SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Riley Nelson is the “gritty dude” with the great hair not afraid to knock heads on special teams for BYU.
But is he the quarterback to lead the Cougars through the rest of the season, starting Saturday night against San Jose State?
Nelson isn’t saying and BYU coach Bronco Mendenhall won’t reveal a starter publicly until game time.
The choice between Nelson and benched starter Jake Heap, however, has created as much controversy in Provo as Nelson’s hair, which he was directed to cut.
