BYU football: Coordinator Ilaisa Tuiaki takes blame for defense's collapse vs. Toledo

"It is great that it is a team game, and those guys showed up for us in a big way," he said. "So, we are appreciative of that."

Assistant head coach Ed Lamb said Tuiaki is being too hard on himself, and that there were breakdowns all along the board.

"I think coach Tuiaki is just being a strong leader," Lamb said. "Anytime there are 50 points given up, there are a lot of issues with the coaching and the players, and the execution. And, credit the other team. All those things are factors. A strong leader always looks at himself first, and I think that's what he's doing.
