I love the story of him refusing to come off the field for the punt team.
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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!
