I agree that the 1985 team was in a position to have brought a consecutive championship to Provo. I wish that they would have utilized Blaine Fowler more as Bosco's backup. It's not hard to imagine how winning two in a row wouldn't have turned college football upside down. Maybe, we wouldn't have had to wonder in the wilderness for so many years.

Best team in BYU history. But Bosco just wasn’t healthy. IIRC Bosco wouldn’t throw a pass all week, saving his arm for

Bosco finished 3rd in the Heisman that year (and in 1984).

From '79-85 BYU's QB was a top 3 Heisman finalist 5 of the 7 years.

I’d take ‘85 head-to-head in a one-off against ‘84 or any other BYU team
