PROVO — During fall camp, senior Tanner Mangum and true freshman Zach Wilson battled for BYU's starting quarterback job, with Mangum earning the nod a week before the season kicked off.
Six weeks into the campaign, looking for a way to jump-start an offense that had become stale, coach Kalani Sitake replaced Mangum with Wilson, who helped lead the Cougars to a 49-23 thumping of Hawaii last Saturday.
From the sideline, Mangum cheered on Wilson, who directed two touchdown drives on the Cougars' first two possessions.
Wilson was supportive of Mangum through the first six games and Mangum returned the favor this week.
