BYU added new talent, including JC talent, so I am optimistic that that group will improve as well. As for the Dline, there are substantial concerns. I think the group will perform well at the 1-deep, but if there are any injuries, the Dline could be hurting. Even with all of that, I have a hard time seeing how they will be worse than last year, let alone substantially worse.
Here is why I think the scheme won't benefit BYU this year.....

The d-line is going to be brutal. It won't much matter how good the LB's are this year, which I suspect will be better than average, because of the lack of developed and experienced talent on the front line. I see no real improvement in the defensive backfield.

I hope I am wrong.
