BYU STUNS SMU in Dallas: Expansion Big 12 Over ACC, Fire Aaron Roderick, Jay Hill Lifetime Contract

Locked On Big 12 | Daily College Football & Basketball Podcast

BYU football has a rich and storied history, making it one of the most successful college programs outside the traditional Power Five conferences. The program’s success is anchored by its 1984 national championship, a remarkable achievement that solidified BYU’s place on the national stage. That year, under the leadership of legendary coach LaVell Edwards, the Cougars went undefeated, finishing with a 13-0 record and securing the title after a win in the Holiday Bowl.

Edwards, who coached the team from 1972 to 2000, is widely credited with transforming BYU into a powerhouse. His innovative passing offense was ahead of its time and produced numerous prolific quarterbacks, such as Steve Young, Jim McMahon, and Ty Detmer. Detmer won the Heisman Trophy in 1990, further cementing BYU’s status as a program that could develop top-tier talent and compete on a national level.

BYU has won numerous conference titles, including many during its time in the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) and the Mountain West Conference (MWC). The Cougars have consistently been bowl-game participants, with memorable victories against top teams, showcasing their ability to compete against the best.

In addition to on-field success, BYU is known for its passionate fan base and unique culture, which blends athletics with the school’s religious values. The program’s commitment to excellence both on and off the field has made BYU a respected name in college football, and its historical success continues to influence its prominence in the sport.
