4-3. That’s what we were running when he committed. So it’s silly to think that had anything to do with it.

Currently 19 NFL teams run a 4-3 and many of them feature a LB as their top playmaker.

In the history of BYU they’ve been able to recruit OL and DL with more consistency. Bronco focused so heavily on the LB recruiting that it damaged the DL recruiting.

The 4-3 scheme fits the type of players we can more Readily recruit.

Year one of Tuiaki we lead the country in takeaways and this year we lost so many LBs and DL coupled with the worst offense in BYU history and the defense was forced to adapt and play more conservative and more base packages.

IMO the 4-3 can absolutely highlight the LB position if that’s the strength. The 4-3 is the correct Defense for BYU
