on New Year's Day. I guess it wasn't. The 1985 Citrus Bowl was a day game during holiday break I guess, but not on new year's day.

For those who’ve been around 50 years of BYU, what was the best year?

Anyone not including 1990 has their head in the sand. Heisman and win over #1!

It also had the season end with two dislocated shoulders for Ty, and

PhilPete

Sep 17, 6:29pm

I think his shoulders were separated not dislocated, but yes, an ignominious end to a glorious season

Edwards 1st year 1972 was a year to remember. Much renewed excitement.

Virgil Carter showed LaVell (then DC) that BYU could win by passing

Was Dewey Warren as OC the next year in 1973?

gopman

Sep 17, 7:28pm

He was QB/WR coach. I think Kragthorpe was OC.

1984 easily. That season was as much fun as a season could be

The stretch from 79 to 85 was legendary and where BYU was at the top of its game

2001 was amazing until Staley got hurt.

TADOW

That was fun for me because I was a student at that time.

Offense was great but the defense was bad.

gopman

Sep 17, 7:36pm

1983 - 1985 run was probably the best
