BYU Starting QB Out?

[BullyPulpit]

It is looking that way. This was mentioned in another thread, but the rumors on the BYU message board is that Baylor Romney will be starting in place of the injured Jaren Hall. I checked the box score from the ASU game and Hall appears to have gone out after taking a hit on a QB run late in the 4th quarter. Their backup, Romney (a distant relative of Mitt), came in and threw one pass for a 3 yard TD. From his small sample size over parts of 3 seasons it appears that he is a solid passer, but not nearly the running threat that Hall is. My sense is that Romney is a more solid passer, but that Hall is the more versatile QB. He ran 16 times for 83 yards and a TD against us in 2019. Through 3 games this season he has rushed 20 times for 166 yards, averaging 8.3 ypc. If he is in fact out, it frees up an LB or a safety to be able to do a little bit more than spy the QB.

And his(Romney) brother or cousin plays WR . . . seems we played against him in 2019. Or I'm thinking of the WR.

Go BULLS !!!

Skip to 4 minutes in today's pod and he's talking about the health status of Hall. He's definitely beat up and it sounds like a game time decision

It doesn't make sense to start him if he is not mobile. Romney appears to be the better pocket passer. Hall is a dual-threat. If we were a more formidable opponent he might tough it out, but I would be surprised if they trot him out there at less than 90%

Why would they risk him on a non conference game

Pretty spot on. I watched the ASU/BYU game.  He has a history with head injuries and got hit pretty hard.  Him being out is clearly advantage to us.

Jim McMahon, at 62, could be starting for BYU and it probably won't matter.  As long as the QB can hand off they should be fine.
