PROVO — BYU football made several notable changes prior to the 2018 season, with most of those changes deemed necessary to turn things around after a disastrous 2017 season. One significant move didn't seem necessary on its surface, however, but one game into the season that change looks to yield good results, although there's still a lot of work to be done.
Starting at cornerback throughout most of the 2017 season were then-sophomores Dayan Ghanwoloku and Troy Warner, with Warner's season cut short eight games into the season after suffering a Lisfranc injury. Among the myriad problems last season, the sophomores acquited themselves relatively well, playing a position that's historically a weak spot in the program.
