With two minutes to go in Friday’s 24-7 loss to Boise State, the BYU football team turned its offense over to a guy most Cougar fans probably don’t know very well.
“It’s been a long time since I played football but I really did enjoy it,” freshman quarterback Joe Critchlow said after practice on Tuesday. “I felt the jitters, the excitement. I’m anxious to get some more playing time in for sure.”
But the four downs that Critchlow played indicated that right now he is the next guy on the depth chart.
“We didn’t play him at the end just to waste a year for him,” BYU offensive coordinator Ty Detmer said.
