Want a snapshot of why BYU quarterback Zach Wilson is drawing praise from teammates and coaches alike? One just has to go back to Saturday’s overtime win over USC when Wilson scrambled to stay alive then found Gunner Romney on a 35-yard pass and then bullied his way into the end zone a play later.
The plays were just two of many that had a big impact on the final outcome, but they also encapsulated Wilson as a quarterback. His throw wasn’t perfect and as he noted afterward, Romney did a tremendous job bringing it down.
