WOW !! What a game. Boise State (Utah) the David in the game led all the
way
down to under 2 min. when Okla. U. the Goliath scored and (on the third try)
made
a 2 point conversion to tie game at 28. Boise on the first play after
receiving kick
off threw an interception that was returned for a touchdown. Okla. ahead by
7 with
about a min. left to play. Boise (with using two time outs) got to within
about 35
yds. of goal line and then used a razzle dazzle pass and lateral play to
score with
6 sec. left. PAT was good and game went into overtime tied at 35/35.
Boise
won toss and elected to go on defense. Okla. scored on first play with 25
yd. run.
Boise made a first down on their possession and got down to 2 yd. line.
They
scored and elected to try for a 2 point conversion and a win. Another
razzle dazzle
play and the conversion was good for a 36 - 25 WIN for Boise State. Boise
was
a consensus underdog in the game but led all the way until that Okla.
touchdown
with under 2 min. There were 22 points scored in those last 2 min. of
regular play.
I was pulling for Boise State as the underdog and it was a real pleasure to
see them
win in one of the most exciting finishes to a football game of all time.

david...

many points scored in final 2 minutes.... and happy 2007, bill!

That does sound like a great game - and I'd have been rooting for the
underdog, too!
