    Preseason training camp has concluded and the BYU Cougars are just days away from opening the 2024 season against the Southern Illinois Salukis at LaVell Edwards Stadium on Saturday.

    BYU released its depth chart for the opener on Monday, but it was filled with co-starters and the “or” designation, most notably at quarterback. Where’s the fun in that?

    Here are our projections of what BYU’s depth chart looks like heading into the opener — with not an “or” in sight:
