I am not really old enough to remember 80 and 84 but 96

cougarfann888

May 31, 11:37pm

Same here. My first game was BYU and Miami.

crack

May 31, 11:37pm

I barely remember 84....I have watched replays of games, but I do agree.....96..

carcoug

May 31, 11:41pm

I remember sitting on the couch in my apartment talking with my buddies after

crack

May 31, 11:45pm

Same....gut wrenching. That being said, me watching replays of BYU at UofU in 96

carcoug

May 31, 11:48pm

Surprised 2001 does not get more love. That Team was stacked with talent...

carcoug

Jun 1, 12:04am

80, 83, 84, 90, and 96 should have cemented Lavelle's legacy.....

carcoug

Jun 1, 12:11am

You should at least spell his name right...

SoBlueitHurts

Jun 1, 12:53pm

It played one of the easiest schedules in BYU modern history. BYU was playing

88Coug

Jun 1, 12:27am

Valid point, but that Team healthy was stacked....

carcoug

Jun 1, 12:31am

I would take 84, 90, 96, 83, 06, 07, over 2001, maybe more.

88Coug

Jun 1, 12:40am

Agree with the premise, but Staley was the X- Factor...never seen a BYU player..

carcoug

Jun 1, 1:38am

...on offense

SoBlueitHurts

Jun 1, 12:53pm

Just poorly coached defensively. DC Ken Schmidt should’ve retired with Edwards…

icecougar

Jun 1, 2:30am

Defense had talented edge players but front 7 was pudding soft in the middle.

UCLACoug

Jun 1, 7:14am

Might have had the best offense ever. The defense didn't consistently perform as

thewaterboy

Jun 1, 4:56am

I’ve been season ticket holder since 1988. 2001 is far and away most exciting

NYC and Japan

Jun 1, 7:53am

1979 as well. Finished the regular season undefeated. Marc Wilson finished #3

andrewg3

Jun 1, 9:56am

Didn’t have the best results, but I’d take the ‘85 team in a one-off with any

Ski-U-Mah

Jun 1, 12:40am

Yep. Lost 10-7 in Citrus Bowl to Ohio State in a defensive slugfest. UTEP cheated.

SierraCoug

Jun 1, 1:18am

That was an unfortunate game. A little too much partying the night before left…

icecougar

Jun 1, 2:45am

Not to mention blowing out whiny Washington as well as three shutouts.

Ski-U-Mah

Jun 1, 8:35pm

They lost at home to UCLA. I was at that game. Tough to put them on Par....

carcoug

Jun 1, 1:24am

UCLA finished ranked 7 and rose bowl champs. I was at the UCLA game. We had the lead at the end and gave up a huge play

SierraCoug

Jun 1, 1:38am

Good point. Probably a very overlooked BYU Team after 84.

carcoug

Jun 1, 1:54am

Then I joined the Marine Corps and pissed my Dad off....so there was that. Lol

carcoug

Jun 1, 1:59am

I think BYU fans and detractors alike often forget that we don’t have a 1984

H0us3Divided

Jun 1, 2:32am

83 team with Steve Young 500 yards total offense per game was better than 84 tea

Greg4BYU

Jun 1, 2:35pm

Was 2006 better than 2009?

JoeExotic

Jun 1, 5:45am

I also think 2021 was just as good

JoeExotic

Jun 1, 5:46am

Hard to know what SOS would've done in these other years. 2021 was impressive

SoBlueitHurts

Jun 1, 12:57pm

I think 2006 would beat 2009 in a bowl game but lose in a season opener.

CougarBreath

Jun 1, 9:08am

Exactly. 2006 team would’ve beaten nearly anybody at the end of the year.

RUNBYU1

Jun 1, 9:27am

2007 was better than both IMO.

andrewg3

Jun 1, 9:56am

My father told me about the 1984 team.

renzocapone

Jun 1, 7:17am

1996 had the Cotton Bowl win which was the most thrilling end to a game aside

nybyblue

Jun 1, 8:34am

2006 - if there was a playoff that year like next, BYU would have won it all

Bleeding Blue

Jun 1, 9:21am

The answer to me is 1984 because of the 23-game win streak

andrewg3

Jun 1, 9:57am

1984 team won the Natty, end of conversation!

sailorcoug11

Jun 1, 12:34pm

None of the above

schofim

Jun 1, 12:37pm

It had some missteps, but I think we undervalue 2021. Even though it was mostly

SoBlueitHurts

Jun 1, 12:52pm

I think the 2021 team was better when not injured than any of them.
