After a 52-35 loss to Arkansas, BYU head coach Kalani Sitake says he might take over defensive play-calling duties.
Razorbacks roll up 644 yards and seven touchdowns. Sitake will consider taking over play-calling from embattled defensive coordinator Ilaisa Tuiaki
“... This is my seventh season, and there are times when I have had to [call plays] defensively,” he continued. “I’m involved in it. I don’t think I’m ready to answer that question now. But it is an option. I like our guys. I think the effort they give us is fantastic. We need to get focused on getting things done. I’m not close to any options out there [yet], that being one of them.”
The offense put up 471 yards of offense. Jaren Hall threw for 356 yards, his season high. But still it felt like the offense had no chance to keep pace as Arkansas scored on eight consecutive drives from the first quarter on. BYU did not get a stop on defense from the 10:36 mark in the first quarter until the final drive of the game. Jefferson threw for 367 yards and five touchdowns. The Razorbacks as a whole also rushed for 277 yards and averaged nearly eight yards per play.
And back then, a performance like that could be played off as a learning curve. This is too deep in the Sitake era for it to be explained away in that light. “The scheme, you can say whatever you want,” linebacker Ben Bywater said. “At the end of the day, you have to get off blocks. The players have to be better. … We are trying to win. This is college football. This is [the coach’s] livelihood. I don’t blame them [if they made changes].”
