Playmakers needed: BYU’s offense needs a few more guys to step up if the Cougars are to thrive this season

BYU receiver Micah Simon says he doesn’t have any personal goals of yards or touchdowns for his senior year, he just wants to be as good of an outlet for quarterback Zach Wilson as he can.

“I want to be that consistent target for him so he can get comfortable as a quarterback and know we are going to be there for him,” Simon said.

Simon was speaking for himself, but his goal addresses what the rest of the offense needs to do, as well, to improve from their opening-week loss to Utah.

The Cougars, who play at Tennessee on Saturday, had trouble getting their offense in a flow against the Utes.
