I'd say it's debatable if any of them really have.

All of them are still generally considered programs capable of competing for a national championship and recruiting and playing at an elite level.

I don't equate cyclical performance variations as having much to do with branded mystique.

I think 11/22/2003 was the low point for BYU post 1970

East Carolina in 2017 was worse.

Scoring streak ended; utah won; Crowton ended the mystique

If were talking about a "mystique" of BYU football, that flew out the window

Lavell, had a mystique; crowton's first year looked like a return to greatness

The true LaVell mystique died forever during the five-game stretch between

There is not the same mystique around any of those teams.

Nebraska is probably a better example of what I think you're describing.

Yes, Alabama has mystique but so does Saban

By your take of when those lost their mystique it would be 1987 or so for BYU

I was there with cousins who attended ECU. They thought they'd get killed.

I think September 17, 2011 & November 18, 2018 were much worse

There is a difference between a bad loss and a low point

2003 football finish = 68. 2017 football finish = 112. 2017 was LOW.

You are right. I guess I don't even consider the Independence years to be BYU

TomPetty

6/21/21 5:44pm

If you exclude independence, losing to Utah in ‘03 & ‘04 were definitely low pts

BYU Fan

Still though, ECU was just one game. That season wasn't going well, so it

Lip Gallagher

Agree. That was awful

Not even. Low point was Utah going to pac 12. It was the beginning of the end for BYU football
