Opponent Defense Preview: BYU

Another week, another defense.

Another group of eleven sweaty dudes in the way of Husky fans’ dreams of crushing fools.

Another — ya know what, you get it.

Personnel and What to Expect

The first thing you notice when looking at their depth chart is a lot of “ORs.” In other words, just like UW, BYU rotates a lot. The second thing you notice is that there’s three Kaufusis on the defense alone, two of which the Dawgs are familiar with (ILB and edge linemen Isaiah and Devin, respectively) after their game last season.

While the Cougars liberally rotate players, the same can’t typically be said for their formations; other than the occasional 4-2-5 lineup, they’ve so far shown a 3-3-5 for the majority of snaps.
