PROVO — Tanner Mangum's career at BYU has been anything but easy, and it got that much tougher with the news conveyed to him by coaches the Monday following BYU's 45-20 loss to Utah State.
That was the day BYU coaches informed Mangum of the decision to bench him in favor of freshman Zach Wilson for that coming week's game against Hawaii. The media had its first opportunity to question Mangum of the specifics of the decision and how he handled it after Wednesday's practice, with the senior quarterback showing disappointment, but also a good team attitude.
"It's just part of the game," Mangum said.
