ability to be on the same page as offensive coordinator Ty Detmer.
“Ty was pleased with the decision,” Mangum said. “He understands field position and down-and-distance, so I feel like he and I are getting on the same page.
