The BYU Cougars have to have their defense rebound in 2024 to have hopes of a successful season in the Big 12 Conference this fall and Jake Hatch shares how the BYU defensive line, being coached up by illuminaries like Gary Andersen, Chad Kauha'aha'a, Sione Po'uha and Kelly Poppinga, have been getting some nice hype in training camp so far.

Jake then talked about the BYU offensive line and what they need to do to have a better season for Kalani Sitake and the BYU football program this fall in the Big 12 before talking with resurgent left tackle Caleb Etienne one-on-one about what has changed for him in a year's time and his hopes of putting on for Brigham Young University (BYU) this fall.

Finally, the show wrapped up with our weekly Locked On Cougars insiders group question and answer session as Jake attempted to help a young BYU fan be proud of his team, examined the quarterback derby between Jake Retzlaff and Gerry Bohanon, and what road trips he will be taking this fall, among other questions answered.
