A few questions about 1990 BYU:

Blue Mountains

remember he hurt his shoulder

boxydutch

12/12/19 4:53pm

I remember it was hurt for the A&M bowl game. Was it for Hawaii also? Seems like

Blue Mountains

And cut his hand during a science lab before the Oregon game.

he was not 100% versus Hawaii or A & M

boxydutch

12/12/19 4:54pm

I went to the A&M game and had tickets behind the bench

OU Cougar

As much as I loved coach Edwards he didn't ever seem motivated to win bowl games

Hawaii had 50K fans show up and a pretty good offense. They were sick and tired

are you really blaming it on the fans?

Sea Chicken

12/12/19 5:04pm

I'm blaming the team for not being ready to play in that environment. I gave you

12/12/19 5:05pm

They would have lost that game if 6 fans showed up

Sea Chicken

12/12/19 5:19pm

You don't think those huge crowds did anything to amp the Rainbows? Those

Lavell was getting old and forgetful and thought the Hawaii game was a bowl game

byubyu

12/12/19 5:07pm

10 interceptions came in the 3 losses, 5 of which were post heisman

rcbyufan

12/12/19 5:07pm

He also threw 5 against Miami. Mind blower we still won.

8theU

12/13/19 7:36am

1 int. 5 total turnovers.

Y05

12/13/19 8:44am

He took a lot of chances after games were decided just for fun

jkccoug

12/13/19 8:28am

Or so Lavell used to say

jkccoug

12/13/19 12:12pm

we blitzed Miami and rushed 3 and dropped 8 vs Hawaii

BigYfan

12/12/19 5:08pm

Also, in the 80's we deferred our home games with Hawaii, as BYU loved the

12/12/19 5:13pm

people did not air it out like they do now days. We were still a novelty in football. We were on the back end of our run

indocoug

12/12/19 5:15pm

Our defense was good and opportunistic in its own right

INTs across the board were much higher back then. The current spread offense

Thrill

12/12/19 5:29pm

he is tied for the most INTs in a game in the NFL as well.

oryguncoug

12/12/19 5:55pm

Half of those ints came in 3 games. We lost 2 of them.

Y05

12/12/19 6:40pm

Ty threw lots of Ints

CasualFan

12/12/19 6:56pm

Ty was very aggressive, and Chow let him be aggressive

BeardedSpock

12/12/19 8:08pm

Ty was Jimmer before there was a Jimmer

Borg

12/12/19 10:26pm

The last pass of his career was an INT and cost him the chance a win over a Top 10 team.

SpiffCoug

12/13/19 7:48am

Ty wasn’t 100% for the bowl game and then A&M finished the job

arizonacougarfan

12/12/19 7:12pm

It was a freaking night game in Hawai’i, they were emotionally spent...

12/12/19 8:35pm

If you lived to see and experience Detmer...you'd know the answers

I just wish I remembered the Ty years better. I was middle school age and didn't

whiteninja

12/13/19 6:25am

I know lots on CB think Ty doesn’t understand football as per many of your posts

8theU

12/13/19 8:03am

Ty Detmer was/is one of my football heroes. I can see how my post could

Blue Mountains

12/13/19 9:19am

And...like you I’ve been ticked at how some on here disparage Ty. But I’ve never

Blue Mountains

Ty had a weak arm for a high level QB. Long balls floated and DBs had more time

ALUF 1990

12/13/19 8:27am

signed, Utah who were 1-3 against Detmer including a 70-point debacle

boxydutch

12/13/19 10:28am

Cosigned by a Ute fan that said he was a high level QB. He had a super high IQ

ALUF 1990

12/13/19 11:48am

Post script: Signed a Ute fan that was probably a BYU fan in 80's and 90's

rcbyufan

12/13/19 12:19pm

Not too far off. BYU fan thru 1983. Utah since.

ALUF 1990

12/13/19 8:28pm

This won't be a popular opinion, but the heisman field in 1990 was pretty weak.
