Former NFL running back Merril Hoge testifies on Capitol Hill in Washington, Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2009, before the House Judiciary Committee hearing on legal issues relating to football head injuries.
BYU football coaches have remained mum this week when asked whether or not backup quarterback Beau Hoge would start against Wisconsin on Saturday after starter Tanner Mangum got injured on the Cougars' final offensive play last weekend in a loss to Utah.
Early Friday morning, however, Hoge's father Merril, seemed to acknowledge via Twitter that he knows his son will get his first career start.
