I believe it was when it was 45-25 that OP ventured those famous words- BYU plays like a HS team. Four minutes later Uh.....

No. 26 was a good one too. SMU 34 Tech 27. Miracle Man Bobby Leach. Stallion was in attendance, I understand.

Yes, I was in San Diego for that game (living in LA then) and what a heart breaker. If we had won, we would have been ranked in the top ten in both polls. Ah, the glory days. And what a night Craig James had, I think he may have had over 200 rushing yards alone. Hope one day to see another big time bowl game like that, with a different ending of course!

I still remember the 1 hopper BYU TD pass that the WACky officials overlooked for 1 of those last 3 BYU TDs. :shock:

I remember it to. I was at the game and we were giving hell to the ref, (it was almost half time) who turned and said "why are you complaining -look at the score".

I would like to meet him again for just a short discussion.
