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?

Hans Olsen said BYU was running Ed Lamb's defense

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.

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

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

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

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
