Old timers deserve to have all their stats counted, because it was more difficult to gain stats back in the day (across the board).

Will Ty Detmer's records of 15,031 passing yards or 121 passing TDs ever be

Doubt it

I don't believe so. A player would have to dominate in their Freshman season

Pimpin4Paradise

7/18/17 12:15pm

well, unless they are 6' 170 like the guy whose record they are chasing.

Like this guy? He left after his Soph season.

Pimpin4Paradise

7/18/17 12:18pm

better said, unless they are a projected 7th round pick like the guy they are

smokymountainrain

No. Keep in mind that Detmer also had 1175 passing yards in bowl games

Indy Coug

Sucks, too, because Graham Harrell is 762 yards ahead of him for FBS #4

There's no reason the NCAA can't retroactively put in bowl yardage to

Indy Coug

7/18/17 12:24pm

Absolutely. Makes no sense

Twin Roots

7/18/17 12:34pm

Well, Detmer was getting 12 games and a bowl too

Indy Coug

Maybe they could retroactively give the WAC some real defenses too.

Miami and Penn State too since he passed for 980 yards on them in the space of 3 games

Indy Coug

7/18/17 1:01pm

And UCLA (377) and Iowa (350) and Wazzu (985) and Oregon (912)

Coop

I jest, I jest...

really? Why aren't detmer's included? IF they include them now they should go

ColonelMustard7

The NCAA didn't start including bowl stats until 2002

Any RM that has a strong enough start to break the record will Mika outta here

Do they have a European football league?

BYU would have to go back to being a skewed pass oriented offense

donnerstag

7/18/17 12:18pm

Technically no. It doesn't have to be skewed.

Sark played 15 games, and sacks shouldn't count as runs for this discussion

Coop

Only if we move backwards into a poor conference (producing a very poor schedule

A QB that starts their freshman year and dominates will be NFL bound by

DJROSS

7/18/17 12:23pm

Unless they are not a good pro prospect

donnerstag

7/18/17 12:25pm

the NFL doesn't like guys who are short, small and they feel don't have good

smokymountainrain

7/18/17 12:27pm

And BYU isn't going to have a QB like that, maybe ever again.

Lip Gallagher

7/18/17 12:39pm

No. Guys would go pro early now.

Kerbouchard

7/18/17 1:16pm

No. If any QB were that good, they probably go pro before senior season.

Won't be sniffed.
