Yep, the '84 team had some nail-biters against lesser competition

The games against Hawai'i, Wyoming, and Air Force were all decided by a touchdown or less. The Utah game wasn't decided until the 4th quarter.

ETA: Another similarity: The team went 4-0 and then had a week off in late September.

Compare this team to BYU 1984 or 1996. Compare to Utah 2004 or 2008

I was thinking exactly the same thing. Also doesn't remember 1983 or 1980.

Don't compare them.

Actually I was thinking this team was very similar to 1984

UU 2008 was a handful of plays away from 3 losses.

I still have no idea how TCU managed to lose to them that year.

Sorry, but you completely lost me at Utah 2008...

To go undefeated is difficult no matter SOS

Agree, but how is this year's BYU team (so far) not comparable to Utah 2008?

9/21/14 9:31am

You're basing that opinion on a few close/sloppy games?

Doesn't change the fact that Utah needed luck that year...

9/23/14 8:44am

I agree

I do have a foggy memory but did we play USU that year and what was the score?

I really don't remember the 1984 team very well, but I don't think this team is
