Strong case to be made that this is the third-best season in program history.

It was the most amazing, disappointing season in byu history.

Nonsense. The word "disappointing" doesn't belong anywhere near this team.

The Kansas loss is an all time disappointment. Im not talking about the team

Well the 2 losses were disappointing for sure, but the team itself wasn’t!

You could throw 79 and 83 in there as well

12/28/24 10:28pm

83 absolutely. 79 deserves credit as being the squad that "did it

I was born in 79’ in nov so I’d like to take credit for that

Go back and look at expectations preseason. Overachieved by a mile

2001 was pretty darn good too. But yes 3rd best has validity to it.

2001 unfortunately had a horrible defense. Gilford was the only

And a worse ending to the season. The Hawaii and bowl games were bad.

Most overrated team in BYU football history.

Crowton may well have had both the most overrated and underrated teams in our

2020 was more overrated than 2001

Lots of legit talent on 2020 team that ended up in the NFL BUT the

1996 had the "most balanced" (pass/run) offense I've ever seen.

12/28/24 10:25pm

Fully agree. Solid #3

Don't tell Brisket. He is too busy looking at ways the team can get better to

Given the strength of schedule, I absolutely agree.

2007-2009 were decent teams but laid some big eggs.

1984, 1980, 1983, 1996, 1979, 1981, 1990, 2006, 2009, 2007, 2024.

I like that list a lot. I'd put 2007 and 1979 below 2024, but

12/28/24 10:54pm

They're all pretty close. Liked 1977 also. Loved Gifford Nielsen, Marc Wilson, McMahon, Young. Avoiding recency bias.

Pioneers who laid the foundation. Absolute respect.

12/28/24 11:06pm

I think you have 2024 too low.

12/28/24 11:03pm

Maybe. But offense is certainly not top 10. Retzlaff not yet close to BYU greats. Agree defense is one of best ever. One

True, but their ST/defense and overall resume put them above 2006, 2007, & 2009

12/28/24 11:27pm

06 and 07 were legit well rounded teams

stansburycoug

12/29/24 11:56am

I don’t consider well rounded to be the determination of which is better

12/29/24 1:56pm

No way you can put 2024 below a team like 1990 that had multiple blowout losses.

shoganai

12/28/24 11:25pm

And many more impressive blowout wins. BYU was ranked #4 going into final reg. game. Spent too much time on beach where
