      Yeah it worked so good because the lateraling receiver sold the inside move first and killed any chance of any defender popping back outside quick because they all had momentum going back toward the center of the field, when it was tossed to a sprinter already at at top speed headed toward the sideline.

      The foundation for the college football playoff was when Oklahoma State was left out of the BCS Championship when they had a stronger resume than Alabama, who lost previously to LSU. OSU got jobbed bad, probably the worst I have ever seen by the powers that be in the football college world. They put LSU and Alabama in a rematch that nobody wanted to see, and a lot of people didn't watch it. Not too long afterward a college football playoff was implemented.

    • @obi-wankenobi4884
      @obi-wankenobi4884 5 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      Alex Adair Alabama lost against LSU who was #1 in the nation by only 3 points. Oklahoma State lost to Iowa State in overtime.

    • @alexadair5871
      @alexadair5871 5 ปีที่แล้ว +31

      Oklahoma State had a stronger resume, with the team's they beat that year. Most of Alabama's wins did not compare to Oklahoma States wins. NICK Saban got on National t.v. and campaigned to get into the Championship game. College football is all about money, and OSU is not a blueblood program, so they got jobbed and they got jobbed bad.

    • @obi-wankenobi4884
      @obi-wankenobi4884 5 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      Alex Adair Actually, Alabama's wins DID compare to Oklahoma State's wins. Oklahoma State had a close one point win vs #8 Texas A&M, a 38-26 point win vs #22 Texas, a close 52-45 point win vs #17 Kansas State, and a huge 44-10 blowout win vs Oklahoma in the Big 12 Championship. Every ranked team Oklahoma State played in the regular season they struggled with. However, Alabama had a 27-11 point win vs #23 ranked Penn State, a 38-14 point win vs #14 Arkansas, and a big 38-10 point win vs #12 Florida. Alabama's wins were on par with Oklahoma State's. Yet again, you can't only pay attention to the wins. Your losses count as well. Oklahoma State lost 37-31 against unranked Iowa State in overtime. Alabama lost 9-6 (only a 3 point loss) against LSU who was ranked the #1 team in the nation. The only thing separating Oklahoma State and Alabama was that Oklahoma State had a chance to play in a Conference Championship while Alabama did not. In the Big 12 the two highest ranked teams in the conference play in the Conference Championship. In the SEC if you lose in your division you don't get a chance to play in your Conference Championship despite being the 2nd highest ranked team in your conference. Plus, Alabama was the #1 team in the nation anyways. They blew out LSU 21-0 and held all but one of their opponents below 20 points. They averaged 8.8 points allowed per game, averaged 74.9 rushing yards allowed per game, averaged 116.4 passing yards allowed per game, and averaged a total of 191.3 yards allowed per game with a total of 13 interceptions that year. This defense only allowed nine touchdowns that year and only 18 points were scored on this defense in the 4th quarter all year as well. They didn't even allow LSU to pass the 50 yard line until late in the 4th quarter. I can go all day with you of why Alabama deserved to play LSU in the BCS National Championship.

      2. Boise State: They were really good under Chris Petersen. But NCAA was unfair most during most of his tenure. After scandal in the BSU Women's Tennis team and a very minor scandal in football (student athletes provided fellow recruits with meals and beds while visiting campus) the NCAA gave BSU probation for 3 yrs. With Petersen leaving 2 yrs later, it harmed them.

    I was in Vegas when this game happened in the poker room at South Point. The sports book was right next door and I swear from the fourth quarter on was the loudest crowd I’ve ever heard. Literal fortunes won and lost on every play.
    When they were setting up for the Statue of Liberty play, all action in the room stopped. Eight tables full of gamblers just stopped and watched. When BSU scored, the roar from the sports book shook the walls. Absolute pandemonium.
    Just thinking back to it gives me chills. Such an amazing atmosphere to be a part of and what a hell of a football game!

  • @hugman60
    @hugman60 5 ปีที่แล้ว +48

    Hard to believe that this game was 11 years ago. No one gave Boise State a chance. I did not think that they could beat Oklahoma. But I was rooting for the Broncos that night. When BSU scored the two point conversion in OT to win, I was happy to see a supposed "David" beat the supposed "Goliath." Have been a Clemson fan since 1977. This year's team is very good. But the 1981, who was very good, was given no chance of beating Nebraska in the Orange Bowl. Especially since that the Cornhuskers played in the Big Eight in those days. Clemson was in 1981, that weak ACC. But the Tigers in 1981, as the Broncos in 2007, showed they were much better teams that anyone thought that they were. This was why I rooted for Boise State in this game. I can remember a team that I liked who was given no chance. Thank you for sharing this video. It shows that anyone or any group can accomplish anything, as long as they believe in themselves and work hard for that goal. Take Care.

We should have been ranked number one at the end of that season as we were the only team in all of NCAA football that was undefeated... in the BCS era and being in the WAC... how about that?!! Crazy!!! I guess being ranked number 2 at the end of the season behind a 2 loss Ohio State really wasn't too bad. Truly one of the greatest football games ever! A real Cinderella story, especially with Ian proposing to Chrissy at the end of the game!! GO BRONCOS!!!!💙🧡🐴🏈

    I accidentally watched this game as it followed, I believe, the orange bowl? that I had just watched. I reluctantly watched figuring it would be over quickly. "I'll turn it off once the score gets out of hand". I was quickly glued to my seat. Back and forth. Boise State wouldn't let up and Oklahoma kept chipping away. It was like a great prize fight. I can still remember standing up, shocked, at the hook and ladder play. Then again for the statue of liberty 2 point conversion play. A team I had barely heard of had me literally on the edge of my seat. I still can't believe it. It was honestly one of the best games I've ever seen and I'm not a fan of either team so I'm speaking purely from gamesmanship.

      I missed watching this game live, can someone tell me why Adrian Peterson didn't get 40 carries? That OU QB sucked, and these highlights showed #23 Stewart getting a lot of carries. Maybe these highlights just missed a bunch of AP carries? Or was he playing through injury? Just curious because he seemed to have a very little impact aside from the TD run

  • @richardnixon4219
    @richardnixon4219 6 ปีที่แล้ว +174

    One thing I've always wondered about this game, that if Marcus Walker had run out of bounds on his pick six at the 1 or so, they could've kneed twice, used both of Boise State's timeouts, and could've kicked a field goal with only 20 seconds or so left. I guess you always want to take the sure points, but still, something to think about.

    • @tomatoface12

    It seems like all huge upsets follow close to the same formula. The underdog hits the favorite in the mouth early on, putting the favorites on notice who respond with a punch that makes it seem like all is well and the contest will end up as planned. Then just when it seems like the Goliath will finally step on David's throat, the underdogs find one last push to be victorious.

    I think this is the absolute best game of college football of my life. I'm 25 and a bama fan. But this game is always #1 to me with the Texas vs USC Rose Bowl a very close 2nd.
