==Preseason==<br />
[[Ty Detmer]] was entering his third year as a starter and a [[Heisman Trophy]] candidate. Head coach [[LaVell Edwards]] considered him so valuable that he was allowed to go through spring practice untouched. While Detmer and tight Chris Smith were projected to lead another high-flying BYU offense, Edwards was looking for improvement with the team's defense that had been embarrassed in the [[1989 Holiday Bowl|Holiday Bowl]] by [[1989 Penn State Nittany Lions football team|Penn State]], which had led him to pay a visit to the [[San Francisco 49ers]] in the offseason. Even with their defensive deficiencies, BYU was considered a Top 20 squad and expected to once again to win the [[Western Athletic Conference|WAC]].<ref>''Sports Illustrated''. 3 Sept 1990.</ref><br />
