    This article doesn't answer my question but it talks about Langi getting stuck in the gymnastics team's foam pit this spring (irretrievably losing his socks in the process--i wonder if they're still down there?) so it's pretty good.

    Also from the article:
    “It’s gotten down to the 390s now,” Langi said. “Eventually I want to be down in the 350s or 340s. It was hard at first, but seeing the results has been motivating. It’s addicting.”

    BYU senior defensive lineman Corbin Kaufusi said Langi looks a lot more dangerous when he is on the field now.

    “Mo is an awesome dude and the fact that he has dropped so much weight makes a difference,” Kaufusi said. “He’s still huge but that guy could drop a hundred pounds and still be the heaviest guy on this team. He’s way faster than he was before, so I just hope he keeps going.”

          • Some head scratchers: Oregon moves up 1 spot after a loss, Washington moves down 1 spot after a win. BYU jumps Michigan State even after MSU has a more impressive victory.

              Cal undefeated with a win over us but ranked 4 spots below us. Polls are dumb.

                Regardless of ranking, BYU is miles ahead of last year and I was dead wrong about their trajectory. Young talent and much better coaching.

                  And Ohio State picked up number one votes for destroying mighty Rutgers, notwithstanding the fact that its only quality win was throttled by an average-at-best Texas team.

                    To be fair, they are above the average Texas standard of recent years.

                      As distasteful as I find your abandonment of your team, to be fair you were not wrong about their trajectory last year. You were dead wrong about the possibility of turning it around and being competitive ever again.

                      • How can Texas ever be ranked above BYU?
                        Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

                        For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

                        Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."
