I went to bed at half time thinking that Boise State had this game in the bag but couldn't sleep...got up and watched the final 4 minutes and I think it was the most exciting few minutes of football I've ever watched...change of scores, trick plays...winning on a 2 point conversion.
Anyone else watch this game?
This was an exciting game. Maybe the most fun game I ever watch and I started to cheer for Boise State. They finish the year 12-0 --- this is awesome.
They started to play conservative in the second half but in the last 4 minutes we seen all of their offensive plays.... WOW....
Wow, sounds like I missed the best part. Once that INT was returned for a TD I turned to something else. Stupid on my part, good on Boise State. Wish I had watched to the end.
One of the best games ever. Tied with 1:26 to go then the interception and the td then the touchdown with a few seconds left on a trick play. It was truly awesome.
First the hook and ladder to tie in regulation, then the good old statue of liberty play for the winning two point convert. Awesome game, fun to watch.
I literally jumped off the couch and yelled at the guy who caught the lateral to run as fast as he could to get to the end zone, which tied the game.
Then I got chills when all I saw was daylight when Johnson took the behind-the-back handoff and ran unimpeded into the endzone, winning the game.
Two things: good points by the commentators when Boise State was winning the game (think it was 28-20) that they hadn't used any trick plays or misdirection, they were simply beating Oklahoma at their own game (physical play, grind-it-out football). Ironic that the trick plays won them the game.
And...is there anything that makes an amazing finish even better, than a great call by a commentator? I just think that it finishes it off so well. Great call last night...now the worst guy ever, hands down is Bryant Gumbel. Imagine if he had called that game last night!! :thumbsdow
That was probably the best 5 minutes of football i have ever seen..what a finish..
If you missed it or want to see it again...here is a link to the video highlights of the game. I haven't checked them out since my computer is too slow :(
