Doug Robinson: College football: Cougars could get sacked by two-headed QB system

If you want to know how the dual-quarterback offense works, look at BYU's own history. Sean Covey and Ty Detmer didn't work. Jim McMahon and Marc Wilson shared the job in 1978. It got ugly. LaVell Edwards referred to it as his least enjoyable season as a head coach and said he wouldn't do it again. BYU's former All-American quarterbacks are going to gather for Saturday's season-opener against Washington; ask them how they feel about two quarterbacks.

Memo to Y. fans: Better get an early start on the quarterback controversy. It's going to happen, guaranteed. Fans and teammates will pick a side. By this time next week, the controversy will be off and running. Who do you like, the lefty, Riley Nelson, or the kid, Jake Heaps?
