NCAA Football National Championship (1984)

In 1984, the BYU Cougars football team achieved a historic feat by winning the NCAA Football National Championship. This was a remarkable accomplishment as BYU became the first team from a non-Power Five conference (or its equivalent at the time) to claim a major national title since 1957.

The Cougars finished the season with an unblemished 13-0 record, making them the only undefeated team in Division I-A football that year. Their championship run culminated in a decisive victory over the Michigan Wolverines in the Holiday Bowl. Following their perfect season, BYU was crowned national champions by both the Associated Press (AP) and United Press International (UPI) polls, solidifying their unique place in college football history. Key figures from that championship team included quarterback Robbie Bosco and wide receiver Glen Kozlowski.
