The other big factor in this match up, going back to your earlier post, is how

much pressure our front 4 can get on the QB while the back 7 drop into coverage. We need to see some significant improvement there, or else their QB will have too much time to find open receivers.

I'm always optimistic, but we really don't know yet if they will be able to get the job done well enough.

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

4/4/17 3:32pm

I don't think he will be backing anyone up come August.

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

4/4/17 10:18pm

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.

yes you can. We started the game with Hifo batting a pass up in the air....

I think your goggles are blue, but didn't know Utah OL lost so many.

Show me how my goggles are blue.

4/4/17 3:30pm

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

4/4/17 3:37pm

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

4/4/17 3:40pm

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

4/4/17 3:50pm

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

4/4/17 3:58pm

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

4/4/17 4:10pm

Fair enough.

4/4/17 6:00pm

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

4/4/17 3:04pm

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

sunspot

4/4/17 3:07pm

Lowell who in fact was totally neutralized by Tejan

4/4/17 3:08pm

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

4/4/17 3:10pm

I'm going off of what BlockU has for the depth chart.

4/4/17 3:31pm

One rule of advice.

4/4/17 4:30pm

Oh I agree. This isn't meant to be serious. It's just a fun run down of who is

Not sure of time line, but Eathyn Manumaleauna seemed to play forever.

He never redshirted for non medical reasons

4/7/17 11:19pm

What about the issue of having already redshirted

BYU '80

4/8/17 8:52am

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

We get both Lowell Lotulelei and Kylie Fitts back

NarfUte

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

Uh, neither are ridiculous but Hill's is more "normal" than Fitts.

This is Fitts's 5th year out of high school. He played very limited snaps in

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

Utah TE's and RB's vs BYU LB'ers

Utah always gets some good RBs, but I do think life was made easy for them
