You’ve got to be kidding me…
Did you see that game last night? Boise St. played Oklahoma in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl and it was incredible! Boise St., a huge underdog & BCS buster, beat Oklahoma 43-42 in OT to win the game. BSU’s coach had a lot of guts to call some of the plays that he called.
Check out the highlights here (not great quality… but it does the job).
UPDATE: After all of the buzz throughout the day today, I felt like I need to add a few more comments to this post. One of my partners today mentioned that if last night’s game was put into a movie (kind of like Remember the Titans or Invincible), it would be one of those dumb unrealistic movies. I mean…think about what happened:
- Underdogs go up by a lot
- “Bad guys” come back to tie after three tries to convert a 2-point conversion (only 1:30 to go in the game)
- Next play, the underdog throws an interception and the “bad guys” run it back for a TD — it looks like there is no hope for the underdogs to win
- Underdogs drive the length of field in :45 seconds by using the old-fashioned “hook-and-ladder” play (not to mention that it was run to perfection)
- Game goes into OT
- The stage is set again… “bad guys” score on the first play in OT when their star running back takes it in the end zone
- Underdogs use every trick play in the book to convert on 4th down and score a TD
- Coach decides to go for 2 to win the game
- Last play of the game ends on a trick “Statue-of-liberty” play where the underdogs win the game
- And finally… after the game, the star player for the underdogs proposes to the head cheerleader!
Too good to be true!
That had to be the best college football game I’ve ever seen. I watched it with my son and I was wanting Boise State to win and he was wanting Oklahoma, so it was a fun evening.
That was a great game. I only watched the highlights, but Boise State has put on some great performances over the last 3 years. This was one of the great ones.
I probably wouldn’t have watched that game, but my brother-in-law was watching pretty much every game that was on so I was lucky to catch the end of this game. It was amazing.
