One of The Greatest Football Games of All-Time: Boise State vs Oklahoma January 1, 2007

 

Oklahoma vs Boise State January 1, 2007

One of the greatest college football games of all-time took place on January 1, 2007.  The Boise State Broncos vs the Oklahoma Sooners in the Fiesta Bowl.  Boise State was undefeated, 12-0, and at the time were part of the WAC (Western Athletic Conference).  Their opponent in the game was Oklahoma, who had a record of 11-2.  

It was a legendary upset where the underdog Broncos beat the heavily favored Sooners 43-42 in overtime, sealed by a famous "Statue of Liberty" trick play and a successful two-point conversion, cementing its place as one of college football's greatest games and boosting Boise State's national profile. 

Take a minute and relive the game by watching the video.  I appreciate at the very end, that the running back for Boise State, proposes to his girlfriend.  It was definitely a game you don't see everyday.
