The Brigham Young Cougars have a reputation of being one of the best offensive teams in the nation. The Cougars' offensive prowess has been rooted in a proficient aerial attack. The best BYU offenses, however, have had a little different flavor.
The 1983 BYU offense averaged 44.0 points per game. That comes in as third best in BYU history, and was second best in the nation. The 2001 BYU offense averaged 542.8 yards per game. That figure is, coincidentally, the third best in BYU history, but the Cougars were first in the nation that year.
The 1980 BYU offense led by Jim McMahon scored the second most points per game in BYU history with 46.7 (ranked first nationally). The 1990 BYU offense led by Ty Detmer averaged the second most total yards per game in BYU history with 565.8 (ranked second nationally).
Young and Doman were seniors in 1983 and 2001, respectively.
