BYU will start junior college transfer Jake Retzlaff against West Virginia, according to multiple sources.
Retzlaff will get the start in place of Kedon Slovis, who sources said has been dealing with injuries.
Starting quarterback Kedon Slovis, who was sacked twice and hounded by the Texas defense last weekend, has been dealing with injuries, sources said.Retzlaff was highly productive at Riverside City College. As a sophomore, he threw for 4,596 yards, 44 touchdowns and 14 interceptions in 13 games last year. He has yet to appear in a game for the Cougars.But after the loss to the Longhorns, BYU head coach Kalani Sitake stood by Slovis as the starter.
Wide receiver Kody Epps also defended the quarterback. Slovis missed some throws, but he also wasn’t helped by BYU’s run game or the protection. “For him to come out there and compete every day with the pressure he has on his shoulders shows his character ... We are going to keep going and just let him keep ripping it.”
