Ty Detmer Enjoying Role as BYU OC

After winning the college football’s most prestigious award, the Heisman Trophy, setting 59 NCAA records, and playing 14 years in the NFL, Ty Detmer returns to BYU to construct and direct an offense based on the knowledge he’s accumulated from years of studying football at all levels as a player and coach.

While at BYU, Ty Detmer passed for 5,188 yards and 41 touchdowns in 1990, finishing the year with 42 NCAA records and tying five others en route to winning the Heisman Trophy. The knowhow that helped Detmer back in 1990 achieve one of the greatest seasons for a quarterback in college football history is now being transferring to a new crop of BYU quarterbacks.
