With BYU earning its 500th win on Saturday against the Aztecs, it got me thinking: what are the top 10 greatest moments in Cougar history?
Let us know what you think are the top 10 greatest moments in BYU football history and we'll post the results on Friday, October 23rd.
Some ideas to post/discuss below:
BYU beating #1 Miami; BYU beating Michigan in '84 for the NC; Ty Detmer winning the Heisman; the 1996 team that won the Cotton Bowl; BYU beating Pitt in 1984; Beck to Harline; Collie's 4th and 18; the Miracle Bowl vs. SMU; Steve Young's catch and run in the '83 Holiday Bowl.
You get the idea...

Greatest moments
Well I don’t know how you can vote out the NC game. My excuse is that I wasn’t much of anything then. So in my small football lifetime I would have to vote Detmer winning the Heisman, which is probably one of my earliest memories.
Omarr Morgan interception
in the ‘96 Copper Bowl to beat Kansas State is one of my great memories, but I think the greatest moment is the 1980 Miracle Bowl, and specifically Clay Brown’s TD reception of Jim McMahon’s hail mary as time expired.

I don't think I can put together 10 but I'll try...
- of all time has to be the Harline catch! Hands down my favorite moment in all of sports! I still get chills watching it today.
- (I wasn’t born but the hilights are incredible!) is the Miracle Bowl. 3 TD’s in 2:30 minutes.
- BYU finishing as NC in ’84
- BYU beating OU
- BYU beating Miami
- Ty Detmer winning the Heisman
- BYU beating UCLA last year 56-0… the game itself didn’t have much weight on the season BUT I was a little tyke in SoCal when BYU would come down and get slaughtered by UCLA in the ‘90s. This game speaks volumes about the change BYU has experienced since Bronco’s arrival
- Gilford’s pick to beat Utah in Lavells last game
- the ’96 team, capped off with a great win in the Cotton Bowl
- 4th & 18
Wow, I did it. Now some of them might just be big wins for the Cougar faithful against our hated foe’s in Salt Lake but to me they are great moments in BYU’s program.
