Anybody watch that game last night?

It was a fun game to watch. Boise State definitely deserves a crack at Ohio.

Best game on this week!

At least one of the Bronco teams I cheer for won!

LOL and Michigan was the best team in the country next to Ohio State right?

haha

I would put Boise State going 6-6 at best in the Big 10 or the SEC if they had to play a full season of tough competition week in and week out.....

It was a GREAT game though.

As a graduate of the University of Wisconsin I regret the fact that the Badgers did not have the chance to play OSU due to the B10 (11) unbalanced schedule. Considering how we have pretty much owned OSU, especially in the "shoe", over the past 6 years I would have loved to see that game.

Sadly, for college football fans the University Presidents don't want to generate billions of dollars in additional revenue by creating a playoff series. It doesn't have to be big but it seems like there is at least one team each year that has a legitimate complaint about not having the chance to play for the title.

I only caught the Fiesta Bowl from the last two minutes in regulation til the end of the game. Wow! The hook-and-lateral play reminded me of my beloved Miami Dolphins (you know, back when we had a coach...Don Shula) when they were playing San Diego in the 1981 Divisional Playoffs ("The Epic in Miami"). The Statue of Liberty play for the two-point conversion was an absolute thing of beauty.

Just goes to show - you can plan for most things (OU probably prepared for two-point conversions all season), but you have to be able to adapt to the unknown.

Could Boise State beat Ohio State? Maybe it's the afterglow talking; but, I think if Boise State played OSU like they played OU, I believe they could win.

BTW, Penn State won yesterday. Life is good.

Another Lion fan-WOHOOO!

I give the Boise State kids credit for playing their hearts out and showing why college football is FUN to watch and FUN to play! Something the "professional" league seems to have abandoned since the late 70's. I also admire the Boise State coach for having the stones to call that play!

I missed the game, but I heard they ran the Statue of Liberty AND the Hook-and-Ladder in the same game. Gotta love that!
