Show Notes
BYU football fans can expect a familiar yet refined defense in the 2026 season, as new coordinator Kelly Poppinga blends proven schemes with fresh ideas. Drawing from his playing days and coaching stints, Poppinga emphasizes accountability and peer-driven improvement. The experienced and talented defense, ranked top three in the Big Twelve last year, is installing the full scheme on schedule. The main challenge is sophomore quarterback Bear Bachmeier, who has significantly improved since his freshman year. With a deep roster and these refinements, Poppinga aims to keep BYUs defense among the nations best.
