The thing BYU's defense needs to improve the most (and there really isn't a close second) is 1st down rush defense

Maybe don't put the LBs so deep, and teach them to play downhill. And let's hope the DL can get off a block.

If Pili and Wilgar are healthy, BYU will be fine at LB

Or maybe try having a safety in the box once during the game

You mean instead of putting them 35yds off the LOS?

Next on the list is opponent 3rd down conversion percentage.

Improving first down rush defense will directly help this IMO.

Yes. And 3rd has issues that need to be cleaned up as well.

I'll take 3rd down defense. It was beyond awful.

First down defense directly translates to 3rd down though

Of course they are related. But if you could only improve one I would take 3rd down defense.

I remember multiple times last year where we dropped 8 on a third and short

5/23/22 11:08am

I'd rather give up a few yards on third and short than many on third and short.

5/23/22 11:20am

I would much rather stop 3rd and short 50% of the time and give up more yards the other 50% of the time.

5/23/22 11:27am

I'll do you one better. I'd rather stop them ALL the time!

Proposed DL motto for this year: Play every down like it is 2nd down

Pretty much every metric for our DL was horrible.
