and we have a top 20 QB (potentially) riding the pine.
What school wishes they had Taysom Hill this year? |

the best thing for BYU is for BYU to lose against West Virginia, Hill to play horrifically, and finally have the reins turned over the Mangum.
The worst thing that could happen is a squeaker victory where we are saddled with Hill the rest of the season. It really harms the future of the program. |

My theory is they are not starting him because of LDS reverence for seniority. See the 12.

Yeah, no other coach or team would ever do such a thing like start the senior. Funny how Detmer did this time even though Lavell started him as a soph over the senior returning starter Sean Covey. LOL.

It's not like Ty has never made a bad investment decision

I don't think Hill starts much longer unless he's suddenly a different player this Saturday.

Everybody wanted to see Taysom succeed. Despite the hopes and wishes of fans, Taysom showed some amazing athleticism, but sketchy pure QB results. He doesn't fit into BYU's scheme. A former high school coach has to make the difficult decisions. Of course, Ty sees more than we do, such as line play and if the receivers are doing their part. Not a happy time, using Taysom and losing winnable games because of him.

Detmer broke down film and saw that most of what happened was not Hill's fault.
Football is not baseball; individual performance cannot be isolated just by following the person with the ball.

Except we have years of data to indicate that Hill is one of the worst passers in modern BYU history.
