Probably frustrating for a coach at the time, but I love his determination and that it caused LaVell to change his mind and go for it.

The audio on that should be against the honor code. My ears are still hurting.

It's probably just the rustling of the copious amounts of ear hair.

Some of those catches were every bit as impressive as the throws.

Brisco

Agreed: Catches were more impressive IMO

Jim was a great "motivator" -the receivers did not want to face him after a drop

He was actually at the QB reunion vs Washington in 2010

Who was the green and yellow team in those highlights? Packers? NDSU?

Long Beach State?

You're right. They looked green, but I guess it's brown and yellow.

Wonder if Max Hall watched a lot of McMahon clips as a youth because

What sticks out to me in the video: Receivers going all out. I miss that.

Sir Hammer

8/17/17 3:45pm

Yup...those receivers gave it up to make the grab

Borg

8/17/17 8:31pm

DBs were not coached nor allowed to grab and hold all game back then either!

He threw a nice ball. Made it look effortless

How did he win 5 WAC titles? Is that possible in football? Different sports?

CoolB

Including his redshirt year in 1979 when Wilson led the team?

Bringing Jim back into the family has been one of best things Tom Holmoe has done for BYU

These highlights remind me of what Steve Young said in his book. Everyone was

I don't know. There were a lot of clips where nobody was open and the receiver

DirtyWater

So are he and Joe Montana the only NFL QBs to beat out Steve Young for a job?

problem was Taysom went off the field with broken foot just before that, so it

pegushin

It was.

Archaea

Jim had the best arm of any BYU QB. If I need to win one game and can pick any BYU QB, I'm taking Jimmy Mac!

People also forget that he was the punter his freshman season.

I think we underestimate how much BYU football owes to that dude. Phenomenal.

Nobody had swagger in the pocket like McMahon. #mcswagger
