LaVell’s biggest legacy isn’t even football, it’s the good man he chose to be.

No mention of Norm Chow, who stayed with Edwards longer than any of those other coaches you mentioned! Scovil was thought to be the mastermind of the BYU offense, but when he left for San Diego St, Chow took over play calling and they continued the winning ways.

Do you think tha Lovell Edwards was only one changing college football’s passsing game? No. Don Coryell at San Diego State had a big part of that passing offense game plan and also coached at the NFL. In order to be competitive with the power conference football, a few coaches saw the road to success in the 60’s and 70’s. It’s just that BYU might have been one the best to do so.

Don Coryell led to Lavell Edwards which led to Bill Walsh which led to fundamental changes in both college and professional football.

Truth = BSU has done more with less than any other program. They rank way lower in budget than BYU …and recruiting. And has the most wins since yr 2000, than any other D1 school. Also BSU has a winning record all time against bigger conference team (for half of those games) byu. So ya…. Maybe know the truth.

Boise benefited by taking players who couldn't qualify academically at other schools or had other problems and that is what they continue to do because Boise as an institution offers very little to anyone particularly when it comes to money and academics.
@TheForgottenMan27022 сағат бұрын
Which means nothing in the grand scheme of things. BSU has done absolutely nothing to change the landscape of college football. They are only one of the benefactors of changes made because of LaVell. When LaVell took over at BYU they were not even close to being a "big" program. All you've done is compare the BYU of today to where BSU started from, which makes your argument disingenuous. It's actually easier to compete in college football now than when LaVell was taking over at BYU.

Hard to argue against it when you consider how many big time NFL players came from his tenure. Then you consider his coaching tree. Even if it’s mostly college coaches, they are still influencing and “changing” the NFL today.

I was on campus during LaVell's early years. A couple of fun facts: • One key to the early passing success was that we (BYU) had more receivers than run-first teams had corner backs. Fresh wide receivers went long on almost every play by substituting liberallly while the run-first team's few corner backs quickly were gassed. As soon as the wide receivers reported that the CBs were tired, bombs away for big chunk plays. • As I recall, Steve Young threw 5 TDs in his first game. 3 were for BYU so we won by 7 points. We had a lot of interception while developing the pass-heavy offense. I thought about recommending an offensive safety who'd line up 15 yards behind the QB and just wait for the interception run backs.

This video has aged well! No sarcasm! Just watched it in light of BYU's victory. This was a great retrospective, complete with film from those previous infamous and epic rivalry matchups. Other KZbinrs and commentators talk about some of these moments, but they only talk, failing to show the full and expansive list of crazy, heartstopping finishes. Lending your explanation and providing a voice over the clips of footage from each of those coronary-inducing finishes from yesteryear was far above any other videos I've seen this past 2 weeks, and most of those were from professional outlets who just dont put in the work. Thank you! Keep up the elite work. Your channel feels different, just like this BYU team this season, up to this point anyway. Lets hope they can manage to win their next 5 matches. All their remaining matches might be asking too much, but the next 5 would be amazing.

Now for the EST Coast, u may have some truth, but again how often do they play so far east? It's like saying: BYU cant win on days ending in Y, or against teams with animal mascots, or blue colors, or against back up centers?? No, its a rivalry!! It will come down to the 4th qtr or even the last field goal... wink, wink??😅

And now BYU has beaten that "top ten" defense. It wasn't pretty, but they did do it. And BYU's defense? They admittedly got schooled in the 2nd quarter on Saturday. But man, they held Utah scoreless during quarters 1, 3, & 4. I'd say that is a pretty great team effort.
