BYU head coach Kalani Sitake is scrapping a controversial substitution pattern that used to limit starters' time on the field.
Tuiaki, BYU’s former defensive coordinator, became known for employing a substitution pattern that too often had BYU’s starters on the sideline. Tuiaki wanted to rest and preserve starters to prevent injury. But in reality, it just allowed offenses to feast on second- and third-string players who weren’t always up to the challenge.Fall camp has mirrored that. Sitake hasn’t given as many reps to the third string and focused mostly on the starters and the two-deep, he said.
“We don’t have reps to go for threes. That is just not going to happen anymore,” Sitake said. “And hopefully in the season we don’t get there.”
