Fiesta Bowl highlights

Unbelievable game. Per Fox Sports: "It'll go down as one of the best college football games in history. The Fiesta Bowl had it all, trickery, drama, failure, surprises and a win by the underdog." I have to admit this was an amazing game that deserves to be up there with last years' National Championship Rose Bowl between UT and USC.

A quick summary:

Boise St. dominates the first 40 minutes
OU comes back from an 18-pt deficit
Boise St. then rallies late twice, the final time following an interception returned for a TD
22 total points scored in the final 86 seconds.
Boise St. faces 4th and 18 in the final seconds, and scores a 50-yd "hook and ladder" TD to take it to OT!
Peterson scores a 25-yd TD on the first play in OT.
Boise St. then scores on 4th down on a trick play where the QB went in motion and the RB threw a TD to a lineman.
Boise St. then went for broke and goes for two, and ran a "Statue of Liberty" to perfection to win it!

See for yourself... check out the 4th quarter and OT highlights:

I agree with Kevin - this was a classic. This weekend Fox College Sports - Central will replay many of the Bowl games. I have not seen a schedule yet but you probably will have a chance to watch this great game again.

Go Broncos!!!
