But as far as the ol being the strength of the team I've heard that before and it seldom turns out to be.

I'll say this. For a byu OL since 2009 they'll be pretty good, although the bar to exceed is pretty low. The pass protection seems to be questionable still based on last year. At least it looks like they are headed in the right direction.

I'd feel better if Lapuaho was healthy enough to play. I know the guys replacing him have game experience and played last year in his absence, but they're not close to as good as him. Lapuaho was flat out dominant last year before he got hurt. He was laying out pancakes against Arizona.
