Indiana can sort of cement itself as we are no longer this team that's going to be fighting for six wins anymore.

Malachi Tony, is he going to be ready?

Dante Moore, he showed improvement, better command.

What's going on, y'all, Bud Elliott here of the Cover 3 College Ball podcast, and this is summer school. We are in session talking BYU. All things be with my man, Jeff Hanson here of Cougar Sports Insider. Jeff, welcome back, man. Thanks, bud. Good to see you, ma'am. Always a good time, for sure. Pretty nice season for BYU last year. Made the Big 12 championship game, you know, won what? 12 games like that. That's a lot of stuff for Kuk fans to be happy. I assume it's all positive vibes out there in promo. Yeah, I think so. I mean, last year was great. It was certainly surprised everybody. Retzlaff leaves. You don't have a quarterback going into the season. You start a true freshman wearing number 47.

Like nobody feels great about that on week one. But that, that turned out to be pretty good.

And then after the season ends, Kalani-Satke turns down Penn State sticks around.

Yeah, man. I mean, it's all good vibes in Provo right now.

That was huge, I mean, I, I have Penn State, they got somebody good. like for a while was like man yeah like sotaki is such a nice fit at b yu i i feel like i don't really know what they would have done uh had he left i guess um but they know they have some options so yeah there there would have been some option but it does it does feel like kalani man he's he's born to be the head coach BYU, and it feels like he's really just settling into his own. So yeah, I think that him here

and solidified for the foreseeable future, it's huge for the program. Yeah. And if there's a problem

that could have a solution that was basically money, it was like, BYU's got money. Like if the money's

the thing,

I think they'll find it. Exactly. They did lose somebody, though, and I was defensive coordinator who left, and now Pupenga is getting the defense coordinator job and a couple other defensive coaches moving around on the staff as well. Like, kind of personnel aside, how, if at all, do you see this defense changing in terms of what they want to do with new leadership?

You know, I think it will be, it will be really, really similar.

There was this kind of belief that when Jay Hill, he comes from that Kyle Winningham coaching tree,

BYU was going to run that Utah defense with a true four, three.

But if you go and you break down the film, BYU ran a lot of odd fronts throughout the year. And that's really what their personnel needed. And that's what Kelly Pupinga has always done coming from that Bronco Mendon Hall tree. So I think you'll see BYU double down on that a little bit. But by and large, I think it's going to be really similar because whether it's Kelly Pupinger or Jay Hill, Gary Anderson's kind of the godfather behind the scenes that he's an analyst there that sits up in the box. It's right next to Jay Hill. He'll sit right next to Kelly Pupinga. And when you have a guy like that that could kind of be just that assistant that's there to just kind of advise on everything that's going on.

That's huge, right?

I mean, he's got a ton of experience.

And really, he built the defense that Jay Hill coached, that Kalani Satake coached.

So you've got the architect there behind the scenes.

Kelly Papinga obviously is the face and will bring his own flavor to it.

But I think because of that, there's going to be a ton of continuity.
