PROVO — It’ll be Senior Day Saturday at LaVell Edwards Stadium, but, in many respects, 2017 has been the Year of the Underclassmen at BYU.
Whether it's been due to talent that couldn’t be restrained or a plethora of injuries (37 different players have missed games) that opened opportunities, a host of freshmen and sophomores have seen significant playing time for the Cougars.
It’s a youth movement of sorts at BYU.
In the short run, learning on the job can be tough in terms of wins and losses. But, in the long run, the experience that players are getting can be a boon the future of a program.
