“After attending a banquet honoring the 1974 BYU team that won the Western AthleticConference and went to the Fiesta Bowl. It was the first of Edwards' 18 WAC champions and 21 bowl teams. That was the group of kids that totally changed the direction of my life and the direction of our football program. We started 0-3-1 and won seven or eight in a row. They were the first bowl team in school history. I hadn't really accomplished anything yet. To see all those guys reminded me where we've been. It was an emotional night.” - LaVell Edwards (1931- ) The Sporting News, sportingnews.com, Provo, Utah, October 30, 1999 - US head football coach, Brigham Young Univ. since 1972, record 251-95-3 at end of 1999.
