As the battle between Jake Retzlaff and Gerry Bohanon continues, does BYU have the QB it needs?
Former South Florida quarterback Gerry Bohanon looks for a receiver against Florida on Saturday, Sept. 17, 2022, in Gainesville, Fla. Bohanon is in the running for BYU 's starting job this fall.
Here’s what everybody believes: The starting position will come down to Retzlaff and Bohanon. Retzlaff lost all four games he started in relief in 2023 as he learned via getting kicked in the head a few times. Bohanon, an experienced athlete who has suffered and survived through the undulations of college football, is a quarterback who can throw and run. Will he quickly fit in at BYU? He’s convinced in the affirmative.
Kalani Sitake is big on having his lead guy earn the position. He’s never been comfortable putting a king on the throne without figuratively smacking him around a bit en route. He’s mentioned some form of that about a thousand times. Remember that Ty Detmer threw 28 interceptions the year he also passed for 5,188 yards, 41 touchdowns and won the Heisman. A quarterback can’t be double-clutching in the pocket, freaking out over the manner in which his coach will respond to a mistake. That conjures the old story told about Steve Young, apocryphal or otherwise, when he early in his career at BYU threw a pick against Georgia. When he came off the field, coach LaVell Edwards said, “Don’t worry about it, Steve.
It would have been stellar — for him and the entire program — if he had demonstrated enough for those coaches to jump ahead five spaces and already name him the starter, but that did not happen.
