can do the things they do is because of the trenches. Jamaal for example, did most of what he did in his career despite the OL, not because of them. Can't say the same for someone like Joe Williams and even Booker. And likewise, BYU hasn't had the greatest corner talent, but they would have had an easier time if their DL had been better.
But this last year would prove you wrong that BYU can't get that kind of talent. They did and are going to continue to. You think every solid athlete is some sort of guaranteed academic casualty for BYU recruiting. They're not.
