two of our other starting DB's.
Fua is our best Defensive player. What would Utah look like without Orchard right now? Completely different Defense. Add to that - Bills was out, our second best player (maybe our best). Fua is our best pass rush threat and he's gone. That alone, kills this defense. Johnson at Corner, gone. Leavitt at Safty - gone. Fua at LB - gone. Bills at safety - gone.
Yes, the defense has had to plug in players, some of whom, have no experience and are young and don't know the system well. Nacua, Warner, Langi for starters.
