From the Salt Lake Tribune:

What is BYU QB Jaren HallΓÇÖs status for the bowl game? If he canΓÇÖt go, who are the options behind him?
Hall injured his ankle in the final week of the regular season.

BYU head coach Kalani Sitake was noncommittal about quarterback Jaren HallΓÇÖs status for the bowl game this week.

Unlike past weeks this season, he didnΓÇÖt say Hall would be fine or that the two-year starter had to play. Instead, he talked about hope.

ΓÇ£Jaren is banged up,ΓÇ¥ Sitake said. ΓÇ£He is not out for the game. ΓÇª Hopefully we can get Jaren through this and get him on the field.ΓÇ¥

Hall injured his ankle in the second half of the Stanford game two weeks ago. For the first time all season, Hall couldnΓÇÖt play through the pain and he was taken out for the entire fourth quarter of a close game.

But with a short turnaround for a Dec. 17 bowl game, it might not be enough time to heal. This week, Sitake seemed to be preparing for the possibility that Hall would not be available.

And behind Hall, the options are inexperienced to say the least.

The main backup to Hall all season was Jacob Conover. However, Conover entered his name in the transfer portal on Friday and will leave the program. No other quarterback on the roster has taken a snap at BYU.

Down in the depth chart all year has been Cade Fennegan, Nick Billoups, and Sol-Jay Maiava-Peters. Sitake said all three are taking reps in practice this week to earn the backup, and potentially starting, position for the bowl game.

A backup QB with a 3rd and long is a recipe for terror in my mind.

Sitake has the right approach: keep your opponent guessing.
Why anyone announces early that someone will miss a game, whether for injury or another reason, is beyond me.
If I were coaching, I'd lie through my teeth about everyone. The NFL requires injury information to be disclosed, but college doesn't.
