One point. There were a couple of times that Dee Dowis stood as his team was lined up and refused to start the play...crowd just got louder. It was a blast.

It was friggin loud. I don't think I've ever been in such an electric atmosphere

That's not very realistic. Maybe replicating 80% of it would be a good goal

Maybe Whitt is going to take the USC job . . . or retire before we play Utah again.

2FarGone

9/14/21 6:17pm

He should take the usc job so we can beat him again this year

zephyr

9/14/21 6:29pm

he should take it because it's a solid move for him. 4-5 years of success at USC would put him on track for an NFL job

ChinaFan

He’s getting too old, isnt he like 61?

BYU vs AFA 1989, Dee Dowis cried to the refs it hurt his ears so much

9/14/21 6:25pm

Yep. That game was NUTS

inutero

He complained and under the old rules BYU was penalized for the crowd noise

Which only made the crowd louder

9/14/21 7:55pm

I think Mangum to Jeurgens followed by the Nacua pick 6 against BSU was louder.

Duke Silver

9/14/21 7:12pm

I was thinking the same thing. That Boise State game was way loud.

MrTootles

9/14/21 8:09pm

YES! hard to top that BSU game with those huge, game-winning back to back plays.

That's the loudest I've ever experienced. It was incredible.

He's right. It was the best I've ever seen either. Student section was amazing

The stadium south of them where they played the in-state game?

There was a lady near me that was screaming nonstop. I loved it. WEST SIDE GANG!

Probably the loudest I have ever heard the west side. West is getting better.

Was that the game where people were throwing tortillas on the field?

No, the crowd was waving anything yellow and then started flapping their arms saying "shhhh". It was awesome

People often threw touchdown tortillas on the field in that era.

Tortilla throwing wasnt A game

It was the loudest Les stadium ever.

Recently, I would almost have to go with BYU-BSU 2015 or even BYU-USC 2019 as louder, but it certainly was rocking on

specsauce

9/14/21 6:40pm

And BYU-A&M in 1996, despite a not quite sold out Stadium because not all students were back, might have been louder as

This is my vote.

USC was so hot. I can’t imagine we all had the energy to be as loud as Saturday.
