The final week of BYU Fall camp is upon us. Over the next few days, BYU will transition from Fall camp to game prep. Over the next week, here are five questions
that BYU needs to answer before the season kicks off on August 31.The most obvious question that must be answered, so we'll get it out of the way first. Who is going to start at quarterback? The battle has been competitive enough to keep BYU from naming a starter. Even if they don't name a starter publicly, a decision needs to be made such that one guy can start taking more reps with the first-team offense.
In the eyes of the coaching staff, however, they should have a contingency plan in place. The quarterback competition was too close to call after two weeks of camp, so it stands to reason that there is not a lot of separation between Jake Retzlaff or Gerry Bohanon. In that case, the coaching staff shouldn't hesitate to move on to the next guy if the original starter is not performing well.
Last year, the BYU offense lacked an identity. They couldn't run the ball consistently, therefore the play-action passing game didn't work like it did in years past. They couldn't move it well enough through the air to open up the run game. You get the idea. Tyler Batty accounted for 25% of quarterback pressures in 2023. Batty had more than double the quarterback pressures of AJ Vongphachanh, who ranked second on the team. BYU needs someone not named Tyler Batty to get more pressure on the quarterback.
Jack Kelly led the Big Sky in sacks last season. How much will he be used as a pass rusher from the linebacker spot?BYU needs to identify its best leaders over the next week. The Cougars will officially name captains before the season opener against Southern Illinois. This is an important decision for a team that will likely go through some adversity this season.
