BYU Football Roster Decisions Ahead of Opener

As college football season approaches, several teams are withholding the announcement of their starting quarterbacks until game day. BYU is set to face Southern Illinois, with both Gerry Bohanon and Jake Retzlaff listed as co-starters, although head coach Kalani Sitake hinted they have a plan in place. Cal's head coach Justin Wilcox also chose not to reveal his starting quarterback ahead of their matchup against UC Davis, citing strategic advantages. Similarly, UTEP coach Scotty Walden stated a decision on their quarterback would be made by midweek, while Coastal Carolina's Tim Beck emphasized the benefits of keeping their starter's identity secret until the game against Jacksonville State. This trend reflects a broader strategy among coaches to maintain unpredictability for opposing teams. Each team's situation showcases the competitive dynamics and preparation strategies in college football.
