I think the match up is a draw. Which is a huge improvement for BYU against Utah the last 10 games.

Utah usually handles he BYU OL taking options away from BYU due to having to add a TE or and RB or two to pass block. Break even here, and it opens up the playbook for BYU.

I'll take a draw.

He's projected right now as a backup, but yeah, he adds great depth.

BYU D-line will have the edge against Utah's O-line that early in the year

Hopefully we can hang onto the ball. Fumbles have killed us and lost us

I don't think you can blame turnovers for the loss last year.

You've accounted for BYU's experience. What's still TBD is the talent

Diablo and Doc

That's comparing the old BYU staff to the the current Utah staff

cougarmanguy

4/4/17 3:40pm

Exactly, you can't extrapolate out too far with the new coaching staffs.

Rise Against

4/4/17 3:50pm

Agree to a point, but a lot of the started are Bronco's recruits and werr

Diablo and Doc

Thats fine, as long as Kalani gets a clean slate away from Bronco

cougarmanguy

4/4/17 4:10pm

Fair enough.

Diablo and Doc

4/4/17 6:00pm

The ute counterargument would be that they were so stacked at D line last year

monkeycowboy

I think you are forgetting about a couple of Utes on the D-Line

Lowell who in fact was totally neutralized by Tejan

Injury to Lowell or not, Tejan was the third highest rated center in the country

What about the issue of having already redshirted

No, the issue revolves around the PAC-12's intra-conference transfer rules.

I believe Fitts will be playing with a medical waiver granted.
