After watching that BYU-SMU game many years later, and if one can take away the 1st two minutes that hugely favored SMU and also take away the last two minutes that hugely favored BYU, I came away thinking BYU actually dominated that game… What likely happened was with the blowout by SMU in the 1st two minutes mainly due to luck and a couple of BYU mistakes, BYU was rattled but settled down eventually. One could clearly see BYU dominate the line of scrimmage and eventually climb back in it.

By 2023 BYU will be in the Big XII conference a Power 5 conference also a chance to play for a National Championship in the College Football playoffs and New Year's Bowl game.

I used to watch this VHS over and over as a child. I thought it was so epic.

Nice

Steve Young in the Pro Football Hall of Fame

Properly propagandist, but who cares? We should all be proud of what this program has accomplished.

Narrator misspoke when he said detmer was a freshman in 92.

Byu was so good that year, George Orwell wrote a book about it.

im not a mormon and i question it as religion but i really like watching byu football qb u when i was a child here in alabama we played three yrds and a cloud of dust so seeing byu style was fun

DONALD TRUMP IS MY MAIN MAN! I H8 BURITOS!!!

what?

That was in 2007...

My Uncle, a BYU grad and Professor, left the game in the 3rd quarter and didn't find out that BYU won until he reached Las Vegas. I always wondered how Craig James and Eric Dickerson felt when they played against Jim McMahon, Via, and several others on the 1980 Cougar team when they were in the NFL.

look at that crowd lmaooo no colored people no fans hahah get up you old bastereds

im surprised that nobody realized that mike holmgren was shown at 4:50

Was that Tony Roberts doing the commentary????

Just another example of why he is a great receiver!

way to keep throwing your baby in the air at 5:35 stupid byu fan. go utes

@thewowdude15 nah, byu sucks.

yeah the past 20 years or so would be a sweet video as well. I still have this video. I watched these highlights the morning before every high school football game I played. Inspiration like no other no matter how many times i watched it

McMahon is one of my uncle's best friends really great guy.

This really should be called the greatest moments in College football history.

@saosky182 It's called tradition, and I love it!

That was inspiring! I want to go do something heroic now! But it's late so I'll just go to bed.

byu sucks.

Collie is still open and running, George is still running, and HARLINE IS STILL OPEN!!! GO COUGARS!!

I'm on the video, awesome. Too bad we got our butts kicked, haha.

Keep in mind it's the mythical National Championship. There were a few undefeated Jo Pa PSU teams that didn't get that title years before, he just bought them National Rings. I thought they deserved it. We the fans think of it as a Championship and fair play. But it's really all about money, and who gets to keep it; as well as who doesn't get a chance to get it. If BSU and TCU go undefeated, we'll see how "fair" the polls and the bowls are. Forever a Cougar Fan!

haha to bad you cougars got whipped!!! im sure you walked out of the bar! errr....... soda pop place or what ever you guys call it.. well to bad bad you guys got smashed at home!

You can contact the BYU Alumni and they can get you the more recent DVD about BYU football. Ty 15000+ yards a ton of NCAA Records Heisman Winner Coach Edwards and Norm Chow were masterful for over 15 years! C-O-U-G-A-R-S!

It was a killer season from the start.. losses to FSU / UCLA / Penn State but that San Diego State game was like being at the 84 championship game though it was 52-52 tie. Ty still was playing brilliantly!

Go COUGS!!!

1984. What a great season. That first game on ESPN I think was called the Pig Skin Classic and nobody gave BYU a chance. Little did they know... The film fails to mention how Oklahoma's Coach and the media just kept putting BYU down. Switzer and Sooner in the Orange Bowl against Washington insisting that game winner should be #1. Bryant Gumbel calling BYU's opponent Bo Diddle Tech. Robbie Bosco and Company finished as the only undefeated team in the Nation #1. UW 28 - OU 17

BYU Golden years.. failed to mention that the LDS Church / Spencer Kimball made a concerted effort to put MORE into BYU football. Steve Young did not serve a mission because he "could do more for the church" playing football. It was a fun time to be in Provo and the new Stadium! Beating UCLA and winning the Holiday Bowl again!!

Crazy white people. . .

Too bad we lost to Florida State yesterday. Although I think if we put together a string of convincing wins, we'll still have a shot at a bowl game

one of the, if not then, the greatest game in byu history

great video. thanks for posting. Go cougs!

That game vs. San Diego State was '91 not '92 like the announcer says.

at that time, iowa and byu sort of owned the holiday bowl because it seemed like at least one of them was there during the 80s. it's too bad that they didn't meet more than that one time.

Cool.

Coouuggss!!

COOUUGGSS!!

BYU 1984 National Champs!!

RB eddie Stinnett was awesome too.

RB Thor Salanoa and Waymond Hamilton were good. I was actually pulling for Mizzou in teh Holiday Bowl. but BYU always played tough with anybody. Came back and won again. I was a lil kid. They got my respect there and pulled for them in the 1984 Holiday against Michigan while Pops was cheering BYU. 1983 BYU could have been champs too, if they beat Baylor in thebeginning of the year.

Tyhat game against SMU was a heartbreaker, but great comeback by BYU.

This video gives me goosebumps. Especially now, since the BYU program is on the upswing once again.

BYU all the way- great QBs Sheide, Nielsen, Wilson paved the way for the greats who came after them. Maybe Nielsen would have won the Heisman in '77 had he not gotten hurt-that was too bad, but at least Marc Wilson came on and helped save that year for BYU
