2008 was the quest for perfection, After the UCLA shutout and Top 10 ranking going into Ft Worth we all thought maybe BYU could be a NC contender. heck even the halftime big screen movies were about BYU busting the BCS that year.
2009, After the Oklahoma Win, Kirk Herbstreit was talking up BYU and even ranked us in his Top 5 teams after week 2.
Then FSU took advantage of an injury to Scott Johnson and our talented but raw freshman safety (Can't remember his name, but he was very talented). We also ran head first into a TCU game that showed just how good TCU really was and BYU finished as a Top 15 team after beating a very talented OSU team.
