In my opinion, this is one of the top 2 or top 3 games ever played! What game would you like to see remembered next?
Harris Highlights Alabama at Auburn 2013! (The game of the kick 6).
Harris Highlights I would like to see osu Miami 2002
Harris Highlights oregon vs tcu in the alamo bowl even tho that game pissed me off lol
I would agree, with only texas vs usc being a better game.
As for another throwback, what about TCU vs Wisconsin Rose Bowl?
MSU VS OHIO STATE
MSU VS MICHIGAN
The hook and lateral was run to ABSOLUTE perfection.
schumi246 yes.. GLORIOUS
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.
Stoops arm is still twiching to this day!
I have always called it the "hook and ladder play" Lateral makes much more sense.
@@dbacksfan09 that's because the play is called hook and ladder.
Announcer ( 14:54 ): I've seen it all, now.
Boise State: Hold our beers and watch this.
This game was one of the foundations for creating a playoff 8 years later
Austin and yet people argue the same thing happened this year so did it help anything?
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.
Alex Adair Alabama lost against LSU who was #1 in the nation by only 3 points. Oklahoma State lost to Iowa State in overtime.
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.
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.
As a Sooner fan I’ve got huge respect for this game and the Broncos. The odds of what they pulled off with the hook and ladder, 4 and 2 conversion TD and Statue of Liberty…damn it was beautiful!
The Hook n' Lateral on 4th & 18 with :15 sec. In the 4th qtr. & The Statue of Liberty 2pt. Conversion in overtime to win the game, are two of the most gutsiest calls ever in the history of CFB! #WellCoached #WellPlayed
I was losing it over those calls
I’m with you man!
Peterson for President 2020!!
@DavidH22
I know right...20 minutes of highlights and he leaves that out lol
Those aren’t “gutsy” calls. They were very smart calls.
I watched this game on the floor of a sweltering squad bay on a portable DVD player in the middle of Iraq. I had no stake in the game, but our Corpsman was from Boise and his parents sent him the game on DVD so he could watch it. Didn’t get to watch it live due to, you know, a war. It was late and we had just gotten off patrol. Glad I made the decision to watch it. Great game and an experience I’ll never forget.
I remember watching this game. One of the greatest games I've ever seen.
Insane Anime Gamer I do too. But I had forgotten about the late pick six that setup that hook and ladder play. I remember the Statue of Liberty! Being a Texas fan, their Rose Bowl Win in 2017 w Vince Young is #1 ever NCAA game for me. OU-BSU game will always be #2. The fact that it was at the expense of OU is the icing on the cake!!! So beautiful!
My son was watching it on television and turned it off in disgust when BSU was intercepted late for a pick-six, figuring all was lost. Then he goes to work the next day and everybody was talking all excited about the game!! He learned right then that it ain't over 'till it's over!
Me too. And just because BS is stuck out in a small state doesn't mean they don't know how to play football.
@@sarahhaugh7922 shame. Never give up
Same
I'm going to be really honest with you, I never cared or knew anything about football until I watched the BSU victory. From then on I started watching and learning about it.
Yep that game was crazy! Now you have football in your veins. Now that is cool!
It was a single HS game back in 85 that got me interested in the game. My HS , Chamberlain HS in Tampa, Fla was down 28-0 at HT, and came back to win the game 45-35 under the direction of a QB lots of football fans have heard of...Jay Gruden. Younger brother of John Gruden...Current HC of the Oakland Raiders.
That was me, except with the Giants beating the Pats in the Super Bowl
Acerr's Page jay gruden is head coach of the redskins now
J W man this win was so big, and they followed it up. It put them on the map and so I went to Boise state
I’m a Georgia Bulldog, full stop. But I will say this has been my favorite game of all time for years. Our game against Oklahoma was pretty good, but I can’t say better, it’s close though. Great job to that coach, Zybransky, and all the Boise State family for great memories!!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Who remembers when the Boise state rb proposed to his gf the cheerleader after his td
Bryan Aliping after this game ian Johnson came to my school with his fiance because her little brother went go my school. It was at a pep assembly . Anyways this was at lowel Scott middle school. Good times
Bryan Aliping I did I want to meet him so much
Henry TD Baroli King 44 17 baroli he has an Escalade and his license plate is “Boise state 41” and you’ll see him drive around Boise every now and then
I do....but, I also don't remeber many OU comments here. I talk when my team loses or wins. (I'm a Longhorn Fan)
@@HenryTDBaroliKingbaroli-kx9oh He's a really nice guy, and his wife is super nice as well. He's in insurance now. They used to live in the same apartment complex as my older brother.
As a Fresno State fan and rival of Boise State, I couldn't have been happier for the Broncos on that night.
Same here from a Pack Fan!
Same as a La Tech fan. WAC forever
As a bsu fan thanks for that support if u ask us we new we'd beat the sooners especially as a husker fan on the side ;)
Same here, as a Badger fan. I’ve always hate OU
Same here from a Hawaii fan!!
That lateral might be the smoothest play in sports history. Didn’t even hesitate.
Chris Petersen what a coach
Yup, so damn glad we landed him here in Seattle (UW)
One of the best coaches in CFB
ScoDucks2019
Cristobal is a joke. Oregon as a program in general is a giant joke. They haven’t won absolutely anything and every time they have a chance at a title they blow it. Choke masters.
Domonic Decoco so are the huskies
ScoDucks2019
Look at the level of competition Washington has played in those bowl games. They stayed very competitive with Auburn in a one score game, and didn’t let Bama run all over them like everyone thought they would. The last bowl game they lost was a 5 point game to Ohio State. When Oregon played Ohio State in a high stakes game they were blown off the field.
I'm glad he went to the huskies. So the ducks can finally beat him. We could never beat bosise state. But we beat Washington the last 12 out of 15 years. Or something close to that.
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!
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.
Texas vs USC Rose Bowl is one of the greatest games ever...
But this one is it for me. This is what college football is about. Underdogs. Small college towns. Huge moments, trick plays, down to the wire. You couldn't write a script that would capture the emotions of this game.
I still remember watching this game and all the laughing "wtf" moments. I'm not a fan of either team, but like most people, tend to root for the underdog (at least in college sports). Great effort by both teams.
It’s games like this that define College Football! This is why we love this sport 🔥🏈
💥💣💥💣💥💣💥
#30for30 This was one of the best games ever played. The Statue of Liberty is the best trick play of all time....when run correctly
The irony is that now that we actually have a playoff, it's almost impossible for a G5 team to get into it.
There were two G5 teams who were CFP quality;
1. TCU: they got snubbed from CFP spot 1 yr by OSU plus their recruiting was negatively affected by switching conference.
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.
Vulcan Raven TCU was not G5, they were in the B12
@@spencerinman5254 I know, but I was saying that TCU had only been in B12 a year or two when they got snubbed from CFP. But most of their great recruits were in the Mountain West Conference. The move to G5 made them get progressively worse
@@spencerinman5254 and still TCU didn't get in. Sure Ohio State won the natty at the end of it all. But damn it if Ohio State can do then why can't not TCU!
Cincinnati now has the chance to to show what a G5 team can do
This was one of the greatest football videos I have ever seen. Amazing work man.
Yes it is. And an OUTSTANDING choice of background music, too.
Born and raised in Boise and let me tell you.... this still may be the greatest day in our city's history
Shit I’m a notre dame fan and this is the best game in history ever. This is like a legit movie, he even got engaged at the end
Man this was one of the toughest games I've lived through as an OU fan.
Hey Cole I'm a BSU fan big time, but OU is a Power House of a team and that is why this game is a classic! All respect for OU!
I cannot imagine
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
Jacob Taylor It was his first game back from a broken collar bone.
The OU QB was also converted to QB 2 weeks before the season started. It was a very rough season with injuries on both sides of the ball. They were lucky to win as many games as they did.
The best games ever played in college football you can count on one hand. This is one of them. What a battle. Unbelievable!
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.
In that situation, as you said, you always take the points. Kickers choke all the time, as Boise State knows.
perfectlemonade yea I know. Just one of those "what if" things.
Yeah. Kellen Moore was 50-3 as the Boise State QB. Two of those losses he gave the kicker very makeable field goal position in the final play of the game. In the Nevada game, an otherwise reliable kicker missed TWO kicks!
@Kurt Amesbury Probably one of the single worst games for Boise State to lose ever in recent history. They were on their way to a possible championship game that year.
"People always score too quickly...."
Story of my life, Omar...lol
This game was such a great game...no my bad it was a LEGENDARY GAME!!! Being a college football fan and watching was so incredible it was like watching history happen in front of you're eyes and if they don't win it wouldn't even be a story. Fans forget that the year earlier it was TEXAS VS USC in the title game and every football fans remembers how that game went.
No question a top 5 game of all time. great video boss!
Thanks brotha!
oh my god it doesn't matter how many times I see this game I still get CHILLS during that hook and ladder. words can't describe how (1) desperately sad/anxious a young Boise State fan was in that moment and (2) how shocking and perfectly executed that play was. funny thing was that the game and the anxiety were far from over, but I can still remember jumping up and putting my hand through my ceiling fan like it was yesterday!
Greatest game in the history of college football. Truly unreal. Boise st was so good back in those days. Shame they never got respect from the committee. They were even better a few years after this with Kellen Moore and I remember they only got 1 NY6 bowl with Moore despite being so amazingly good. So sad
That hook and ladder play on 4th and 18!! 😍😍😍
I was so glad i decided to stay up that night to watch this game. One of the most fun bowl games I've ever seen that didn't involve my school. Hell of a game.
i've watched the lateral and game-winner at least 100 times. amazing.
man how did Boise walk on the field with the balls that last play took
It's what us people who go to BSU learn to do. Succeed in whatever means necessary
The risk they took was calculated. Fortunately, they were pretty good at math.
Man, this still hurts as an OU fan. I remember crying so hard that night (I was 7, mind you).
Great game though, even if it was a humiliating loss for OU.
I was the same age & I cried too 😂😂😂😂😂 I’ll never forget that
I get it. I was 10 or 11 when Kansas lost to Penn State in the Orange Bowl, and nobody but Kansas thought that the Hawks had a chance against the Nittany Lions. KU had the lead late in the game, when Penn State scored to pull within 1. They went for two, and failed...except that KU had 12 men on the field! Penn State got a do over and converted, winning by 1.
I cried for DAYS. It seemed like my life was over!🤣
The Sooners broke my heart this night. I remember this remarkable game. Much respect to the Boise State Broncos
one of my most favorite college games ever... AP is still the man... but I watched this game when it happened and it proves miracles do happen.
You don't even know Petersons actual nickname. How is that possible that people still call him AP.
The city of Boise was crazy that night. Ill never forget this day. All the hype leading up to this game that an under dog team from Idaho couldn't run with a big dog like Oklahoma. Winning that game was the best feeling ever. This game is up there with the best football games ever played.
I’m a Texas fan but this is probably my favorite game of all time, back when bowl games mattered. Too bad I wasn’t alive to watch it
you young asl
@@SASBurner was born 7 months later
Great highlight of one of my favorite games of all time. Thanks for putting this together.
My team was in the WAC so I was well aware of who Boise State was, and I knew they could hang with OU. Then...I didn't watch this game. I'm still kicking myself!
One of The Best If Not The Best Bowl Games EVER Such a Classic Game in My Mind!
Best game I've ever seen and I have no affiliation with either
@john platko Agreed I Thought Oklahoma Was Done After The Broncos Were Winning Big!
@@vinceniederman3235 Same. And when there was the pick 6 at the end...ahh. 4th down and long. The lows were real
My sister was about 2 years old, and I remember everyone in the house being asleep... I was watching in my room and when the hook and ladder happened I jumped out of my bed and let out a shout of excitement... Woke everyone up, so my parents made me responsible for getting my sister back to sleep. So I was there in my room, just got her to sleep when boise did the rb pass for the td, and woke everyone up again... Lol... Then the statue of liberty was just icing on the cake, everyone was just settling back to bed and and not less than 2 minutes a later I woke everyone up again... Yeah it was an exciting game, if not the most exciting game to watch ever.
As a Sooner this was a fantastic game. I tip my hat to this team. They should have genuinely played for a National Title
I loved watching this game live as well as this reply, Seeing Boise pull off every staple trick play in one game was amazing. OU had no answers for the trickeration!
I'm still waiting on the 30 for 30 entitled Statue of Liberty to air.
This was a game for the ages. Boise State was on fire!
Thank you so much for this video! This game is what made me fall in love with college football.
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.
loved this game so much that i actually rented the video of it a couple of years later. truly one of the most wild, crazy, roller-coaster rides of a game ever.
I live in Boise and watched the game I also was one of the thousands of boisians that turned the channel just before the end of the game missing the end until I heard my neighbors running out in the street screaming "they won they won!!!!!" I quickly turned it back to see the replay.😂
YOU THINK THAT WAS BAD, MY OLDEST BROTHER AND HIS WIFE DROVE THE WHOLE WAY DOWN, WATCHED THE GAME, LEFT WHEN THE PIC HAPPENED, WAS IN THE PARKING LOT WHEN HE HEARD A BUNCH OF SCREAMING: BOISE STATE WON! IT WAS EPIC! I STAYED AT HOME IN MERIDIAN AND WATCHED THE BEST COLLEGE BALL GAME OF MY LIFE. "THE LITTLE ENGINE THAT COULD"......AND THEY DID!
My favorite game of all time! Thank you for this!
Thanks for watching!
Same
I remembered in 12 years ago while watching at busters restaurant. But so sadly I moved south to Prescott Valley, AZ to be closer to my mother's in 2 years ago. In future, when my mother passed away, I will sell my house then move back to Meridian, Idaho to start over again and enjoy a good life up there. Thanks for knowing a lot of me.
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.
Bay is Bae That's just great games in general. It usually starts with one team dominating for like a quarter or a half, then the losing team comes back, and they go back and forth and some game winner or big play happens and its over in the final seconds.
I was there as a Boise State fan when I was ten years old. My dad had been the announcer on TV for the Boise State games aired locally. This game taught me life lessons about being an underdog.
I'm a USC fan, but this is one of my favorite games of all time...I was born In Oklahoma, de facto OU fan. Great win by Boise State. That game was absolutely awesome. Now don't play Texas vs. my USC Trojans.
That's what OU said at one time!
I have wanted Boise State to play Texas and any PAC - 12 team. So far Boise has played Washington, Washington State, Oregon, Oregon State, Arizona and Arizona State. Hope they get a crack at the others ....and Texas. Hookem Horns!
@@adventuresnorthwest3643 Boise State against Texas. That would be an awesome game. I would love to see the long horns on the blue or even USC. That would be some picture.
@@hectorhernandez9892
Yes Sir!
@@hectorhernandez9892
I lived in San Antonio for a year and have been following the Longhorns ever since even though I am a big Boise State fan. I was really impressed with Texas last year. Looking forward to seeing what they will do this year.
I was a kid in boise when this happened, and it was one of the most amazing experiences I’ve had, went to downtown that night and people out partying the streets were crowded it felt like the whole city was behind that team.
Thank you so much for the video! Please keep making a game to remember videos!
Boise was so cool. The statue of liberty play was the one that did it for me. I remember seeing that play. I heard about it but I never saw it done in a game.
NUMBER ONE GAME OF MY 54 YEARS OF LIFE.....BY FAR THE BEST!
This is why we love college football
I remember well watching this game live and thinking that it was the greatest football game I had ever seen. Looking back on it I still feel like it was the single greatest game ever. Also, the statue of liberty play at the end is easily my favorite playcalling ever!
Me to but Super Bowl 51 took that title in my eyes.. 😅
The 1999 d2 national title game. Went to 4 overtimes
one of the greatest games in cfb for sure, from a hawaii fan
It's an older game, but you should do BYU vs SMU 1980 Holiday Bowl. One of the best comebacks in bowl history.
Holiday Bowl Holiday Bowl.....huh really nah!
Hector Hernandez this was in 1980... when going to a Bowl game meant something and there weren’t 80 of them. 1980 holiday bowl is a classic.
Hey Nice pic 😀
@@hectorhernandez9892 Some of the most entertaining bowl games in the 70s and 80s were played in the Holiday Bowl. Especially when one of the participants was BYU and the Cougars threw the ball all over the yard.
@@johnnyt1866 Holiday Bowl really lol. We are talking Fiesta Bowl man! Who hangs up a banner of the Holiday Bowl wow....
That 4th and 18 lateral was pure perfection!
This is the best college football game of all time. No game will come close to the last 2 minutes (+OT) of this game
I’m so lucky to have seen this game and now just saw the 2022 Fiesta Bowl TCU beating Michigan yesterday.
This game set the tone for University of Phoenix Stadium being home to some of the most incredible football of the 20th century. Between this, Super Bowl XLII which was play a year and a month later, the often forgotten Eagles/Cardinals NFC Championship game in January 2009, the Packers/Cardinals divisional playoff game with Rodger's Hail Mary and Fitz's catch and run, and of course, Super Bowl LI and the Butler INT at the end...what other building has come close to the insanity that stadium has had so far in the last dozen years?
Manu Ginobilis Bald Spot FYI it’s the 21st century
You forgot the wild card Packers vs Cardinals in january 2010 and the first battle between Alabama and Clemson. And since your comment we had a Sunday night tie betaeen the Cardinals and Seahawks and Hail Murray.
I swear, there's like at least one per year or more
That fucking hook and ladder play is still one of the greatest fucking plays I have ever seen. I remember watching this game live and I can remember everyone in the room saying the game was over when Zabranski threw that pick 6 with a minute left, and everyone saying that it was still an impressive season for Boise, but they never stood a chance against a "powerhouse" team like the Sooners, lol. The few people who were still actually paying attention to the game knew that if there's still time in the clock then anything can happen, but even I thought the Broncos were done when it was 4th and 18 with 18 seconds left, but then they executed one of Football's most majestic looking plays in history, lol. Seriously, every offensive player on the field executed that play to absolute perfection and the result was one of Football's (college or pro) most impressive and beautiful plays ever. When you watch the replay and see it in slow motion, the receiver who caught the lateral and scored fooled everyone on defense, appearing to be set up for a WR screen and delaying for a brief second after the snap while Zabranski used his eyes to make the D think a screen was coming, then turned and threw the ball right in the perfect spot of the Sooners zone S causing all 3 defenders to commit to trying to tackle the initial receiver, giving the other receiver plenty of room and the perfect angle to take the lateral and speed past the 3 defenders who committed to the first WR because they were all 3 completely caught off guard and out of position to tackle the player who took the lateral at full speed with an angle to the corner of the end zone. There have been countless classic plays in college football history, and countless classic overall games, but this game ranks in the top 3 greatest games in football history. It was just a perfect storm to create an amazing and all time great game. If course there was the "David vs. Goliath" that the media hyped up for weeks after the bowl games were set, with a smaller school from a smaller conference going up against one of the most storied schools ever. I have always fucking hated the notion that just because a school is in a conference that is considered a power conference and has a history of being a top program like Oklahoma then a school from a conference considered inferior like Boise state that they don't stand a chance. Nobody gave Boise a half of a chance of winning this game simply because they weren't a big 10 or SEC or ACC team, which is retarded imo. Any team has a chance to beat any other team on any given day. That's what makes Football so much better than basketball or baseball imo. With football teams play each other once instead of a series of games, and anything can happen during a single game. This game will go down as my favorite college game ever because the team considered to be the weaker team who nobody gave a chance came out and beat a team considered a powerhouse, and they did it in one of the most entertaining and exciting games of all time. The whole game was exciting, but the last 2 minutes of regulation and OT were fucking legendary. Boise had the lead all game, then their QB makes the biggest mistake possible, throwing a pick 6 with under a minute and a half left in a tie game, then they get the ball back with less than a minute and face 4th and 18 with 18 seconds left, score an amazing TD, then go to OT and decide to risk their entire season by going for 2 to either win or lose, then pull out another incredible trick play to score the 2 point conversion to win the fucking game. There was even a fucking star RB running down the sideline to find his cheerleader girlfriend so he could propose to her, what more can you fucking ask for!!!! You can't even write a fucking movie with so much drama and triumph and a happy ending with the star player and the cheerleader getting fucking married, lol!!!
Thom Brennaman did a great job announcing this game. Definitely added to the excitement. Unbelievable that he was also the announcer for the Michigan-App State game less than a year later (on a completely different network to boot)
Watched this game as little kid, from being from Idaho. This one is awesome to remember
Do Georgia vs. Auburn 2013. Amazing Game with an unbelievable finish that is overshadowed my Auburn vs Alabama. Georgia's 20 point fourth quarter comback, only to be dashed by the most ridiculous touchdown of all time.
Not a Boise or Oklahoma fan, but this was the greatest college football game I've seen EVER! Just simply the best. One additional note: Boise State almost didn't make it to an undefeated season. They blew out nearly everyone on their schedule except on November 11th, when the Broncos travelled to San Jose State for a Saturday night matchup with Dick Tomey's Spartans. It was a tough low scoring game and midway through the 4th quarter SJS led Boise 20-12. It looked like the Broncos would suffer an upset. Had they lost there would be no possibility of a New Years Day bowl. With 5:21 left Boise scored a TD and a 2-pt conversion to tie the game at 20 and then with :01 on the clock pk Anthony Montgomery nailed a 37-yard field goal to give the Broncos a 23-20 win and preserve their unbeaten status. That's the closest Boise St came to losing in 2006.
I was standing in the north endzone bleachers at Spartan Stadium and I saw Montgomery's kick sail through the uprights. I was sad that my Spartans lost, but proud of the effort they put forth and how they gave Boise State their toughest fight of the season. So when BSU played Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl it was really special to see the Broncos pull out an incredible win over the Sooners. That Fiesta Bowl was a game for the ages but most people don't know how close Boise State came to losing a game in 2006 and not being in position to get invited to a BCS game.
How about a coach actually giving credit - by name - to his players...respect!
As a UCF fan I thank this Boise State Team for pushing for a playoff. Though we haven't made it yet, at least we have a chance.
Oklahoma definitely had more talent, Chris Petersen is just a better coach. Awesome game and great highlight video.
Other Than Adrian Peterson NO THEY DON"T!!! Boise State Would have BEAT Ohio St.!!!
Well no shit.. Boise St is the Underdog in this game
dostacos Christ Petersen is not better than Bob stoops but this game OU wasn’t even as good as they usually are like aside from Adrian Peterson they weren’t that good
Anthony Swiss It’s the truth my guy 🤦🏾♂️
@Toodank2bunderstood lol @ fucking idiot Oregon fans like @scoDucks2020... just look at the PAC-12 surveys for most loved/hated fanbases that they do every year and it tells you all you need to know: literally every single other team in the PAC-12 hates Oregon fans THE MOST. even more than like Stanford/USC Stanford/Cal USC/UCLA etc. rivalries' fans hate each other. LMAO!
I’m about to go to the Fiesta Bowl 2023. Liberty vs. Oregon. I’m a Liberty fan and I am sooooo excited for the game. I don’t care about what the odds say. Just look what Boise State did.
Well that was a blowout but at least Tulane beat usc
The miracles in that stadium
16:21... WOW FORESHADOW. THATS CTAZY MAN. so much for “underdogs” getting into a playoff
it’s also amazing that even back then they were asking for a playoff
Watched this game live with my father. Best game ever in NCAA history!
On this day, January 1, 2007, good ole JR almost lost his life due to a near fatal heart attack.
Ba god ,, Boise! ...Boise State with the touchdown, for the love of god can they stop the carnage..!- Jim Ross
As a okie, I thought I drank enough to destroy those brain cells in my collective memory. We were winning until we lost. No one told Boise State.
Either Boise State vs Virginia Tech, or Boise State vs Georgia
please don't remind me of Boise State vs Georgia LMAO. iirc Zabransky turned it over *himself* 5 times in the first half, before they pity-benched him LOL. god I was so depressed that day...
@@MVPhurricane Boise vs Georgia was Kellen Moore.
@@kimchi2780 i was talking about the *original* Boise State vs. Georgia game, in 2005-- the first real big game that Boise State got vs. not-Oregon-or-Oregon-State as they were blowing up. in *that* game, Zabransky absolutely did barf epically, and it made 15 year old me very, very sad.
Gerald Alexander played football at my school in Rancho Cucamonga i was going into my sophomore year when he came and talked to the whole football program about this game man I’ll never forget that moment
As a Fresno state fan this was amazing for go5
so nice i had to watch it twice #bronconation
At 17:37, look how close Zabransky’s right foot came to tripping Ian Johnson just as Johnson jukes left for the goal line after the handoff. OMG just think of what the outcome could have been but for an inch or two. Gotta’ love this game!
Oh my goodness, what a heartbreaker for the Sooners, after that last drive and doin the 2-pt conversion play 2/3 t¡mes.
I remember this game well, and it was the best football game I ever watched.
Late 4th qtr, every time Boise St. made a play, the camera would pan to coach Stoops and he shook his head.
Got to attend this game while living in the valley. Was incredible in person and this brought back some great memories. Love it, thanks for putting it together.
The two point conversion pay was a companion play to another play Boise St had run earlier in the year on a 2 point conversion. Out of the same formation Boise had run a screen pass to the top of the formation and knowing Oklahoma would have seen during film study the faked the screen pass and since everybody flowed to the top of the formation Boise sealed off any backside chasers and the running back had a clear lane to the end zone on the 2 point conversion attempt. Brilliant use of a counter to a play already seen on film
No one is talking about how good this qb for Boise is selling the play action!
My parents took my brother and I to this game when we were in kindergarten, and after the third quarter we left because my brother I were too young to care and were exhausted so we convinced our parents to take us home. My dad is still mad that we made him miss one of the greatest endings in college football history 😂😂
drewsifer817 that's cold blooded 😂
Would've told my kid yeah right you're sleeping here tonight
The younger generation will never know how big this upset was, college football has changed so much today with the big conferences, back then nobody outside of the big conferences could even get a chance to play in a bowl game, there was so much public pressure on the NCAA to let Utah and Boise have a chance and their worst fear came true in this game, the NCAA didn’t want to share the money with anyone outside, a lot of people in sports media thought this was a joke game, this game changed everything you see today in college football.
I watched this game from start to finish and what an epic! Thank you for the awesome highlight package!
I was 6 years old watching this w my family in boise. One of my first vivid memories is how happy all my family and friends were on that last drive.
Still the GREATEST game in College football history.
