running the ball all that well with the backs. There's this narrative that Hadley was doing great but he only averaged 3 ypc.

You brought up total rushing yards but you left out ypc. BYU averaged 3.3 and Utah averaged 4.2. If you're averaging 3 ypc, the DL is winning. Utah also had 3 sacks(all from the DL) and 9 TFL. BYU had 1 and 4 with only 1 of those from the DL.

Utah has 3 All Pac-12 guys on the DL and even more talent and depth than last year. By all measures, BYU's OL was average last year. They bring back a nice group with good size and exp, and they'll be better, but Utah's definitely has the edge.

I think Utah's OL and BYU's DL are a wash. Utah's OL was average last year and brings back 3 starters. BYU's DL was not very good at getting into the backfield last year and they lost their best guy there. I think BYU's DL is stout and pretty good but they don't create many sacks or TFL.

Ludwig is an upgrade and not a question mark, Utah is basically running the same scheme. He's been a P5 OC for most of the past decade and will be a better play caller than Taylor. As long as Whitt and Scalley are coaching on the hill, Utah will have the coaching advantage until BYU proves otherwise... I liked the Grimes hire for BYU and I do think the O will be better.
