Langi and Leuta-Douyere reliable at linebacker for Cougars

Despite losing several players due to injury and suspension this season, the BYU defense has grown more and more formidable as the season has wore on. Two big reasons for that are a pair of linebackers -- Harvey Langi and Jherremya Leuta-Douyere -- who have been quite steady in recent weeks.

“It’s a work in progress. Each game he gets a little better,” Tidwell said of Langi and his play so far this season. “What he adds is a physical presence. He’s vocal and when he’s in the right spot, he’s pretty powerful and he’s good on blitzes.”

Langi has 40 total tackles, but perhaps more impressive is that he's notched 4.5 sacks.
