BEST Finish in CFB HISTORY 💯 Boise State Upsets Oklahoma: A Game to Remember

schumi246 yes.. GLORIOUS

[@snap-off5383]

Yeah it worked so good because the lateraling receiver sold the inside move first and killed any chance of any defender popping back outside quick because they all had momentum going back toward the center of the field, when it was tossed to a sprinter already at at top speed headed toward the sideline.

[@austin1470]

This game was one of the foundations for creating a playoff 8 years later

[@tycalvert9633]

Austin and yet people argue the same thing happened this year so did it help anything?

[@alexadair5871]

The foundation for the college football playoff was when Oklahoma State was left out of the BCS Championship when they had a stronger resume than Alabama, who lost previously to LSU. OSU got jobbed bad, probably the worst I have ever seen by the powers that be in the football college world. They put LSU and Alabama in a rematch that nobody wanted to see, and a lot of people didn't watch it. Not too long afterward a college football playoff was implemented.

[@obi-wankenobi4884]

Alex Adair Alabama lost against LSU who was #1 in the nation by only 3 points. Oklahoma State lost to Iowa State in overtime.

[@alexadair5871]

Oklahoma State had a stronger resume, with the team's they beat that year. Most of Alabama's wins did not compare to Oklahoma States wins. NICK Saban got on National t.v. and campaigned to get into the Championship game. College football is all about money, and OSU is not a blueblood program, so they got jobbed and they got jobbed bad.

[@obi-wankenobi4884]

Alex Adair Actually, Alabama's wins DID compare to Oklahoma State's wins. Oklahoma State had a close one point win vs #8 Texas A&M, a 38-26 point win vs #22 Texas, a close 52-45 point win vs #17 Kansas State, and a huge 44-10 blowout win vs Oklahoma in the Big 12 Championship. Every ranked team Oklahoma State played in the regular season they struggled with. However, Alabama had a 27-11 point win vs #23 ranked Penn State, a 38-14 point win vs #14 Arkansas, and a big 38-10 point win vs #12 Florida. Alabama's wins were on par with Oklahoma State's. Yet again, you can't only pay attention to the wins. Your losses count as well. Oklahoma State lost 37-31 against unranked Iowa State in overtime. Alabama lost 9-6 (only a 3 point loss) against LSU who was ranked the #1 team in the nation. The only thing separating Oklahoma State and Alabama was that Oklahoma State had a chance to play in a Conference Championship while Alabama did not. In the Big 12 the two highest ranked teams in the conference play in the Conference Championship. In the SEC if you lose in your division you don't get a chance to play in your Conference Championship despite being the 2nd highest ranked team in your conference. Plus, Alabama was the #1 team in the nation anyways. They blew out LSU 21-0 and held all but one of their opponents below 20 points. They averaged 8.8 points allowed per game, averaged 74.9 rushing yards allowed per game, averaged 116.4 passing yards allowed per game, and averaged a total of 191.3 yards allowed per game with a total of 13 interceptions that year. This defense only allowed nine touchdowns that year and only 18 points were scored on this defense in the 4th quarter all year as well. They didn't even allow LSU to pass the 50 yard line until late in the 4th quarter. I can go all day with you of why Alabama deserved to play LSU in the BCS National Championship.

Hard to believe that this game was 11 years ago. No one gave Boise State a chance. I did not think that they could beat Oklahoma. But I was rooting for the Broncos that night. When BSU scored the two point conversion in OT to win, I was happy to see a supposed "David" beat the supposed "Goliath." Have been a Clemson fan since 1977. This year's team is very good. But the 1981, who was very good, was given no chance of beating Nebraska in the Orange Bowl. Especially since that the Cornhuskers played in the Big Eight in those days. Clemson was in 1981, that weak ACC. But the Tigers in 1981, as the Broncos in 2007, showed they were much better teams that anyone thought that they were. This was why I rooted for Boise State in this game. I can remember a team that I liked who was given no chance. Thank you for sharing this video. It shows that anyone or any group can accomplish anything, as long as they believe in themselves and work hard for that goal. Take Care.

There were two G5 teams who were CFP quality; 1. TCU: they got snubbed from CFP spot 1 yr by OSU plus their recruiting was negatively affected by switching conference. 2. Boise State: They were really good under Chris Petersen. But NCAA was unfair most during most of his tenure. After scandal in the BSU Women's Tennis team and a very minor scandal in football (student athletes provided fellow recruits with meals and beds while visiting campus) the NCAA gave BSU probation for 3 yrs. With Petersen leaving 2 yrs later, it harmed them.

[@mikesneed4102]

It's what us people who go to BSU learn to do. Succeed in whatever means necessary

[@CharlesUrban]

The risk they took was calculated. Fortunately, they were pretty good at math.

[@thegreyfedora8532]

What a showdown! Still one of my favorites! Zabransky reminds me of the villain that you just can't help but root for.

[@seanhettenbach2101]

My sister was about 2 years old, and I remember everyone in the house being asleep... I was watching in my room and when the hook and ladder happened I jumped out of my bed and let out a shout of excitement... Woke everyone up, so my parents made me responsible for getting my sister back to sleep. So I was there in my room, just got her to sleep when boise did the rb pass for the td, and woke everyone up again... Lol... Then the statue of liberty was just icing on the cake, everyone was just settling back to bed and and not less than 2 minutes a later I woke everyone up again... Yeah it was an exciting game, if not the most exciting game to watch ever.

[@knowndonut296]

Thank you so much for this video! This game is what made me fall in love with college football.

[@someokiedude9549]

Man, this still hurts as an OU fan. I remember crying so hard that night (I was 7, mind you). Great game though, even if it was a humiliating loss for OU.

[@tjkeegan470]

I was the same age & I cried too 😂😂😂😂😂 I’ll never forget that

[@torpedo58]

I get it. I was 10 or 11 when Kansas lost to Penn State in the Orange Bowl, and nobody but Kansas thought that the Hawks had a chance against the Nittany Lions. KU had the lead late in the game, when Penn State scored to pull within 1. They went for two, and failed...except that KU had 12 men on the field! Penn State got a do over and converted, winning by 1. I cried for DAYS. It seemed like my life was over!🤣

[@tycalvert9633]

I'm still waiting on the 30 for 30 entitled Statue of Liberty to air.

[@jonathanhurley660]

loved this game so much that i actually rented the video of it a couple of years later. truly one of the most wild, crazy, roller-coaster rides of a game ever.

[@danielswagman1447]

Thank you so much for the video! Please keep making a game to remember videos!

[@roweyourboat2415]

The city of Boise was crazy that night. Ill never forget this day. All the hype leading up to this game that an under dog team from Idaho couldn't run with a big dog like Oklahoma. Winning that game was the best feeling ever. This game is up there with the best football games ever played.

[@MexMomba]

My favorite game of all time! Thank you for this!

[@HarrisHighlights]

Thanks for watching!

[@football-know-it-all9931]

Same

[@DreThaOnedaTV85]

11 Years later this game still give me chills

[@ajc-ff5cm]

I watched this game live. Hands down the best football game I have EVER seen. No one gave BSU a chance.

[@BrianJHilliard]

The Sooners broke my heart this night. I remember this remarkable game. Much respect to the Boise State Broncos

[@lukecotter4734]

Best college football game of all time

[@danielboggan2479]

Luke Cotter 2013iron Bowl

[@obi-wankenobi4884]

Luke Cotter Ok lets not be crazy. I’m an Alabama fan and I can name better games. 2013 Iron Bowl, 2016, 2017, And 2018 National Championship, Alabama vs LSU 2011, Texas A&M vs UCLA 2017, 2018 Rose Bowl, 2006 Rose Bowl, etc. This game is in the Top 50 though.

[@paulnettles9109]

And the most important game in CFB history.

[@sportsfanatic1313]

Fresno St USC 2004(?). Known as the Reggie Bush cutback game, but Fresno nearly won in a crazy game

[@noahwillis6071]

Obi-Wan Kenobi This game is consensus top 5

[@catperson945]

I remembered in 12 years ago while watching at busters restaurant. But so sadly I moved south to Prescott Valley, AZ to be closer to my mother's in 2 years ago. In future, when my mother passed away, I will sell my house then move back to Meridian, Idaho to start over again and enjoy a good life up there. Thanks for knowing a lot of me.

[@jimfath]

I accidentally watched this game as it followed, I believe, the orange bowl? that I had just watched. I reluctantly watched figuring it would be over quickly. "I'll turn it off once the score gets out of hand". I was quickly glued to my seat. Back and forth. Boise State wouldn't let up and Oklahoma kept chipping away. It was like a great prize fight. I can still remember standing up, shocked, at the hook and ladder play. Then again for the statue of liberty 2 point conversion play. A team I had barely heard of had me literally on the edge of my seat. I still can't believe it. It was honestly one of the best games I've ever seen and I'm not a fan of either team so I'm speaking purely from gamesmanship.

[@marquestainter4131]

I'm a Fresno State fan, Only time I have ever rooted for Boise State. Was a hell of a game!

[@jonnyblanton2358]

Marques Tainter much love from a BSU fan

[@vinceniederman3235]

One of The Best If Not The Best Bowl Games EVER Such a Classic Game in My Mind!

[@platkotheungod]

Best game I've ever seen and I have no affiliation with either

[@vinceniederman3235]

@john platko Agreed I Thought Oklahoma Was Done After The Broncos Were Winning Big!

[@TheoriginalBMT]

@@vinceniederman3235 Same. And when there was the pick 6 at the end...ahh. 4th down and long. The lows were real

[@ManWhoLaughs2311]

I loved watching this game live as well as this reply, Seeing Boise pull off every staple trick play in one game was amazing. OU had no answers for the trickeration!

[@Madmun357]

My team was in the WAC so I was well aware of who Boise State was, and I knew they could hang with OU. Then...I didn't watch this game. I'm still kicking myself!

[@williamherman9065]

This game is why I watch College Football. Now, I have been watching College Football since I was about 6 years old in the late 80s... But what I mean is, the chance to get to watch a game like THIS, that is why I watch College Football. It's why we all watch, and love, College Football!!! One of the Greatest Games I have ever seen, and I re-watch it every couple years or so. Still remember ever single second of it!!

[@kingkenny97]

Please do a Game to Remember of the Penn State Vs. Michigan Football in 2013. 4 OTs and a very thrilling upset in happy valley! It would make great content, thanks!

[@commandershepard1838]

Kenny Reiter upset? Michigan was barely bowl eligible that year. They had barely beaten Akron and uconn just before that. I’m a Michigan fan and they were god awful that year thanks to al borges and hoke

[@hectorhernandez9892]

Not a bowl game. Sorry!

[@AJ8871]

it’s also amazing that even back then they were asking for a playoff

[@severinkrohne4218]

best game ever

[@Jinokilja]

ChampionWertz 12 hn

[@cryogeneric]

I have difficulty calling any the "best ever". But, man, for college football it's up there. It's right at the top. I can't think of too many other games that are in the same category.

[@JWP6948]

Nah Texas vs USC was a better game but this one is close

[@kathemurray6711]

My husband and I watch this game before each college football season. We were there and it was thrilling!

[@largenhauer]

14:50 When you're really disappointed but damn that was a good play

[@SwankeyMonkey]

15:35 Same.

[@rickymouser8003]

I was there as a Boise State fan when I was ten years old. My dad had been the announcer on TV for the Boise State games aired locally. This game taught me life lessons about being an underdog.

[@robertcullen7042]

Number 79 sealing off that edge, blocking 2 guys, was a work of art.

[@CaptainRedbeard.]

I think this is the absolute best game of college football of my life. I'm 25 and a bama fan. But this game is always #1 to me with the Texas vs USC Rose Bowl a very close 2nd.

[@rightasrain3680]

This was a game for the ages. Boise State was on fire!

[@matthewseel5961]

Remember when players used to play in the bowl games? That was good times.

[@Collegefootballproductions]

Yeah I don’t think we’ll ever see anything like this again😢

[@leftyspade]

The music has made think I'm minutes from death and it ain't gonna end well!

[@CarrollSaint17]

I was a kid in boise when this happened, and it was one of the most amazing experiences I’ve had, went to downtown that night and people out partying the streets were crowded it felt like the whole city was behind that team.

[@stankface18]

21:29 guy behind coach is really feeling himself 😂😂😂

[@DumpsterD]

Watched this game as little kid, from being from Idaho. This one is awesome to remember
