• Three Trick Plays Stun Oklahoma

  Boise State had a magical season in 2006, and were extended an invitation to play in the Fiesta Bowl against Big 12 powerhouse Oklahoma. Trailing 35-28 and facing a 4th-and-18, the Broncos scored a touchdown on a hook and lateral pass play to send the game into overtime. After a quick score by the Sooners, Boise managed to get inside the five-yard line and scored on a halfback option pass. Trailing by one, they went for two and scored the conversion when Johnson took a handoff from Zabransky on a Statue of Liberty play to win the game.
