history.
That's right boys and germs. 19th ranked Nevada beat the no. 4 team in the country last night in a thrilling 34-31 overtime game played in Reno. God I wish i could have been there for that one.
.................................
It's over! Anthony Martinez hits a 34-yard field goal to knock off the #4 rated Boise State Broncos, 34-31 in overtime. It's an absolute horror show for Boise State kicker Kyle Brotzman, who missed the game winner at the end of regulation and the game extender in the first overtime. If you don't feel sick for that poor kid, you don't have a soul.
But this game isn't about Brotzman. It's about the Nevada defense, who held the mighty Boise offense scoreless in the second half except for one screen pass. For those of you who stayed up to see the end of this game, you got a real treat.
Congratulations to Chris Ault and the Nevada Wolf Pack, a truly deserved winner of a phenomenal game. Gary Patterson and the TCU Horned Frogs are now officially over the moon, as all they need to do now is beat a terrible New Mexico team to put themselves in position for a title shot if Oregon or Auburn fail.
As for Boise, a 24-game winning streak is nothing to sneeze at, regardless of the competition level. And please spare me the "they'd lose four games in the SEC" argument. If Boise was in the SEC (as has been argued by others before me), they'd be recruiting SEC talent and have SEC facilities to add to what they've accomplished.
As for the abomination of a system that is the BCS, it likely gets spared another dose of controversy this year. Only TCU remains to challenge the consensus Oregon-Auburn title game, and their fundamental absence from the national scene going forward will make it that much easier for the Horned Frogs to be forgotten come final voting time. Now, fans of BCS chaos can only hope for an Oregon or Auburn loss to ignite the debate about a one-loss team hurdling TCU for a title shot.
Thanks to everyone who stayed up with me to watch this amazingly entertaining football game.
