In 2019 Po’uha was part of a defensive staff that led the Utes to one of the most successful seasons in school history. Utah ranked No. 2 in the FBS in total defense and held six opponents to seven points or fewer, most by an FBS team since 2006. The Utes, the No. 3 rushing defense in the FBS, recorded the best statistical season by a conference team in the Pac-12 era in three categories: total yards (269.2), rushing yards (81.8) and points allowed (15.0) in 2019. Under Po’uha’s tutelage, defensive tackle Leki Fotu earned second-team All-America honors from Walter Camp and FWAA, and third-team from AP, while earning his second consecutive first-team All-Pac-12 nod. John Penisini earned second-team All-Pac-12.
