BYU Football is back in 24 days when they start their season against Portland State. This team returns plenty of starters to make a run like last season and fight for the Big 12 championship game. The offense will see some changes at quarterback with the departure of Jake Retzlaff, and any of these new faces will be able to suit this BYU team well. The coaches still don’t have a decision on who will be the starter, but the race is tight, and anyone could fill this role. As many know, the defense has stayed solid and has no questions about who will make plays this year for them.
