Two rushing scores in overtime loss
Retzlaff was 14-for-30 passing for 161 yards during Saturday's 40-34 overtime loss to Oklahoma State. He also had 11 rushes for negative three yards with two touchdowns.
ANALYSIS

Starting once again
Retzlaff is starting Saturday's game versus Oklahoma, Mitch Harper of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.
ANALYSIS
Retzlaff is starting his third straight game Saturday with Kedon Slovis (arm) still not 100%. Retzlaff has not exactly lit the world on fire in his two games, completing less than 50 percent of his passes for 314 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. He has added a solid 90 yards on 27 carries on the ground though.

Struggles in start against ISU
Retzlaff completed 10 of 27 passes for 104 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions during Saturday's 45-13 loss against Iowa State. He also had 17 rushes for 64 yards.
ANALYSIS
Retzlaff didn't have a lot of positive plays against a tough Cyclones defense. He completed just 37 percent of his passes and was much more effective with his legs with 64 yards on 17 attempts. BYU has a tough matchup with Oklahoma next week, so it will be interesting to see if Kedon Slovis suits up or if Retzlaff gets another start.

Starting again Saturday
Retzlaff will start versus Iowa State Saturday, Mitch Harper of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.
ANALYSIS
Offensive coordinator Aaron Roderick announced that Retzlaff with start Saturday regardless of whether or not Kaden Slovis (arm) will suit up. Retzlaff also started last Saturday in the 37-7 loss to West Virginia and did not play particularly well, completing just 57.1 percent of his passes for 210 yards. He will look to improve on that outing Saturday versus the Cyclones.

Tough outing in first start at BYU
Retzlaff completed 24 of 42 passes for 210 yards during Saturday's 37-7 defeat versus West Virginia. He also had 10 rushes for 26 yards.
ANALYSIS
Retzlaff started in place of an injured Kedon Slovis (arm) and wasn't able to do much against a tough West Virginia defense. The junior college transfer completed just 57.1 percent of his passes. Stay tuned to see if he receives another start against Iowa State.

Set to start Saturday
Retzlaff is in line to start Saturday's game against West Virginia with Kedon Slovis hurting, Kevin Reynolds of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
It remains unclear whether Slovis will be suiting up for Saturday's contest or not, but the team has opted to air on the side of caution with Slovis apparently banged up over the last few weeks. Retzlaff has yet to appear in a game this year after transferring from Riverside City College, but he posted quite the impressive campaign in 2022. Slovis has struggled to get going over the last three games and so Retzlaff will get an opportunity to provide a spark to this Cougar offense.
