records and finished ninth in the Heisman ballot
ing
He completed 235 of 362 passes for 4,560 yards
and 32 touchdowns. He led the NCAA in passing
efficiency with a 175.6 rating, the second-best
mark ever, and perhaps the most amazing thing
was that he threw for more than 300 yards in ev
ery game.
Detmer has been even better this season, com
pleting 68.6 percent of his passes for 1.755 yards
and 12 touchdowns in only four games, includ
ing the big win over Miami where he was 36 of
54 for 406 yards and three scores.
While Edwards acknowledges that all the quar
terbacks he's had are different. Detmer does the
same great things that his predecessors did.
"They all have strengths and the way they do
things." Edwards explained. “I think they have
all had that decision making ability. It's a thing
that's important in all of them."
And Edwards is not reluctant to compare
Detmer to all the rest.
"Ty Detmer is as good an on the field leader as
well as on the field player as we've ever had." he
said.
That was evident in the game with Miami
when Detmer suffered a gash underneath his chin
that had to be taped up and patched together iust
so he could play. On two touchdowns he avoided
sacks to get the ball into the end zone.
Oregon Coach Rich Brooks, whose team has to
face BYU Saturday at Autzen Stadium, said it's
Detmer's competitiveness that stands out when
sizing him up
"He's one of the toughest quarterbacks I've
Men," he said. "The Miami game, when he had
his chin split open, and he just comes right back
He looks like he enjoys playing the game so much
and he's such a competitor that If something goes
wrong it doesn't bother him. He comes right back
and makes something good happen."
Detmer enjoys the game so much he doesn't
mind the attention he gets in Provo tfnd likes be
ing accessible to the fans
"That's the fun part of playing college foot
ball." he said. "You're in a college town and ev
erybody knows you and 1 don't mind people com
ing up to me and asking for an autograph or talk
ing about a game.
"They're the fans.” Detmer said, "and the ones
you're playing for. I appreciate the support and
everything, so l don't have any problems with
it."
The Heisman is also in the back of Detmer's
mind, but he would rather win foi* the school's
sake than his own.
"They've certainly had some great quarter
backs here who probably deserved it as much as
anyone." Detmer said "Things just didn't work
out for them. I'm not going to put all my marbles
into the Heisman Trophy.
"That'll come after the year is over." he added.
"I can’t worry about that while I'm out playing
right now."
But right now may bo the time BYU has its Ty
to the Heisman.
