The OL is going to be good enough to run over McNeese, USU, UH, NMS, UMass & NIU

BYU's OL was mauling USU last year, but guys kept fumbling the football. That's not gonna happen again. I see 7-5 as BYU's expected record, with Kalani needing 6 wins to keep his job.

Would Kalani ever abandon "his" defense?

Clinging to a failing system out of sheer stubborness is a terrible thing for

your second sentence cracks me up.

Why? Grimes has a reputable long history of leading competent offenses.

But he's never been an OC before. The Peter Principle might strike here.

Maybe take a /sarcasm from Reddit? My bad. IMG included as an apology.

Apology accepted. It's an easy mistake to make. I wasn't lying when I said that

Haha I try to put things delicately sometimes so as not to trash the team online

Bronco going from the 3-3-5 to a 3-4 was one of the best things he did as HC.

displacedute

7/18/18 3:13pm

Funny thing is Bronco is a full on 3-4 guy now he didn't go back to the 3-3-5 at

Kajdin

He also played a 2-5-4 in some different packages. Strange but worked well

I have to disagree with the word “everyone”

Why are you so confident Kalani doesn't get fired after this year?

Where's that 7th expected win?

displacedute

Either UofA or Cal

I've learned never to count my chickens before they hatch with BYU football

Normally I'd agree with you. The numbers have me more confident with this group.

9 legitimate starting caliber OLs?

BYU recruited D-Line pretty well before Bronco. CB is a problem though.

Lance71

I think the difference is that 3-4 DL need to eat up blocks

displacedute

7/18/18 3:15pm

For example

displacedute

7/18/18 3:27pm

Excellent point. The required DL skill set is very different for each scheme.

theOnceler

7/18/18 4:36pm

Most of those great BYU DL pre-Bronco became 3-4 DEs in the NFL

CaliWG

7/18/18 3:26pm

Switching defenses again that quickly would be a personnel nightmare

Cashmeousside

7/18/18 3:14pm

Such a myth that BYU can't recruit DL. Where does this come from?

Lip Gallagher

7/18/18 3:21pm

Where is the history of BYU developing NFL caliber 4-3 DEs?

CaliWG

7/18/18 3:28pm

Absolutely nothing about Ziggy is a 3-4 DE. Just because he had to play there

Lip Gallagher

7/18/18 3:46pm

Ziggy is an anomaly, if you can't acknowledge that we can't have a discussion

CaliWG

7/18/18 5:20pm

Hmm, interesting how the discussion did a 180.

Lip Gallagher

7/18/18 8:38pm

Important note: BYU isn't really playing a 4-3 defense

FiveTen-BuckEighty

7/18/18 3:49pm

True, almost nobody uses the old dinosaur 4-3 anymore.

displacedute

7/18/18 3:50pm

WOW....I haven't seen a game yet this yea, but you already know they cant rush

BYURider

7/18/18 4:12pm

Its basically the same personnel as last year

CaliWG

7/18/18 4:25pm

you really think the coaches are satisfied with the status quo?

BYURider

7/18/18 4:50pm

That's why I'm predicting 7 wins this year

CaliWG

7/18/18 5:01pm

Guess I'm more wait and see how the D does against

BYURider

7/18/18 7:44pm

He did last year. Watch his body language

7/18/18 5:41pm

What about a 4-2-5, it is worth looking at

FootFAN

7/18/18 5:51pm

Bronco went away from the 3-3-5 because recruiting good DBs is tough at BYU

CaliWG

7/18/18 5:58pm

Why would you go to fewer linebackers?
