Facing a lesser opponent, BYU was able to score on their first 7 drives and took a 42-0 lead into halftime. This game didn’t show a whole lot out of the first unit as there wasn’t much of a challenge but there was a lot of good things shown by younger players getting their first experience at the college level.
Tanner Mangum put up monstrous numbers going 12/13 for 237 yds and 3 TDs. He was able to go in and make great reads and allow his players to make plays. He also looked very poised in the pocket and had plenty of time to allow routes to develop. Beau Hoge entered the game during the 2nd Q and got off to a quick start running the ball and was able to show off his throwing ability during the second half. It was a good opportunity for the freshman backup to get extensive playing time and build his confidence in case his services are needed in the future. Hoge finished the game 8/11 for 117 yds and had his first career passing TDs and two rushing TDs. Koy Detmer also played two drives during the game and finished 3/3 for 57 yds highlighted by a huge completion to Trey Dye for 47 yds.
BYU was able to run the ball effectively against the Seahawks and had two 100 yd rushers in Brown and Carter. BYU was able to dominate physically and establish their powerful run game.
The receiving core didn’t get much of a challenge and were found open the entire game. They caught 23/27 balls on the game and only had one drop on the game. BYU had 12 different receivers catch the ball on Saturday and were able to show the abilities of some of their younger players that are buried in the depth chart.
The OL played very well during this game. The most important thing was getting their highly touted freshmen in to get gametime experience. True freshmen JJ Nwigwe and Jacob Jimenez were able to get extensive playing time as well as Parker Dawe and Jaterius Gulley. With a few players out with injury, it will be good to have some game experience to create some more depth during the final stretch of games.

This game was a great opportunity for the BYU defense to flex some muscle. There were some backups that got great looks and were able to give BYU fans an idea of who is listed behind the starters on the depth chart. BYU had a few players that stood out in the game: Jordan Preator, Fred Warner, Lene Lesatele and Kesni Tausinga stood out in their play.
The DL did a great job controlling the LOS. Wagner is a team that runs the ball primarily. On 38 attempts, they were held to only 86 yds, good for 2.31 YPC. BYU was able to rotate in a number of players deep in the rotation.
The LB core played really well, especially with the number of players that were rotating in and out. Fred Warner had a huge game where he was flying around and making big plays which could be a turning point for him to close out the season and to use as a learning point in his career going forward. Another player tht looked good was Lene Lesatele who saw his first PT on the defensive side of the ball. He made some good plays and looked assignment sound.
The secondary cause plenty of issues for the Wagner passing game. Jordan Preator got in and played really well after missing some games early on to injury and suspension. He was slated to be a starter coming into the season but lost his spot after others impressed and he ran into his issues but he certainly earned himself more playing time after his performance against the Seahawks.
