BYU Declines to Name Starting Quarterback for Oklahoma Game

On Wednesday, BYU offensive coordinator Aaron Roderick met with the media. He said BYU was undecided on its starting quarterback for the game against Oklahoma on Saturday. Roderick said Slovis was not 100% yet, and that he won't play until he is 100% healthy.

One week ago before the Iowa State game, BYU named Jake Retzlaff the starter. Retzlaff, who was the lone bright spot in the loss to West Virginia, struggled mightily against Iowa State. Retzlaff was 10/27 for 104 yards, 1 touchdown, and 2 interceptions. His mobility was a benefit to the BYU offense, but he struggled to see the field and he missed some key throws.

When BYU head coach Kalani Sitake met with the media, he said Slovis is "our guy" when healthy. "He practiced last week," Sitake said. "He's still banged up, not 100% yet. Last week, we felt like Jake [Retzlaff] gave us a better chance. This week, we'll kind of see what it looks like and let you know. I'm not in Kedon's body, but I can tell you that if he's at full strength and if he's ready to go, then he's our guy usually."

Kedon Slovis has started eight games for BYU this season. Slovis has thrown for 1,716 yards, 12 touchdowns, and 6 interceptions. BYU is 5-3 this season when Slovis starts at quarterback.

The Cougars and the Sooners will play in front of a sold out crowd on Saturday as BYU searches for its sixth win to reach bowl eligibility.
