TY DETMER

Brigham Young University

Quarterback, 1988-91



With a Heisman Trophy, a Maxwell Award, two Davey O'Brien Awards and 59 NCAA records, Ty Detmer left BYU as one of the most accomplished quarterbacks in college football history. His accomplishments led him to become a College Football Hall of Fame inductee, and the sixth Cougar to enter the sport's ultimate shrine.



Twice named a consensus All-American, Detmer won national player of the year awards from organizations such as UPI, CBS, Scripps Howard and the U.S. Sports Academy. His 15,031 career passing yards and 121 touchdowns were NCAA bests at the time, and the gunslinger still holds nine NCAA records. A three-time First Team All-WAC performer, Detmer led College Football Hall of Fame coach LaVell Edwards' teams to three conference championships, four bowl games, three AP top 25 finishes, a 28-21 win over top-ranked and defending national champion Miami on Sept. 8, 1990 and a 37-13-2 overall record. The NCAA Today's Top VI Award recipient still holds 10 school records, including the season and career marks for total offense, passing yards and 400-yard games.

Detmer actually had some nice tackles on WR/RB/OL after TD passes, and he sure was a Houdini getting out of the grasp of several oncoming DL. Well deserved induction for TY - now let's get him as QB coach at the Y ;-)

Awesome Hawk. Thanks.

That was back when Olinemen could destroy Dlinemen. Back when there were no kid gloves from the Oline coach.

And as for QB coach---uh, below his pay grade and talent. At minimum OC. At best, Head coach when Bronco is done dealing with spoiled fans and the media.

Now with a BETTER video!!

They better start playing this over the PA. I can't imagine Johnny Biscuit will give them any headaches with rights.

His pic is on the frontpage of ESPN right at this moment
