From a productivity standpoint, Tafuna was their most productive DT and he played 10 of 12 games. Productivity-wise, there was a big drop off after him. Tanuvasa and Pepa were probably the next most productive Def Tackles on the roster from a tackling perspective. Tanuvasa also had 4 passes deflected. However, Tanuvasa only played 6 games, Pepa played 5 (from what I can see).
We know Tanuvasa, and Van Fillinger really dominated the BYU oline in our game with them and that could be skewing a lot of BYU fans perceptions of where Tanuvasa ranks as a Ute def lineman this year. I am looking foward to seeing Tanuvasa in a starting role at BYU for hopefully the next two years.
