BYU football: Meet mastermind behind BYU’s stellar special teams – Deseret News
Pappinga was in my stake here in Orem when he coached for Bronco, We talked football often, one of the few coaches that will talk to anyone anytime. He was hired away when bronco left for Vir… Then on to Boise St for a year, when Coach Hill called. Kelly loves BYU.
There are several things to fillet out from this article:
1 Kelly is on record for saying that BYU was far better coming into it’s second year in the Big 12.
Hill tinkered with the DFence, recruiting hard in the transfer portal to fix the porous line and get some edge rushers to pressure QBs
2 Kelly also said that BYU is light years ahead of last year on the Defense and knowing their roles
3 He also was very clear about the QB competition. I think his quote was, “both QBs, Retzaiff and Bohanan were neck and neck in Spring ball, then in fall camp, it was if a light went on and Retzaiff became the clear choice, Everyone knew it and more importantly, the team know it”
