You're talking about Mountain West contenders needing lockdown corners, but you're forgetting who's in the Big 12 now. BYU's pass defense held opponents to a 55% completion rate last season, which was top 30 nationally. The idea that a "true lockdown corner" is the singular need ignores how modern defenses are built. We play in a conference where you face five different offensive systems by October, and survival depends on havoc plays and red zone stops, not just one guy on an island. Our defensive backfield generated 12 interceptions, and with the returning experience, that unit is a strength, not a question mark. If you want to challenge a secondary, bring your best receiver to Provo and see what happens. The data shows our coverage efficiency improved dramatically in the second half of last season. So this take feels like it's looking at the wrong league entirely. The biggest need for any real contender is consistent quarterback play, not a mythical lockdown corner who can solve everything. Our corners are plenty good enough to compete for a conference title right now.
