#1 Miami vs. BYU
Who could forget the Cougars' epic performance in their victory over number one ranked Miami in Provo. Ty Detmer grabbed the national media's attention by shredding the Hurricane defense in leading the C
ougars to a 28-21 victory. Etched in the my memory are a few plays in particular ... first, Detmer, having a sense that pressure was coming, steps back and two Miami defenders collide, then he fires a touchdown pass. Second, Detmer hangs in the pocket and takes a wicked shot to the chin (which would later require stitches), but still manages to get a great throw to Chris Smith downfield for a huge first down. Lastly, I remember Detmer scrambling to his left and throwing a great touch pass against his body to Matt Bellini for the Cougars' first touchdown of the game. Quite a performance! It is without a doubt that best BYU game that I have attended and may still be the best I have ever seen, although BYU vs. Utah 2006 (aka Beck to Harline) probably rates slightly higher in the greatest games I have ever watched category.
