I remember as a kid, not being able to watch the last play. I had to go out to the garage and listen for the cheers or sighs from my family while I was out there. I still regret not watching it live but i literally couldn’t watch lol. What a good game.
Through a random turn of events, I was in the Crimson Club above the north end zone. It may not be exaggerating to say nobody had a better view of the last play. It was my highlight as a BYU fan.
I was 10 years old and watching at my friend’s grandma’s house. I only remember the absolute thrill of watching that last play. Still to this day gives me chills.
I still remember driving around Idaho falls listening to this game on the radio because we couldn’t afford cable at the time. I still remember the touchdown call and screaming are heads off!
That 2006 team was one of the best ever. Really impressive for that season to end as it did especially after the disappointing start. In some ways those 2006-2009 years were the best the program had seen since the 1980s.
Big matchup this Sat vs Utah Utes at 7:30PM pst in Salt Lake! Y's opponents so far have been cupcakes and its Defense has given up 157 points compared to an avg among its ranked neighbors 83 avg points. Someone that has the hots for the Y ranked them #9 because they won against then-ranked #13 Kansas State. After Utah this Sat they finish the reg season vs unranked cupcakes KU, ASU & HOU. Time will tell
I told you. Yes. I get to say this. I told you so. This is what I said 6 days ago on a youtube video. I even predicted BYU winning with a score of 38-21. Pretty darn close. Dang it. I wish I would have bet on this. "Vegas & others still don't get BYU's defense this year. The only ones giving Y's defense respect are opposing coaches. BYU's defense is a pro-defense this year. Believe me. They're legit. They're for real! Y's defense is why they are 7-0. People don't get it. Y's defense has shut down each opponent this year. And they've faced some of the best offenses. They've exposed opponent's offensive weaknesses and exploited them. Y's defense makes opponent's offenses make mistakes. And what's more? Y's defense fuels, pumps up their offense. Y's defensive backs, secondary shuts down receivers, which then gives time for the down 4 guys and linebackers to stop the run, pressure, and sack the qb. They showed this well with K-State. And when Y's defensive front and linebackers pressure qb's, they make mistakes, throw picks. And when Y's defense pressures the qb, it's over. Y's defensive secondary are ball hawks. BYU has already seen UCF already this year. How? They saw them in K-State, in Baylor, in OK State, and in AZ. Yes, Iowa St. barely beat UCF. But BYU this year is no Iowa St. Why? Because of Y's defense. BYU UCF game is gonna be like K-State and Baylor. This may even be another route for BYU. Why? The inexperience of UCF QB. He's young and inexperienced. And when Hill throws his pro defensive schemes at UCF, their QB is gonna make mistakes and throw picks, just like K-State QB did. All BYU has to worry about with UCF is stopping the run. Because UCF QB can't throw. He's not proven he can throw. That's how they lost against Iowa St. This is why this might be another route for BYU. Yes, even though it's in Orlando and historically BYU has not fared well east of the Mississippi. Not this year. Why? Again, I keep saying this. Y's DEFENSE! Plus their veterans, very experienced, and play for each other. Chemistry! Away games do not matter to BYU this year. No one wants to play the Cougs this year because they're real, they're legit, they're scary, and they ARE DANGEROUS! Especially their DEFENSE! What's the score for this game. 38-21, BYU wins. UCF will not be able to score enough points. Why? You guessed it. BYU'S DEFENSE. This is a magical season for the COUGS! Yes, I'm an alum, '02. But, this has been an objective analysis. Pundits and voters, start giving BYU the respect they have already deserved and earned. They will be 8-0 after Saturday's game in Orlando."

It was monumental and hopefully you've been able to relive it again and again.
This is the season that made me a BYU fan. It is still my favorite season and this is still my favorite game. Go Cougs! 🤙🏻
Your family is the biggest of BYU fans.

I was right in front of you and almost got on the pile up in celebration.
That is awesome!!

Are you my brother?? Literally same story. Couldn’t afford cable. Driving around Idaho Falls after visiting family. Crazy

We all screamed our heads off including Greg Wrubell.

Great game. It was sure fun to be there
One of the great plays of all time. How did Harline get himself open?
I was four when this play happened. I wish I remember it haha
Never gets old…
I wish they would have kicked the extra point so the score would be "34-31". That would have been so poetic.
For sure!

SMU and Kansas State aren't cupcakes. Nobody's a cupcake to Utah. Really thought u had a chance to beat Houston but the U sucks.

No question, defence wins games. But a good comeback brings the excitement and finding ways to win is something special and will prove itself.
