BYU quarterback Riley Nelson was knocked out of the Idaho game with two fractured ribs and a partially collapsed lung, but has since been medically cleared to play this weekend against Hawaii.

With Nelson under center, the Cougar offense came to life so you have to imagine that if Nelson is healthy enough to travel, he will get the start over Jake Heaps.
