I don't remember how he scored the tickets but my Dad took me and my brother to this game. I remember the crowd being so loud and just hanging out at the now Lavell Edwards Stadium for as long as my Dad would let us. Absolutely epic and Ty was the real deal...BYU's got Ty Power!

[@brettfavreify]

That's a good look for Eli.

[@beckyweech1969]

It was one of the best nights of my life! The game was so incredible. The entire student body and Provo felt full of electricity!!

[@ieatoutoften872]

I was at the B.Y.U. dormitory about a 1/2 mile from the stadium during the game. Every time Ty completed a pass, I could hear the croud roar. A few years latter, I was browsing through books at what is now the Utah Valley State College bookstore, and did a double-take when I saw a book cover titled "Into the Eye of the Hurricane," and realized somebody wrote a BOOK about that game. Epic.

I had just got married about a month before and that was my first BYU football game. We received a new VCR for our wedding and I set the recorder so we could rewatch the game later. Found out when we got home that with that particular VCR you had to shut the power off in order for it to record. It was a very fun game to witness.

[@adamloughran]

I attended that game... it's the day I became a BYU football fan.

[@mspionage1743]

Before the game, did you/anyone around you think that BYU stood much of a chance? What do you remember from the game?

[@adamloughran]

@@mspionage1743 a long time ago... student at BYU. We knew we had a great team and with rose colored glasses, felt Detmer was a baller. The place believed we could beat Miami.

[@Uhtred-the-bold]

One of the greatest QB performances I’ve ever seen in college football

[@ryandooley956]

First game I ever attended at BYU, what a start, what a memory. Stormed the field after that game. I still have the light blue tie/Ty they handed out later to promote Ty for the Heisman Trophy. Ty wasn't the biggest guy but he played huge, with guts and skill. So many times he completed a pass when he was half in to being sacked. Pure magic. Ty-Thanks for the memories!

[@callsop100]

I was a flight instructor in the navy in Corpus Christi Texas, my student had tickets from a friends family who couldn’t go because of a wedding. I took mom and dad, outside the stadium people were waving $100. Bills around trying to buy entrance. It was one of the best moments in BYU history and a memory I cherish. The flight there and back was fun also.

[@marktuttle6003]

Rise AND shout!!! Love you Ty!!! I still have a couple of your posters from those years up.

[@ep4169]

They didn't show Ty's best play of all that game. Down near the end zone, two Miami defenders closing in on him, Detmer took a quick step back at the last possible second and the two defenders collided into each other. Ty then found Mike Salido for the game-winner.

[@MikeParody]

Yep. Weak they didn’t.

[@BeachSR17]

My neighbors in my apartment complex all heard me celebrating that day!

[@JackRabbit-us9uk]

Why is Jim McMahon in the thumbnail and not Detmer ?

[@coultergill7728]

It’s part of Eli’s places on the service. That’s why Jim is on the photo

[@franklinkoonce4245]

JSU is America's Team I BELIEVE THEE I LOVE ❤️ ❤️

[@capitanfuturo594]

Miami Hurricanes in their heyday were far more dominant than Saban's Alabama. In the 80's and 90's there were no college playoffs from which Saban has taken great advantage.

[@magacop5180]

Ty could have been the next Joe Montana if he wasnt surrounded by Bonehead coaches and knucklehead owners.

[@prestonblacker3492]

Go Cougs 🤙🏻

[@outsideropinion6561]

Can't believe they didn't show the game winner. So iconic

[@matthewhunter6421]

you should do an interview with Ty Detmer, but put Jim McMahon in the thumb nail, that would be awesome. Oh, wait...

[@jasonkeuma1986]

He mentioned the altitude. 5400’ air is different than sea level air. He’s not joking.

[@JT-ly1gp]

4500 ft is not that high, teams use the excuse for altitude when they lose. There are several locations back east where the altitude is not that much lower; if you are a well conditioned athlete, it is not even noticeable.

[@hudedwards8943]

Ask him about the Holiday Bowl…

[@RS-tz2zn]

Which one? He played in 3.

[@hudedwards8943]

@@RS-tz2zn I didn’t realize that. 1990 game against Texas A&M.

[@RS-tz2zn]

@@hudedwards8943 Yes, that was a tough game for him, the wrecking crew were good! As an FYI...he had one of his greatest games ever against Penn State in the year prior in the Holiday Bowl. In the Holiday Bowl in the year after A&M, he had a so-so game against Iowa throwing a pick at the end of the game that caused the game to end in a tie.

[@hudedwards8943]

@@RS-tz2zn I was a student at A&M then. Detmer is tougher than a $2 steak. Separated and left shoulder and remained in the game until his right shoulder was separated, if I remember correctly.

[@RS-tz2zn]

@@hudedwards8943 Yes, that is what I remember too. A&M is a great school, I've been to a couple of games at Kyle Field, when the team was down in the mid 2000s. It is great to seem them doing better now!

Detmer won't talk about the racist behavior of his alma mater BYU SMH 🙄🤔

Me. Waiting for someone to have facts before jumping to conclusion. You realize NOonE else heard a thing?

@@jasonkeuma1986 let me know when you can be honest with YOURSELF and then try to address the situation. Until then kindly STFU

What was the racist behavior that BYU did?
