always recruit circles around Utah on paper. So you have to make up that deficit in some other way.

Although, as a Utah fan it's nice to see Utah win a handful of those, because not that long ago it wasn't even that.

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

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

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....

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

4/4/17 3:58pm

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

4/4/17 3:04pm

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

sunspot

Lowell who in fact was totally neutralized by Tejan

cougarmanguy

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

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

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

What about the issue of having already redshirted

BYU '80

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

We get both Lowell Lotulelei and Kylie Fitts back

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

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