The last five minutes of this football game were probably some of the best I have ever seen. Summary goes something like this:
Boise winning the entire game gives up a TD with about 2 minutes to go to tie the game (The whole country is thinking, crap, the underdog is going to blow it).
Compounding the pain, Boise QB Jared Zambransky throws an interception that is returned for a TD while trying to get his team into field goal range during regulation. Boise is now down by 7 with 1 minute to go.
Then the magic happens. 4 & 18 with 18 seconds to go. Boise runs the hook and ladder to perfection. Touchdown. We are going to OT. This play never even worked in my backyard, I cant believe it worked in the Fiesta bowl.
Boise wins the coin toss and elects to play D. Sooners get the ball. One play, one result. Adrian Peterson 25 yard TD. Pressure is back on Boise.
Boise makes it down to a 4th & Goal situation. What play will they run? How about a wide receiver pass from Vinny Perretta to Derek Schouman? TD.
Boise down by 1 but with momentum on their side elect to go for 2 and show the world they deserved a shot at Ohio St. Not content with the trick plays they have run so far Boise St runs a Statue of Liberty to Ian Johnson who takes it into the endzone with ease. Thats right, they won the game on the Statue of Liberty. Unreal!
Game over Boise wins 43-42.
But as if thats not enough trickery on the field, Ian Johnson then decides to propose to the head cheerleader while Chris Myers is interviewing him. Completely stunned (actually Chris Myers ruined the surprise) she accepts.
Not even Hollywood would jam that much drama and trickery into one film.
Truly awesome.
