Wasn't Kalani's defense essentially KW's defense? And if so, why haven't we

We didn't have the horses with physical or mental capacities to run it?

So have we just been unable to recruit those horses in the past 7 years?

That was certainly part of it - with some exceptions

If we started out 4-3 we very quickly reverted to 3-4.

I recall Bronco stating that BYU's historical talent level favors a 3-4...

I thought Bronco shifted from 3-3-5 to 3-4-4 because we recruit better LBs vs DB

Yikes! Ed Lamb played under Ken Schmidt. No wonder!

Ken Schmidt has some of the top defenses in BYU history.

Basically 96 and 98. Other than those two years, it wasn't pretty.

1999 wasn't bad, most were adequate. 1993 was probably the worst, and it was bad

After Rob Morris left, it was pretty terrible until Ken left in 2003.

The 1998 defense was put in so many bad situations by the offense. Great defense

2016 D was much more like Utah. But 2017 happened and I believe Kalani & Tuiaki

I said it was much more like Utah. This is just a comparison to the next 6 years

That hole about 15 yards up the seam, which has never been fixed, started in '16

About as similar as Mike Leach's offense and Navy's triple option.

THIS X 100000. Most of our problems aren't scheme, they are horrible execution

Have you even watch a BYU game and a Utah game. Those defensive schemes are

That's what I'm saying....I'm asking why not? Why hasn't Kalani been running

Tuiaki coached DL under Kalani in KW's defense, so why haven't they been

I think early on they decide BYU didn't have the DLs or CBs to run an aggressive

Note that Utah (or hardly anyone else for that matter) runs a base 4-3 anymore

Their scheme the last few years was to limit possessions
