PROVO — There has been no official announcement, but there are strong indications that BYU’s Zach Wilson is on the verge of becoming the seventh true freshman quarterback in school history to start a game when the Cougars host Hawaii Saturday (8:15, p.m., MDT, ESPN2) for homecoming at LaVell Edwards Stadium.
Wilson would replace senior Tanner Mangum, who has started every game this season.
After Wednesday's practice, in the face of mounting speculation, offensive coordinator Jeff Grimes acknowledged "there is a possibility that Zach could start," uncharacteristically addressing the QB situation before fielding questions from reporters.
