We should have talent to do it; BYU traditionally has been able to get the D linemen needed. The issue is the vanilla 4-3 we are running, particularly where we rarely if ever blitz.

Is there a part of not pressuring, not blitzing, and not covering anybody that's

What does a load of crock mean? What exactly is a load of crock?

I think it's like a crock pot full of feces.

That's a completely irrelevant question. Why would you ask that?

Excellent post. Indy or G5 or even P5, winning is what matters most.

Such a loser mentality for anyone who thinks this.

thats why, after losing to cal, we just rolled over and lost to wisconsin...

You realize that the logical conclusion to your takes are that BYU drop down

Are you familiar with bowl games? Or rivalries? Or pride in a strong record?

Just like 125 of the 129 other CFB teams. Welcome to CFB.

You play to win each game. That is enough.

About the D, I think it's very simple. Kalani's vision is that the DL will

We played a 4-3 in 1996 and did very well with it

How did that defense look by the early 2000s?

CougarVeteran

You need athletic, strong, and fast DEs to run a 4 man front.

Left Shark Coug

10/8/18 7:48am

But that was actually my point. Putting all of the responsibility on the front

Ash

10/8/18 7:52am

The DL necessary to run the 4-3 are tough for BYU to recruit

CaliWG

10/8/18 8:45am

We ran a 3-4 until 1993 or so

Coop

10/8/18 12:51pm

From '82-89 we ran a 3-4. From '90-02 we ran a 4-3.

1992 (I was off by one year)

You're right. We played a ton of 4 Down vs Miami and that stood out to me.

CaliWG

10/8/18 1:50pm

Fitisemanu was kind of a hybrid DE/OLB, from what I remember

Coop

10/8/18 2:18pm

For some reason it always seemed like our DL & LBs were the same size

The only flaw with that

I think he's just stating a fact. In fact Shelton > Warner all day tackling.

Warner doesn’t tackle. Even in HS games I rarely see players
