Boise State Broncos

While I can talk about Football, I may as well brag about our Boise State Broncos. They were beat upon all season long by people who said they are a weak team, playing in a weak conference. All the while compiling a 12-0 regular season record. Beating everyone in their path. Well the BCS had to place them into a Bowl game since they were one of two undefeated teams in the Nation. They drew a spot in the Fiesta Bowl. Well it came down to a game where Oklahoma, a very prideful team, won the opportunity to play BSU. They were less than thrilled that they were not playing a regular contending Big Conference team, but instead said, " Now we get to play the Booby Prize."
Well come game day and all the critics were busting on the BCS even allowing BSU to play a powerhouse like Oklahoma. Telling everyone BSU may be able to keep it from becoming a blow out. BSU may keep it from being embarrassing.
When the Game kicked off, within 5 minutes BSU was up 14 to nothing after shutting them down. Even after giving them the Ball first. Then taking a Kick off away from them deep in their Territory and scoring off of it too. So much for BSU rolling over to the farrrr superior Oklahoma.
I will give Oklahoma credit for wearing BSU down in the second half and actually executing a game plan. In the last minute and a half of the game, Oklahoma scored and got 2 extra points to tie the game. BSU got the Ball back. Started the drive when the BSU Quarterback throws an interception first play, returned for a touchdown and Oklahoma is up by a touchdown. Everyone marches off the field and as wierd as it sounds, the only person who appears upset at that point is The Quarterback who just threw that interception. The rest of the Team is like OK, lets get this done. BSU gets the Ball again. Marches down the field and is facing a 4th down and 18. They pull off a Hook and Ladder play that scores a touchdown and get the extra point and the game is tied up again. They played for Overtime.
Oklahoma gets the Ball first and score a 25 yard Touchdown on the first play. Its BSUs turn with the ball. They take five plays before they have a 4th and 8. They run a halfback option play that sends not the Quaterback out, but the halfback out to throw the pass to the wide reciever. It Works! They score! BSU Coach Chris Peterson decides his defense is drained. They may not be able to stop Oklahoma again. They just scored with ease in one play last time they had the ball. He cant give it back to them. So he lines up for the two point conversion. They snap the ball and the Quarterback motions a fake pass right while the running back is taking the ball from his other hand and running the other way. The Statue of Liberty play! Are you kidding me? The third of 3 "trick plays" in less than 2 minutes? Against a Team that was supposed to mop the field with our team. And they beat them? Oh yeah! They beat em.

Go Broncos!
