Early, BSU will go down 14 points. They always do! The Sooners will sigh with relief and begin to plan for next year.
Second quarter. Down by 14 BSU’s Korey Hall grips an interceptions and scores. 14-7. Sooner fans don’t even notice. A fluke. Paul J speaks of a small shift in momentum. Oklahoma goes 6 and out. ESPN announcer Herbstreet pipes in with “Hey is this games changing?†TV sidekicks laughs! Boomer fans still in bar across the street
Boise gets a long kick return from Q. Jones and start on the 40. After a series of 6 and 8 yard runs by Ian Johnson, Z nails a perfect fade pass to Naanee and BSU ties the game at 14.
The BOY C -STATE cheer rocks the house. The Broncos head to the locker room Even Steven's.
Third quarter, both Adrian Peterson and Ian Johnson run well, but penalties and dropped passes stall each team drives. The score still tied at the end of three! Espn mentions “that the Broncos are amazingly still in this thing?†Paul J speaks of the big mo and Z and Johnson get those grins.
It is down to the final 15 minutes of the biggest game in BSU history. No one east of the Rockies believed. No one with a “Idaho Alumni†license plate believed. OK, I was a bit worried myself. The guys in Blue, they believed, in them self's, their couch and the system. So, the forth quarter is all Blue and Orange. Ian's famous patience pays off, and Zabransky has the quarter of a life time. Every pass sticks and he shares the wealth with 4 different backs catching balls. Early in the quarter after a 22 yard run to the 3. Z bootlegs in for a touchdown.
That’s right folks BSU up by 7. The ESPN guys don’t know what to say. No one wrote them a script for BSU having a chance to win. In the KBOI booth The Voice of the Broncos has lost his voice and Tom Scott has to take over. In true BSU style they recover an sneaky little onside kick then stall on the 43. Sooner ball. Suddenly awake, those Boomer fans still coherent cheer their team with Boola boola or some other song they stole from Yale or was it North Carolina? Almost works, but Hall drags an another ball out of the sky and BSU is back in the charge. Driving slowly down the field the Blue and Orange cross the mid stripe and than are stopped at the 23 yard line and are forced to attempt a feild goal. Montgomery nails it for three more.
Stunned and defeated. Oklahoma fades to a 24 to 14 loss at the hands of the soon to be #5 BOISE STATE BRONCOS.
That’s the story!-No need to play the game!
