Is Tanner Mangum’s starting quarterback job on the line this week as BYU heads into Big Ten country to play a Top Ten opponent in Wisconsin at Camp Randall?
In short, yes, it is. As is everybody else’s starting job.
But Tanner is the leader. He’s earned the right to lead BYU’s offense.
But what makes Mangum’s situation more tenuous is the scrutiny and pressure he is under to be a big-time performer.
You see, in losses, quarterbacks usually receive the lion’s share of blame by the masses.
Drives stall? It’s his fault.
Receivers drop passes?
