PROVO — BYU freshman quarterback Joe Critchlow grew up in the Nashville, Tennessee, area with a BYU flag, signed by Heisman Trophy winner Ty Detmer, hanging in his bedroom.
Detmer, who's now the Cougars’ offensive coordinator, said Tanner Mangum will start Saturday (10 a.m., MDT, SEC Network) when BYU visits Mississippi State. But with backup Beau Hoge sidelined again this week due to injury, Critchlow, who was projected to redshirt this season up until a couple of weeks ago, is expected to see more action as the season continues — possibly this weekend against the Bulldogs.
