BYU coaches are hoping that Saturday’s closed scrimmage will clear up their starting quarterback battle, but at least one says they might keep it a mystery until kickoff

Provo • All the smoky murkiness brought on by wildfires throughout the West that has enveloped the Wasatch Front the past few days has nothing on the BYU quarterback derby.

Heading into Saturday’s scrimmage that will be closed to the media and the general public, the race to be the starting quarterback for the Sept. 1 opener at Arizona is as clear as the air in Provo.

“It’s bad,” freshman quarterback Zach Wilson said Friday after the Cougars practiced inside again. “You can barely see the ‘Y’ on the mountain.”

Everybody agrees on that.
