Big 12's BEST Bets: BYU Upsets Baylor in Waco, Utah SLAMS Arizona, Texas Tech, Iowa State Take Care

Locked On Big 12 | Daily College Football & Basketball Podcast

Historically, BYU football has a more storied and successful tradition compared to Baylor. One of the biggest factors in BYU's historical success is its consistency in winning over the years. The Cougars have a proud football legacy, highlighted by a national championship in 1984 under legendary head coach LaVell Edwards. That championship season helped BYU gain national recognition and established the program as one of the best in college football throughout the 1980s and early 1990s. BYU has also produced multiple NFL stars and Heisman Trophy winners, including quarterback Ty Detmer, who won the prestigious award in 1990.

BYU is known for its high-flying offenses and quarterback production, a reputation it has maintained for decades. Edwards' system revolutionized the passing game, helping to make BYU a consistently competitive program. Throughout its history, BYU has racked up more conference titles and bowl appearances than Baylor. The Cougars have claimed 23 conference championships, mainly in the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) and Mountain West Conference, along with multiple successful stints as an independent program.

While Baylor has seen significant success in more recent years, especially under former head coach Art Briles, its football history has been more inconsistent. Baylor’s rise in the 2010s was impressive, but BYU’s long-term success and national recognition give it the historical edge. From producing standout quarterbacks to consistent winning seasons, BYU’s football legacy is stronger and more established than Baylor’s.
