Even though BYU defense is among top-ranked in the country, coach says ‘there’s work to do’

PROVO — Football scientists are still studying how in the name of Anthony Munoz was BYU’s Khyiris Tonga unblocked when he pummeled Troy’s quarterback Gunnar Watson last Saturday night.

That’s like a jaguar chasing a mouse in an open field.

Equally intriguing is how BYU got big-time pressure on Watson with three rushers against five protectors.

Two games, two defensive challenges, and two completely different opposing offenses has led to two big successes for BYU’s defense and coordinator Ilaisa Tuiaki.

That’s the main takeaway after BYU defeated both Navy and Troy basically by halftime.
