see more variety. That said, I often defend him because he’s been better on average than the loud CB critics will acknowledge. And I think last year showed a very good defense at the beginning of the year and a coach hiding weakness in depth later on.

Tuiaki apologists: do you defend him because you truly believe he is a solid DC?

Too bad we never got to see a Bronco defense last year so we could compare.

I bet the BYU offense could have piled up points on Bronco's defense last year.

Tuiaki's results are typical of most DCs in BYU history.

Don't forget to add that Bronco put the best players on defense and had some truly underwhelming offenses.

I just tend to be more optimistic than not when it comes to stuff like this.

I defend the situation. He’s the DC, and I don’t see that changing.

Does the scheme impact the talent that goes to Provo? I have to believe it does.

The arrogance of people to think they know more than Tom is off-putting to say the least.

Whatever. CB is full of guys who know more about defense and the players available than Kalani does.

My biggest issue is how married to his scheme he is. And how conservative play calling often is.
