Anyone else watch this game? I swear it was the best football game I've ever seen!

22 points scored in just over a minute and a half, a hook lateral touchdown with 7 seconds left, and a Statue of Liberty two-point conversion to win the game for Boise State. All topped off by a marriage proposal by one of the BSU players.

Video of the last part of the game & OT

We're supposed to grumble about the BCS right about now, right?

I'll admit I paid no attention to college football this year. Still waiting for the Mets to trade for another starting pitcher....

Fooled the camera man! I'd love to get a copy of the whole game somewhere.

I'm still looking for it myself. I heard it's going to be on the iTunes Store.

It's up there for $6.99.

Hmm, All I see are preview shows.

It looks like you have to buy the Bowl game season pass to get it

This season pass includes the full length game...

I love it when fake plays, especially high schoolish (grade schoolish?) plays as stupid as that one work so effectively. I'm not being sarcastic, I was really entertained by it. If I were a coach my playbook would be full of stuff like that. I don't understand current plays or formations (nickel, etc.); the stupider and simpler plays have always made more sense.

The full game wasn't all that exciting. Well, I shouldn't say that. Boise led most of the game, which was pretty shocking. Then UO came back to lead and everyone thought the game was over. And Boise pulls out 3 trick plays to tie it and win it in OT. Amazing! This is why I watch football. I commend the coaching staff of Boise for choosing to run those plays in such a crucial part of the game. 99% of teams would've taken the safest (read: most boring) route. But Boise said "no point in pulling any punches now" and gave us a game for the record books.

Despite being "The University of Oklahoma," they go by "OU" instead of "UO." I have no idea why. Crazy Sooners!

I just got a chance to watch the youTube clip, and those plays were pretty exciting....

Oops, I meant to type OU. I'm a University of Oregon alum, so my fingers automatically type UO.

I thought OU was going to crush Boise State, what a great game, so far it has been the best bowl game this year.

As an Oklahoma State fan...I couldn't be happier.

Here's a highlight of the USC game:

Yes, I go to Auburn and, though I bleed orange and blue, that BSU/OU game was probably the greatest game I've ever seen. AMAZING!
WE NEED A PLAYOFF!
