Mitch Harper and Matt Baiamonte continue the position previews this week with the linebackers. This group is stacked with talent and it gives them flexibility to match any offense they face. Both guys believe that the starting linebackers will be Isaiah Kaufusi, Kavika Fonua and Chaz Ah You. Ah You and Wilgar are both talented enough to get a starting spot and the guys say they may be interchangeable. In the two-deep, the guys mention Keenan Pili and the Navy transfer Pepe Tanuvasa as guys that both players and coaches are raving about.
For this week's Over/Under, both guys believe that a BYU linebacker will start every game for BYU this season. Mitch says BYU LB will have over 85 tackles and say's it will be Kavika Fonua. Matt takes the under, saying a lot of guys will get playing time and will limit the ability to get high tackle numbers. Matt takes the over of two LB's getting multiple INT's next season, but Mitch takes the under. Matt takes the under of a BYU LB getting 3 sacks, saying he hopes the sacks come from the defensive line. Mitch takes the over, saying Isaiah Kaufusi could be the guy to do it.
