PROVO — During the offseason, there were plenty of changes at BYU’s linebacker position.
First, Ed Lamb became the new linebackers coach after spending the previous two seasons as the safeties coach. Defensive coordinator Ilaisa Tuiaki, the former linebackers coach, is now coaching the defensive line.
The Cougars also lost outside linebacker Fred Warner, who was a third-round pick of the San Francisco 49ers last spring.
