I am still in shock. Did this game really happen? Did I think the broncos had a chance, yes. Did the Broncos almost lose the game is the final minutes of the game, yes. Did the broncos successfully complete three trick plays in the final seconds of the game, yes! Are you kidding me? For those of you who do not normally follow football, here's a quick note: trick plays rarely work and when they do you get one, not three at the end of a game. The hook-and-ladder, Zabransky in motion with a halfback pass to the tightend on 4th and 2., and the classic Statue of Liberty play all in a span of a few minutes. Simply unbelievable.13-0, undefeated...a perfect season. The Boise State Broncos have proven themselves and silenced all doubters. Oklahoma, the Big 12 Champion, was a legitimate football team with one of the nations best tailbacks in AD (all-day). OU's Adrian Peterson (AD), had 77 yards with two touchdowns (he had a 25 yard TD in overtime), while BSU's Ian Johnson, ran for 101 with one touchdown and one huge two-point conversion. The undersized All-American Ian Johnson gained over 1oo yards on the OU defense and the heralded runner-up for the 2004 Heisman Trophy was held to a mere 77 yards by the smothering BSU defense.
The resilent Broncos won the biggest game in BSU history, on ESPN, away from the Blue Turf, and against perennial powerhouse Oklahoma. This was a huge victory for the City of Boise, the BSU program, and the entire landscape of college football (play-off arguments anyone?). The Broncos are undefeated and no one can argue they do not belong. Boise State University, 2007 Fiesta Bowl Champions!
