He has done a great job the last 3 years.

But as it stands today, this is his best defense yet, and it's because we've brought a little bit more pressure.

Alot of that is because he feels more comfortable with the guys he has on the back end.

This has always been my issue with Tuiaki's defense:

Here's a visualization of BYU's trend in Total Havoc over the years:

In fairness, FBS independents historically are bad at creating havoc. It’s just

So…a big component is stealing offensive playcalling? That’s unfortunate.

2018? This defense is not the D from 2018. I would wager that we aren't in that corner this year.

We aren't. We are much improved this year. Like I said, Kalani has said in interviews that they are focused on producing

A lot of that is not having the horses in the secondary to be able to create

The last one that was available. I wouldn't count last year considering who we played.

Last year when we played 12 D1 teams? I bet you would have counted it if we

Most of those teams are teams we'll probably never play again - that we only played because it's all we could get

Ok, here you go. BYU had 117 havoc plays out of 793 total defensive plays, or 14.8% - below the national average

Good argument to make, right after a game where we got 4 turnovers... ...

Special teams got 1 of those turnovers. Our offense got another of those, but
