Provo • BYU’s underperforming offense and failure to score points in first quarters has some fans and media members calling for a change at quarterback.
The early-game futility — BYU has scored just seven points in the opening quarter through six games — is also putting a strain on the Cougars’ defense, which has not had the opportunities to make as many disruptive plays as it would like.
Falling behind early has caused the Cougars to play more conservatively on defense, coaches said this week as they prepared for Saturday’s rematch with high-scoring Hawaii (6-1) at LaVell Edwards Stadium.
