The heck was that?

You didn't have to be from Idaho to get a kick out of the Boise State win over Oklahoma last night.

Gutsy Broncos dip into bag of tricks to pull off a stunner

The Broncos fought back with the kind of plays you just don't see in the Big 12, the Southeastern Conference or the Big Ten.

The kind of plays that make Boise State unique — just like its blue field.

The Broncos tied the game 35-35 on a 50-yard hook-and-lateral with 7 seconds left to force overtime.

They fell behind 42-35 on the first play of overtime — a 25-yard touchdown run by Oklahoma's superstar tailback Adrian Peterson — then won it with a touchdown pass by Perretta and a 2-point conversion by tailback Ian Johnson on the Statue of Liberty play.

Coach Chris Petersen did not hesitate to go for the 2-point conversion. He knew his defense was fading.

"They're so big, strong and physical," Petersen said of the Sooners. "The first overtime (series) didn't go so well. One play, they were in the end zone. We liked the play we had for a 2-point conversion. It really wasn't a difficult decision at that point."

On the 2-point play, called "Statue," Zabransky faked a pass to the right and wrapped the ball behind his back. Johnson took the ball and went left while every Sooner bit on the fake.

Johnson easily beat the defense to the end zone.

If college footbal had a playoff system, I wouldn't mind seeing Boise State against USC next week. But, they don't.
