PROVO — When BYU opened the season last week at Arizona, the defense had months to prepare for highly touted quarterback Khalil Tate.
As the Cougars host California Saturday (8:15 p.m., MDT, ESPN2), they have a different challenge — not knowing exactly who the opposing QB will be.
When you don’t know who the starter is, you have to prepare for every little thing.
In a season-opening 24-17 victory at home against North Carolina last week, the Golden Bears rotated three different quarterbacks — junior Ross Bowers, redshirt freshman Chase Garbers and transfer Brandon McIlwain.
