BYU defensive coordinator Ilaisa Tuiaki gives a thumbs up to his players during a break at a BYU football practice in Provo on Thursday, August 10, 2017. Tuiaki likes the effort his defense shows in practice, but is hoping to see more of it translate to game days.
PROVO — In reviewing film of BYU's 33-17 loss to East Carolina, BYU defensive coordinator Ilaisa Tuiaki observed players consistently in the right position to make plays, but too often failed to do so. Several of the plays not made were during pass-rush situations, according to Tuiaki.
