Cougar fans will talk about this game for years to come, and they’re already buzzing online about the magic they witnessed at LaVell Edwards Stadium. Here are some of the best reactions from social media.

You won’t see it play until 30 years from now and remember exactly where you were.

This is one of the wildest college football seasons in a while, perhaps on par with 2007, 1990 and 1984.

In 2007, BYU went undefeated in conference play.

In 1990, BYU had a Heisman-winning QB.

In 1984, BYU won an improbable victory…
