Un-4-Gettable

Monday, October 15, 2007
Un-4-Gettable - This was the headline of the Idaho Statesman this morning. Now, I really didn't plan on blogging this much about Boise State football, but it really is incredible to watch. Last night was a nail biter. I have no clue what happened to our defense, but I think they were definitely somewhere else besides Bronco stadium. In all reality, Nevada's offense played great, but how the heck did they keep running right through our defense? One of my co-workers described it like the parting of the red sea :-) Anyway, that's beside the point. Last night's game was super intense, tied at the end of the game 44-44. We were tied after the first over time, 51-51. We were tied after the second overtime, 58-58. We were tied after the third overtime, 61-61. Finally, we pulled ahead to win the game in the 4th overtime, winning 69-67. I'm sure glad we won, but here are some interesting facts from the game:
  • Highest scoring game in NCAA football history (since 1937, when they started keeping track) – 136
  • Most overtimes in WAC history
  • BSU had given up 61 points all season - the scoring average rose from 12.2 per game to 21.3 points per game
  • BSU is 23-4 on ESPN
