Especially in the late '80s and early '90s. The game has changed a lot since

Detmer was playing for BYU. Lots of rule changes to help promote passing and high-scoring games. A 2-to-1 ratio of passing TDs to interceptions was great back then. Obviously Detmer was doing something right because he held the NCAA record for passing efficiency for quite a long time.

Interesting fact about Ty. He's thrown the most INTs of any QB in BYU history

I've said this all along. Let Mangum throw 3 picks a game and 3 TD's, it won't

Is a long pass INT really any worse than a 3 and out?

10/23/17 7:50pm

It's much better, because if it's not an INT it's an immediate TD. There is

Not many guys played 4 straight years. But, yes that’s a lot of INTs

Four straight years and he threw a lot of balls.

2-1 TD/INT ratio is fine with me. If a QB throws 30 TDs and 15 INTs that’s ok with me.

He had a solid NFL career to boot. He is not overrated.

Let's take all our heroes and cut their playing career down to size

Lucky overachiever? Worst Heisman Trophy winner ever? You really don't know much

Probably wasn't alive in 1994. #millenials

Context to consider if you're fair minded enough (which i seriously doubt)

CLCougar

Semanoff didn’t play with Ty, and he had great byu WRs his entire career.

10/23/17 8:13pm

You are correct on Semanoff, my bad....i just knew it wasn't a strong group

CLCougar

10/23/17 8:28pm

Joe Semanoff was a fullback and he played over a Decade after Ty.

10/23/17 8:20pm

And I think he's on CB, could probably bear testimony of this

Wow. Just. Wow. This is a guy who won the heismsn in his worst year. That's

Stop being rational...some of these people are in a frenzy and lashing out.

If you really think that, you don’t watch much football and you never watched him play. Heck, look at his contemporary

Nobody is asking you to be a fan. There are other programs that you can cheer

I have been very harsh of ty the coach but ty the player deserved everything he

Yeah he just broke like 50 NCAA records by happenstance...(eye roll)

Not really comparing Mangum to Detmer or INTs and TDs.

Bryceo19

10/23/17 7:56pm

I dunno...

teancum

Can't really compare Doman to Ty since Doman only played started his senior yea

akmewg

10/23/17 7:58pm

What does his playing career have to do with anything?

macaroni

10/23/17 7:59pm

Let me spell it out for you.

Bryceo19

10/23/17 8:07pm

Let me spell it out for you: Totally irrelevant to his current position.

10/23/17 8:14pm

Everything is relavent. This is CB!

Bryceo19

10/23/17 8:19pm

No, it's not.

crazY

10/23/17 8:21pm

Yes, it is!

Bryceo19

No. Just, no.

crazY

Yes. Just, yes!

Bryceo19

10/23/17 8:34pm

I think you're trolling. Not everything is relevant on CB. Only relevant info

crazY

10/23/17 8:42pm

Yes, only relevant info is relavent. Like Ty's playing and coaching careers.

Bryceo19

10/23/17 8:46pm

But his coaching is irrelevant to his playing.

crazY

10/23/17 8:49pm

Clearly in your opinion. Thank you. I respectfully disagree.

Bryceo19

10/23/17 9:00pm

How are the two relevant?

crazY

10/23/17 9:17pm

I’m pretty sure this is CB actually.

Killer instinct? I could forgive him if he was too aggressive and that lead to

So, you're saying we should expect the most losing seasons in BYU history, and

No. I'm not talking about wins and losses. That's a team thing.

We should have benched Ty.

10/23/17 8:05pm

For Sean Covey? Right! Bench the guy with 2:1 TD:INT for guy with 1:1.

No and no.
