Top 5 Worst BYU football moments
In no particular order:
1. Motor City Bowl 2. Hawaii 2001 3. vs. Texas A&M in Holiday Bowl 4. Losing 7-0 to Utah, ending scoring streak 5. So many of the Crowton blowout losses, that they blend together |

it was actually 3-0 final score, so it obviously was not that much of a memory.

The absolute worst was the Nevada Reno disaster.
Second was probably Ronnie Jenkins getting caught. Third, Luke breaking his leg in Starkville. Fourth, wasn't there some hideous Crowton game against UNLV? Fifth, 1890 - early 1970s

As it's my duty to educate the young 'uns about days of yore, let me take you back to early '74 when BYU hosted the Utags. The game was abysmal, with the only scoring consisting of field goals. USU won, 9-6, and the refs called the game with about 90 seconds to go when a brawl broke out among the players. Players were swinging their helmets like a kind of medieval battleaxe. I was so fed up with the sorry state of BYU football that I went Liberty Jail in my entreaties to the football gods.
Happily, after getting smoked the following week at Iowa State, BYU's newfangled passing offense got untracked. The Cougs had averaged around 7 points a game to that point, and then averaged 30+ until the powers of darkness separated Sheide's shoulder in the Fiesta Bowl. Even during the Crowton years (and I was at Reno and later witnessed the CSU and Boise State demolitions) I never felt as bad about the state of BYU football as I did that ugly night against USU. It really is the darkest before dawn. |

I would argue that the CSU & BSU blowouts weren't among the worst moments, because by then we all knew that something was horribly wrong. After the UNR loss, I remember being shocked and dumbfounded, figuring that it must be a horrible fluke. Little did we know...
The loss in Boise sucked too. |
