Boise State Wins Fiesta Bowl

Caught the end of the Fiesta Bowl, and by end I mean the last 37 points of the ballgame. Here's a blow by blow recap of one of the greatest finishes you could ever imagine.

1) I turn on the TV after hearing that Boise State is winning, eager to see the boys from the blue turf get their biggest win ever. Boise State proceeds to play like a small program, giving up 15 points in 3 and a half minutes, capped off by one of the worst interceptions you'll ever see.
2) Boise State has panicked it's way to a loss...until a hook and ladder on 4th and 18 with 7 seconds left leads to a TD and sends the game to OT.
3) The Boise State defense is officially MIA. Adrian Peterson runs for a TD on the first play of OT to put OK up by 7.
4.) Flying by the seat of their pants, Boise State opens up their playbook throwing trick play after trick play as they work their way towards the endzone. They score a TD on a play where the QB spread out to the left, a WR converted from QB takes the snap, runs right, then throws to the right corner for the TD.
5.) 2 OT? No! Boise State will go for 2 and the win. They run ANOTHER trick play. Three WRs to the right, none to the left. OK has seen the film. It's a flood right. The QB throws...no, it's a pump fake with a behind the back hand off to the running back, who goes in to the left side of the endzone untouched. Boise State wins!

It's a victory for the small schools and for proponents of a playoff. Go Broncos!
