PROVO, Utah-Monday, BYU football commenced its second full week of practice with several quarterback candidates excelling.

Offensive coordinator Jeff Grimes stated that it looks like Tanner Mangum and Zach Wilson will be the Cougars’ signal-callers most likely to receive the most reps.

Mangum, a senior out of Eagle, Idaho, has started 21 of his 26 career games for the Cougars and has thrown for 5,158 yards, 34 scores and 20 interceptions.

Mangum started eight games in 2017, tossing for 1,540 yards and eight touchdowns against nine interceptions.

Wilson is a freshman out of Corner Canyon High School of Draper, Utah and had nearly 3,800 yards of total offense, accounting for 32 total touchdowns with the Chargers last season.

Other candidates for the job include sophomore Joe Critchlow and freshmen Jaren Hall, Stacy Conner and Baylor Romney.

Grimes also said he felt good about last Saturday’s scrimmage, but he wants to increase the yards per carry average to a minimum of five yards.

BYU running backs collectively averaged 4.8 yards per pop during the scrimmage.
