About BYU Football

BYU (Brigham Young University) is a unique, private university owned and operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  Students attending the school experience a much different lifestyle compared to the normal college student.  Before attending BYU, students agree to live the BYU "Honor Code", which is a code of conduct and standards that includes not participating in the use of illegal substances and alcohol, nor participating in premarital sex.  Along with that, students are expected to keep themselves "well groomed" by maintaining a conservative hair style and remaining clean shaven.

No doubt, such differences in student commitment calls for a difference in culture in the university.  Such a culture has helped to develop a BYU Football tradition, which has captured millions of fans across the world.  With the help of Lavell Edwards, BYU gained its reputation as a passing offense and was truly one of the pioneers of college football passing teams.  Such a reputation helped to give the nickname "Quarterback University", as BYU seemed to field some of the best quarterbacks in the country year in and year out.  In 1984, BYU won a National Championship, which still remains it only one.

Since, then, the BYU football program has continued to thrive and find success in its program.  Though there has been ups and downs as there is with every football program, BYU continues to find ways to fight through times and come up on top.

BYU-Football.com is a site dedicated to the BYU football tradition.  Here we will discuss up to date news and information regarding the football team.  We also invite all to come and join in on the discussion using our message boards, as long as discussion remains respectful.  With the bright future that BYU Football has in front of them, there should be a lot of new memorable moments up and coming.
