Schools with academic limitations generally struggle more with recruiting DLine.
Its just the way it is.
It's why we should be playing a 3-4.

What's the cause of DL problems at BYU?

Climate change.

Wait...Tafua couldn't handle BYU? I've never heard anything but that he elected to transfer to play football at the U.

Rumor is he didn’t want to work hard in class

If it's just a rumor, I'd prefer not to promulgate that across CB. Doesn't seem like it would do anybody any good.

I'd rather see Tooley at 240-245 and playing OLB in a 3-4 where he can rush
cougaman
11/20/19 10:09pm
My point is that BYU needs speed DEs and they could be 240
chodilicus
11/21/19 6:10pm
Or just go to a 3-4 where these guys can play a more natural position at OLB.

True. A 240 pound Tooley would be sweet

Seemed to coach D lineman ok when he was with the ewets. Must have forgot how?
basman
11/20/19 3:39pm
He only coached the yewt DL 2 years so it's hard to attribute too much to him.

He coached them up, and he used his strength in recruiting LB to pressure the QB

Not sure, but his film makes him a good DE candidate

I agree, and he has the speed. 4.5 at 250 lbs. I was just under the impression

Part of it has to do with the fact that BYU hadn't run a 4-3 defense since 2002.
