Dick Harmon: Atmosphere of intense competition pushing depth chart decisions in BYU football fall camp

PROVO — If Kalani Sitake has done just one thing during this BYU fall football camp to improve his squad, it’s that he has created spirited competition. And that’s not just hype.

Speculation, hopes, projections, prognostications, opinions, stated goals and passionate guesses are all agenda items during collegiate fall camps and, because BYU draws big media numbers, they easily become part of the daily story diet.

There can be such a thing as hype fatigue during the fall, however. No games have been played. But the information demand is there, and BYU seems to answer it with more media coverage than any school in the region, even with limited availability.
