PROVO — While BYU’s running game was non-existent in last week’s 27-0 loss to Louisiana State, quarterback Tanner Mangum also struggled in the passing game.
Mangum completed 12 of 24 passes for 102 yards and an interception against the Tigers and he’s looking for a much better performance Saturday against Utah.
Mangum acknowledged that he felt rushed and hurried in the LSU game. The key this week is “staying calm in the pocket,” he said. “Calm feet, calm mind and go through my reads the way I’ve been taught.”
Detmer said he and Mangum have discussed ways that he can improve.
