Johnny "Ku-J" Tapusoa, Morgan Unga, Adam Pulsipher, Scott Huntsman and Isaiah Kaufusi are all capable backups that have promising futures.

Cool quotes:

"If we are winning games that means were getting closer to our goal which is a national championship."-Tanner Mangum

"I'm a believer in caffeinated beverages"-Kalani Sitake

"The bottom line; BYU has won a national championship. Anything less than that now, is just less than that and is not good enough. So that's our task that's our responsibility to raise this program to national championship level and if we can't recruit head to head with Alabama and Michigan and Clemson, then we have to do something differently, and in my mind, that's player development, that's seeing talent where others don't." -Ed Lamb

"I've been really impressed with the recruiting ability for us to get tight ends but also big guys like offense lineman and defense lineman. I think the trenches are going to be fine from now on."- Kalani Sitaki
