BigBrotherUte Walk-on

That's fair. By most objective measures the OL was below average but there's

one caveat. Utah's rush attack outside of QBs averaged over 5 ypc. Taylor put the ball in Huntley's hands so much that it kind of throws off the numbers. Utah was top 20 nationally in terms of run game efficiency outside of QBs.

In the more limited time of Williams at QB when Utah ran it more the OL numbers looked a lot better, including sacks. It felt like the 2017 perceived OL issues were more of a OC/QB/play calling issue.

Yewtah’s DL is legit and it’ll be difficult for byu to run against them

I think the loss of Kaufusi and Takitaki will be pretty big for you guys.

With those two gone, BYU will have to get very creative with their blitz

I mean, we don't know who one of the tackles is yet (although it's probably Ford

I'm guessing Ford will start at LG, tackles will be Paulo and Olaseni...

I think Ford will be RT, Olaseni won't be ready until week 4 or 5

If not Olaseni at LT it'll be Daniels IMO...

From what I've heard the starting 5 will be some combo of Paulo, Ford, Umana,

I would agree except Bam isn't even on campus yet.

I expect that Daniels will start somewhere if Bam is ready or not.

Dawe, Fauatea, and Tonga will be much better

Good breakdown. I think it is a mistake to think Ludwig is a negative for Utah

BYU shouldn’t go ball control be the Utes

We don’t have small linemen to run that (thank goodness)

Agreed with up tempo but only in spots. If BYUs defense is on the field

BYU's Rushing Totals were 44 Carries for 171 Yards or 3.88 YPC.

Go back and rewatch last years game Kaufusi was the most disruptive player

Most is a stretch. Many on the D side had very good games against the run.

An important thing to consider with BYU's rushing yards is that Wilson got the

This only makes sense from BYU eyes, Utah’s DL is #1 BYU’s OL is not ranked
