The Huskies and BYU resume their rivalry that began in 1984, when the teams finished in the top two in the national polls.
The Washington-Brigham Young football rivalry began a year before the teams had ever played against each other.
The competition after the 1984 season was settled by the media and the coaches.
At stake was a national title, when champions were decided by polls.
BYU was No. 1 entering the Holiday Bowl, which it won 24-17 over a mediocre Michigan team that finished 6-6. Even though the Cougars were undefeated, they did not have a win over a team that finished in the top 20.
