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!
