Dick Harmon: QB drama aside, BYU really needs its offensive line to be a factor

Brandon Judd, Deseret News

BYU offensive lineman James Empey (66) lines up at center with Beau Hoge at quarterback during BYU practice in the Indoor Practice Facility on Friday, March 23, 2018. Cougars coaches hope a bigger, more beefed up offensive line will make a difference and help keep quarterbacks more safe in the pocket.

PROVO — Quarterback drama aside, BYU’s offense isn’t going anywhere if the passer is not protected.

Big graders are needed. Beefy, strong and smart big hogs who can execute are a premium this fall.

BYU’s offensive line has important expectations for the 2018 season.
