PROVO — While he was the defensive coordinator at Utah, BYU coach Kalani Sitake oversaw a defense that established a reputation for putting pressure on opposing quarterbacks and recording a slew of sacks, ranking among the best in the nation in that category.
Last season, the Cougar defense ranked No. 115 nationally in sacks with a total of 17.
What are Sitake and the rest of the coaching staff doing to generate a better pass rush?
“A lot of things,” Sitake said. “We have capable coaches that have led the country in sacks before. We just go back to that stuff and we’ll be all right.
