Im sorry Auburn failed you Coach. I liked what you brought but at the end of the day its a popularity contest. Freeze hasnt done anything in 2 years.

Best game in the history of football.

It’s time for this kind of moment again tomorrow bronco nation

That hook and ladder they stole from Utah, who used it in the Fiesta Bowl 2 years earlier

Boise state 🤝 fiesta bowl 07,10,now 2024-25

Every trick play in the books worked in this game.

The only game that might have been better than this (MIGHT) was Duke Kentucky 1992 elite 8

So we see the man behind the curtain

Boise went up by several points then the Sooners came back and took the lead. After that I thought OK gonna win game. I went to bed and didn't find out until next morning. My wife chastises me for that ever since.

Reporters should be banned from locker room! Players haver right to privacy!!! Locker room is no place to make interviews!

The S of L play was a great one in the Chris Peterson era to win a bowl game.

I remember watching this as an OU fan. Didn’t like any of it. It was too sneaky to be fair. When I get out of this mental institution I’m going looking for that coach…😢

Watched it all from the endzone-- wrong endzone, so watched it on the Jumbotron above my head. The noise level was unbelievable. Felt it in my sternum!

This game is why I became a Boise State fan.

I remember Boise State was ranked No. 5 in the final AP poll despite being the only unbeaten team. When asked about it, Chris Petersen said he was OK with it. Thought that was pretty classy.

That game was a marquee Broadway show with a feel-good romantic ending at the end! The most entertaining and dramatic bowl game I’ve ever seen.

And 17-years later, Boise State is back in the Fiesta Bowl...a College Football Playoff Quarterfinal Game at the Fiesta Bowl.

Bsu is back again baby!!!🎉

Anytime i see these "tough guys" get rocked is nice. They hype eachother up after blindsiding dudes and acting like theyre gangster for it lol anybody can rock someone not looking and ready.

i always loved how he stopped giving a fuck about the other guy because he wanted to hit reed.

I come back to this every year for this week HERE WE GO

E-D Reed a proper hardcase , I have no doubt he has no issue with the block. That is football.

And Hines was looking for something else to destroy 😡

I have so much more love for Hines Ward after revisiting this after 5 straight Ed Reed highlights. There's no sense in Reed being that overtly violent in the way he played. Once one guy does it, its kill or be killed for the rest of the league. He was bad for the game. Dont believe me, check out the rule book

I consider this to be the second best game of all time. Only one that BARELY beats it is the Rose Bowl from the previous year.

Ed reed is better than Troy? I’ve never seen Troy get smacked by a wideout.

I love Hines Ward but that looks like a crown straight to the facemask

One of the first videos I ever saw on KZbin with my friends. Glad I found it again

One of the best football games EVER!!!

70-year-old here. Greatest game I’ve ever seen, and I had ZERO allegiance for, or interest in, either team. I just wanted to watch a game. Again, greatest game I ever saw at any level, and still the only one I’ve gone back and re-watched over and over.

Who’s watching this in 2024?!

Back when football was football.

It would be yellow flag confetti now.

The greatest game all time. No comparison.

I watched this in my basement and was yelling for my wife to come down too.... then the marriage proposal to the cheerleader sealed it as the best game of all time.

This rivalry was pure hatred. I can’t wait to watch all them dirty rat birds cry to sleep whenever Hines ward gets inducted into the HOF. It’s long overdue imho. Same with James Harrison.

#26 is lucky he was busy rubbing salt in reeds wound otherwise he would of got the business too

I watched that game. I loved the Statue of Liberty play. Poor Oklahoma never knew what Boise was going to do next.😂😂😂

I miss the hits they used to go to commercial with 😂

Gotta love those great memories...Ed Reed wasn't a Great Safety. Steeler Receivers, Hines" the Great" Ward, were as Tough as their Defense was!!! I miss the Good Ole days of Football!!

Steelers need this back

rotflmfao!

Guess Ed "didn't want to play physical football" that night. Maybe he needed his James Brown coat.

This is the greatest sports game ever played. There's an ESPN article that says, "Boise State-OU destroyed press box professionalism" -- when in the press box, journalists aren't supposed to cheer or react to the game they're covering, but this game was different: "And when the Broncos lined up and went for two points and the win, and quarterback Jared Zabransky faked a pass and slipped the ball behind his back, and running back Ian Johnson grabbed it and sped around the left end and scored... We all lost it. 'Statue of Liberty!' I screamed to no one in particular, after springing out of my chair. 'They ran the Statue of Liberty! Are you [bleeping] kidding me?'"

The Raven could give as well as they got, but against this Steelers team they mostly got.

Hines uses his classic helmet to the facemask approach. What a POS

Hines Ward was best at blocking defenseless players. Straight up he wasnt as effective.

I MISS THIS !!!!

Someone show this to George Pickens 😂

I RESPECT ED REED BUT .. HINES WARD WAS A TRUE PITTSBURGH STEELER ... SALUTE 🏈🎸🎶👍🏾💯
