After two straight games with a lackluster performance on offense, BYU offensive coordinator Brandon Doman decided a change had to be made, according to the Daily Herald.

"Either you have to change what you are doing or you have to change the people, and we decided to change a few of the people around," Doman told the Daily Herald. "We're going to hit some hiccups along the way, but I think the changes created a different mindset for us."

Making changes on the offensive line brought immediate results, as the Cougars beat Hawaii 47-0, Friday, according to the article.

"Our guys came out with a different mindset entirely," Doman told the Daily Herald.

The changes can be attributed to center Braden Hansen, guard Famika Anae, guard Manaaki Vaitai and guard Solomone Kafu, Doman told the Daily Herald.

USU will be a better yardstick to determine whether the changes have had a positive impact. Hawaii wasn't the best barometer.

Once they get used to their new positions, they will be one of the best O-lines in the country.
