BYU Football's Jacobson out 4-6 weeks

While streching before Friday night's game against Utah State, BYU Football's McKay Jacobson injured his hamstring.  He was held out of the game as a precautionary measure.  Over the weekend, he had an MRI performed and it was found that he has a torn hamstring.  Team doctors are reporting that he will be out four to six weeks.

In his stead, Bronco Mendenhall said that we will see Brett Thompson.  Mendenhall made it clear that Thompson would not be taking the place of Ashworth and Hafoka.  He would just be next in the depth chart and therefore would be seen on the field.

Assuming the worst (out 6 weeks), Jacobson would miss games against UNLV, San Diego State, TCU, Wyoming, and possibly New Mexico.  This is a hard blow to the Cougars.  Jacobson was really starting to come forth as taking the shoes of recently departed Austin Collie.
