Boise State reached into their hat and pulled out a rabbit..…actually a fake punt and stunned TCU in a Fiesta Bowl battle of unbeaten BCS busters.
After the Broncos pulled off a fake punt at their own 33-yard line, Doug Martin scored the decisive touchdown to give No. 6 Boise State a 17-10 victory over third-ranked TCU on Monday night.
A 10-10 tie came alive when punter Kyle Brotzman hit wide-open Kyle Efaw with a 30-yard strike with about 9 minutes to play. Four plays later, Martin dove over a tackler from 2 yards out as the Broncos became the second school ever to go 14-0, joining Ohio State in 2002.
The Broncos caught the Horned Frogs (slippin) on the fake punt. Kellen Moore then completed three straight passes to advance to the 2, and Martin scored to put Boise State up 17-10 with 7:21 to go.
Boise State is known for its offense…… but the defense put in work most of the night.
Western Athletic Conference champion Boise State earned its second BCS victory – as many as Michigan, Penn State and Alabama have combined.
The Broncos are one of only three remaining unbeatens, along with Texas and Alabama, which will play for the National Title on Thursday night…….do you think it’s time that the Pac-10 invites Boise St. in the Conference……..don’t forget the Big 10 (plus Penn St.) are looking to add one more school!!
14-0!!
