OPINIONS All-American

Their D-line is fine. Their O-line and secondary will be a different story.
Next year though... Fitts, Lotulelei, Mokafisi, and Luafataga are all Seniors.

Not really. They bring back Lowell and pita.... Plus a bunch of big time

I'm guessing Tufele will be a starter. Also heard they'll get Fitts back

Chambana Coug

1/23/17 10:26am

Is he formally committed?

soupie

No, just guessing he will be there as a starter

Chambana Coug

Tufele wouldn't start. Both starting DT's (Lotulelei & Mokofisi) will be back.

Did tupai play much last year?

Nope. I was thinking of someone else. Also, he's more a LB than DE anyway.

OPINIONS

1/23/17 12:49pm

I'd be surprised if he was a lb. He's a de size wise

cougaman

Tupai is a DE, not a LB. The other young guys who played on the D-line were

Hard to tell. Whole new offense and they lose a lot to graduation. I think

Ycrazy

Don't they have a whole new offense every year?

Chambana Coug

1/23/17 10:26am

They have a new OC every year. This one is bringing a whole new scheme. They

Just count on defense being solid year in and year out...

I'd agree with this, saying Utah will likely finish 8-4 or 7-5 overall

Utah will be next best to USC next year

Byu will have the better team on paper

Bensoncoug

BYU has the better team on paper lots of years. We've been favored in Vegas

Great point! We have never been the

Good enough to beat some good or even great teams, bad enough to lose to some poor teams. Likely to get up for our game
