As an Idaho resident for twenty-three years, it warmed my heart to see Boise State's homage to their 2007 Fiesta Bowl victory, pulled off in their 63-14 rout of Wyoming Saturday night. Check out this video of Grant Hedrick and Jay Ajayi being Jared Zabransky and Ian Johnson, once again scoring on an unsuspecting defense whose film study didn't go seven years back, for some strange reason!
Here's as great a game-ending play as you'll see most weekends - Hawaii came all the way back with a drive and a score with one second left on the clock to defeat UNLV in the final home game for the islanders. Sure, it only brought the Warriors to 4-8, and they're still not going to a bowl (or in their case, staying at a bowl), but I'll bet it felt like a bowl win!
The Tennessee Volunteers pulled off a great fake field goal for an easy touchdown in their game against Missouri Saturday - and for those expecting a Lambeau Leap, at least one was tangibly and physically disappointed...
You've seen the accidental kicks that get caught - the deflections and such. Here's a frankly silly one in the Oregon-Colorado game that encapsulates what the Buffaloes' season is all about.
Here's a classic one-handed grab by Virginia's Cannan Severin in their win over Miami of Florida that helped edge them closer to bowl eligibility...
...but for sheer AWESOMENESS, it's difficult to imagine that ANYONE is going to top the legend-in-the-making from LSU, Odell Beckham Jr., who made the most impossible catch you will ever see - and he made it in a prime-time game for the NFL's New York Giants against Dallas on Sunday Night Football. Commentator after commentator have said that it's the greatest catch they've ever seen, and I have to admit I'm hard pressed to top it. The one that comes to mind, ironically, was also a Giant: David Tyree in the Super Bowl, against the side of his helmet, to beat the 18-0 Patriots. It wins for context; this wins for skill level.
