PROVO — BYU quarterback Tanner Mangum burst onto the scene as a freshman, throwing two late, dramatic, memorable game-winning touchdown passes in his first two games.
But as he enters his senior season, Mangum finds himself battling for the starting job that used to belong to him.
The Cougars’ most experienced returning QB, who has started 21 games and thrown for 5,158 yards, has recovered quickly from an Achilles injury suffered last November.
Can Mangum regain his role as a starter? Can he complete this comeback and recapture some of the magic he generated as a freshman?
