On Sept. 10, 1983, Baylor and BYU met for the first time.
Led by head coach LaVell Edwards and a senior gunslinger named Steve Young, the Cougars marched into Floyd Casey Stadium and nearly knocked off Grant Teaff’s Bears. Young threw for 351 yards and a touchdown on 23 for 38 passing and tacked on 113 yards and two scores on the ground. But the eventual Heisman Trophy runner-up fell just short, losing 40-36.
It’s been four decades since that first matchup, and a lot has changed.
