Arizona Marvelous Ideas: Sonoran Hot Reads: Arizona and BYU share QB questions ahead of 2016 opener

Who will be playing behind center for both of these teams?

BYU's situation is a little different, since Taysom Hill and Tanner Mangum have significant experience, while Anu Solomon has a significant edge on Brandon Dawkins in that department. Hill and Solomon share an injury-riddled past, though Hill's is a little more lengthy. It's going to be a big non-conference game a little more than four months from now, but there are questions at the most important position for both teams
