which is wrong, as he did actually say this. You're right, in the end we have no way of knowing the truth. However, I don't think it takes a genius to figure out why there was such a drastic shift to the defense in the second half.

Can anyone confirm if Kalani did infact call the defensive plays in the 2nd half

dodgersjazzcougs

Didn't Sitake himself confirm the opposite: that he didn't?

This is they typical handling of the evidence for the Tuiaki conspiracy theory.

Yes, he did. I don't think you read the full article. Darnell specifically says

Let's say Darnell knows this. How could/would Darnell know this?

He also admits that Kalani would say otherwise. He doesn't know.

Again, not the point. Darnell said it whether it's true or not. You can dispute

Okay, fine. As long as we agree he has no idea.

I think the point is that it isn't REASONABLE to think Darnell would know this.

He relays the calls from Tuiaki in the booth. Normal.

I'm Dynamite

10/19/20 1:07pm

The head coach relaying play calls to the field from the booth is hardly normal. He was calling plays.

But he was "calling" the plays with input from the booth, that's why they are up

That’s different than just signaling in a play as a go between.

Going purely off of that is like saying the backup QBs are calling plays because

That's actually when things turned. We started letting Baylor call the plays.

The plan was to let Houston have their way and a lead and then surprise them with an actual effective defense?

During BYUTV postgame KS specifically credited Tuiaki for making 2H adjustments
