re: How incredible was Boise State’s run circa 2006-12?

That Fiesta Bowl win over Oklahoma was one of the greatest bowl games ever
What's funny is everyone remembers the last few plays (hook and ladder, RB TD pass, statue of liberty) but honestly Boise was kicking OU's arse up and down the field all game.
They were up 28-10 midway through the 3rd quarter and OU was punting the ball away. The punt hit the leg of a Boise St blocker and then OU recovered and scored, and the comeback was on.
I always wondered what would have happened if it was a routine punt and Boise got back on offense instead at that point. If they go down the field and score again to make it 35-10 that probably would have been game at that point and we may remember that game as a blowout.

Boise was a fun team to watch back then.

It was one of those games where OU didn't really care because it wasn't a title game and b/c of their opponent
When OU finally woke up, they dominated and roared back. It's more a case of Boise being lucky OU spotted them so much by not giving a shite.
Big teams not giving a shite in BCS bowl games when they fell short was common. That's how Utah beat Bama's arse that one year, for example.

Had to hear it from him the next day even though he didn’t care about college football. Turned out I didn’t know everything as a young man.

When OU scored to tie it up, we all thought Boise is going to blow this. It happens all the time, little guy is the better team all game and then crumbles...
And then Zabransky throws that awful pick-6 with like a minute left in the game - Oklahoma scores two TDs in 2 minutes to take the lead.
And you're shaking your head...it always turns out this way.
