Victory over the number one team in the nation and springboard to the Heisman for Ty. Put BYU back in the discussion for the next decade.

Is the Boise State game the biggest game BYU will have played since the 1984

2006 TCU could be considered. That game was a springboard for BM as a coach

I agree it was a big game but we were out of national picture already

2009 Florida state

Please don't remind me.

yep. Sad outcome there, but we were on the way to a NY6 bowl there for sure.

That might be the biggest letdown we've ever had. Total face palm reality check.

Sod cemetery.

I went to that game. It was the last game before I went into the MTC.

There was never a game that I was more excited to be in LES (names that later)

Or the Cotton Bowl win against Kansas State

A 2001 win over Hawaii could have easily changed the course of BYU football.

AF Cougar

BCS had already officially released BYU from consideration prior to that game

cougarmeister

But could have strengthened our national clout.

Would have fully demonstrated the corruption of the cartel.

Wasn’t that the first game of the season?

1996 UW we win we are undefeated and likely National Champios

BYU Grounds

10/24/20 8:29am

Utah 2008. Win & we likely get a BCS game.

BYU had already lost to TCU, in convincing fashion.

Win over highly ranked rival, could have spoiled Utah's perfect season.

The MWC was waaaaay better than the WAC

CaliWG

AND keep Utah from BCS AND Bama, AND out of Pac12, AND from out of state

2009 TCU

Wyoming 1996 should be considered

BYU Fan

10/24/20 7:19am

That game got pretty big TV ratings as well

Blue Cat

10/24/20 7:21am

Still crazy to think the pokes didn’t go bowling that year

JONBOY

I'd forgotten that point. They were an excellent football team.

ReyOso

10/24/20 8:06am

Have a few teams to beat first. Don't forget umass, ecu, and portland state

If Boise State was a top 15 team by the time we play them it moves that game

Many pollsters aren't rating teams that haven't played

No, that's silly; overstates importance of game 8 and understates importance of 1-7
