Three months later and a few blocks from LaVell Edwards Stadium, where he became The Quarterback Who Got Ty Detmer Fired, BYU’s Joe Critchlow delivered the football accurately and crisply Monday morning.
The Cougars opened spring football practice indoors, as almost an entirely new offensive coaching staff watched six quarterbacks throw passes — not counting Tanner Mangum, who was dressed but did not fully participate in his recovery from an Achilles injury. Whoever emerges as the starting QB will have a job description to put “a lot of points on the board,” coach Kalani Sitake said.
That sure didn’t happen in Critchlow’s only start in Provo.
