“We’re all in it together and we’re all pushing the same direction. That’s been awesome to have.”

PROVO — Asked if he’s settled into his new role as BYU’s defensive coordinator, Ilaisa Tuiaki offered an honest answer.

“Not really,” he said.

But Tuiaki quickly added that he takes comfort in knowing that he's not doing it by himself.

“I’ve got a great head coach (Kalani Sitake) to lean on. (Assistant head coach) Ed Lamb was a head coach for a long time and he’s a great defensive mind,” he said. “(Defensive line coach Steve) Kaufusi has been around for a long time.
