Interadasting article IMO:
BYU preview
“We’re eating dudes up and spitting them out,” lineman Tuni Kanuch said. “We’re bringing that mentality; we’re coming for you. You can be the best in the nation, and we know you will try to come for us. But we’re coming right back.
“We want to bury dudes, every down and every play. We’ve got a little chip on our shoulder. We don’t like to be overlooked.”
“There’s a lot of talent, and we’re ready to explode.”
Defensively, the Cougars got a big boost when defensive end Sione Takitaki returned to the team after a year of off-the-field challenges and discouragements.
The linebacker corps, led by Fred Warner, Butch Pau’u and Francis Bernard, may be as talented a group as BYU has ever had. And the defensive line is anchored by size, speed, and the wild card of 410-pound freshman Motekiai Langi.
“It starts with Fred Warner. He has the best of both worlds: speed to cover, and he can come up and plug the holds,” linebackers coach Steve Kaufusi said. “And Butch Pau’u has a little chip on his shoulder; he’s not that big, but you won’t run over him. He’s a tough kid, and so football smart.
“Francis is an athlete. He’s played running back … but he’s a big linebacker.”

Has anyone in the history of college football been effective at 410lbs?
I've never heard of this kid until now but I highly doubt that he will be much of a wild card.

Highly underrated post.
Should be overflowing with upvotes but too many won't get it.

Putting money on the mormons against the spread would not be the dumbest bet ever.

BYU is tough and usually plays sound football. Typically they have one above-average offensive weapon and a good QB.
For those reasons, I'm thinking LSU is in a fight early but pulls away in 4Q. Defense settles in, Guice gets loose, 27-17 Tigers.

BYU was 9-4 last season, which was pretty good...but all 4 losses were by a combined 8 points. That is pretty crazy.

No huddle, hurry up offense. Run lots of misdirection and end arounds. This guy will be a nightmare to get lined up or to get off the field.

Thinking about taking BYU and some points for a 1st half bet.

Byu is a Good football team. Last year they had tough schedule and lost 4 by like 4 points. They have a great lber unit and a veteran gun slinger. This game will be a better matchup than ppl think.
