Former BYU quarterback Jake Retzlaff finds himself in a four-way quarterback competition at his new school, Tulane. If he wins that starting job, he could be a factor in the Group of Five race for a College Football Playoff spot.

The move is meant to keep Retzlaff on the field despite his stumbles at BYU. But it also represents a dramatic shift in the Jewish character of his schools for Retzlaff, who grew up attending a Reform synagogue in Pomona, California.
