Furthermore, he had 3 of the best games ever played by a BYU QB, period. His

performance in the second half against Fresno State was nothing short of spectacular: 439 yards, 5 TDs, and 0 interceptions, while leading a furious rally from behind. He torched Oklahoma in the Copper Bowl, still one of BYU's best-ever bowl wins. Add the school-record 619 yards in the loss to Utah State (58-56!). Guy deserves a lot more credit than he gets.

John Walsh doesn't get much respect but he's 1 of 4 QB's to lead BYU to top 10

For some reason, fans never warmed up to him.

I think it was the loss to Utah. It was just hard to fathom a great BYU team
