INSANE BIG 12 Week: Utah Upset by Arizona, BYU Shocks Baylor, Kansa State Pulls Win, Texas Tech is BACK

Locked On Big 12 | Daily College Football & Basketball Podcast

BYU football has a storied history that makes it one of the most successful programs in college football. Founded in 1922, the Cougars have built a tradition of excellence, especially under legendary coach LaVell Edwards, who revolutionized the passing game. BYU’s 1984 National Championship remains the crown jewel of the program, as it solidified the school’s place among college football's elite. That title run, led by quarterback Robbie Bosco, still stands out as one of the great underdog stories in sports history.

The Cougars have consistently produced top-tier quarterbacks, earning the nickname "Quarterback U." Notable alumni include NFL greats like Steve Young, Jim McMahon, and Ty Detmer, who won the Heisman Trophy in 1990. This quarterback legacy has given BYU a reputation for producing high-powered offenses, a hallmark of their style of play.

As an independent program for many years before joining the Big 12, BYU has faced a challenging schedule each season, consistently playing against Power Five opponents and often pulling off impressive victories. Their fierce independence, national fanbase, and willingness to take on all challengers have made them a respected program across the country.

BYU’s entry into the Big 12 marks a new era for the program. They are now positioned to compete regularly against some of the top teams in the nation. With a passionate fanbase that stretches well beyond Utah, a history of quarterback greatness, and a culture of winning, BYU brings significant strength to the Big 12. Their combination of tradition, talent, and fan support ensures they’ll continue to be a force in college football.
