Kalani Sitake knowing when to back off will be good for BYU football

Kalani Sitake isn’t Bronco Mendenhall. Sitake trusts his defensive coordinator.

The big news following BYU football media day was that BYU’s defensive scheme would be switched to a 4-3. Defensive coordinator Ilaisa Tuiaki indicated this was to generate more pressure on the quarterback and more turnovers than the 3-4. More sacks, more turnovers? Sounds good.

Another important revelation emerged concerning a change to the BYU defense.

When Dave McCann on BYUtv asked head coach Kalani Sitake, “Coach, how much will you have your nose in (Ilaisa Tuiaki’s) business as the defensive guy?”

Oh, he knows what he’s doing.
