Deseret News’ Dick Harmon and Lee Benson on the lasting legacy of BYU football's 1984 season
Description
Forty years ago, in 1984, Brigham Young University's football team was second to none. Against all odds, the Cougars finished the season undefeated and were named national champions after a series of big wins and nail-biting victories. This legacy of excellence continues decades later as BYU is having another winning season. Church News reporter Mary Richards interviews Deseret News sports columnist Dick Harmon and slice-of-life columnist Lee Benson on BYU football's incredible 1984 season and how the football program advances the mission of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
