It was the beginning of my current BYU fandom.

It was a hot day. We brought a spray bottle with us and fought the heat by spraying water on each other.

Crushing Utah with only 12 pass attempts

I always think of beating ATM and KSU in the same season

Cyclogist

That was a great game against a very good Wyoming team.

I agree, but it's down my list of memories from that season...

True. That game was a bigger butt kicking than final score would indicate. BYU

I still get frustrated thinking about the no-calls for PI against KSU.

Metallicat

12/7/16 7:56am

Yep...but since the Y won, it kinda was forgotten about. One of the worst no

Amazing that 20 years later, people remember bad calls against the winning team.

Hard to forget two receivers getting tackled in the open field

All of the above plus thrashing the Yewts by running up the gut all game.

Kilgore Trout

Back when we owned the trenches. '96 may be the best O line/D line combination

I remember the win over aTm the most. Probably because I was there for it.

After a few games thinking Wow...We actually have a real defense.

We'd just finished grad school at tOSU so it was pretty awesome to have both alma maters end the season

The UW game was my first away game. I remember it being fun, but sad they lost.

Missing the entire season due to my mission. Entered the MTC the Wed before A&M

I got a little bit lucky and was able to at least see the A&M game.
