I love Boise State this morning.For those who haven't seen it - last night's Fiesta Bowl - Boise State (12-0) vs. Oklahoma (11-3) - was the greatest football game ever played.
Boise State, a huge underdog coming into the game, took a 14-0 lead after the first 94 seconds - basically telling the Sooners, okay, we're for real, let's tango. OU comes back in the second half, ties up the game at 28-28, and with a minute to go in the game, they intercept a pass and take it in for the lead, 35-28. Everyone in the stadium is deflated...then with 14 seconds to go in the game, Boise comes back out and runs a 55-yard hook & ladder play - WR catches, starts cutting across the field, dishes to another WR running the opposite direction. Tie game, 35-35.
So that brings us to OT. Each team gets a shot at the endzone from the 25. OU unleashes The Freak, Adrian Peterson, who scores on a 25-yard TD run. Extra point: good. OU up 42-35. Boise comes out and runs a play on 4th and 2 - they put the QB in motion as a WR, and the RB throws the TD - making it 42-41. And instead of taking the chip shot, an automatic extra point to send it to 2OT...David finds the stone to slay Goliath:

It was by far the best football game I've ever seen, college, pro, or otherwise.
