If you missed the last five minutes plus overtime of the Fiesta Bowl, I'm sorry for you. That was the most exciting football game I've seen in years.
In one of the more dramatic finishes in BCS history, the Sooners (11-3) and the Broncos (13-0) combined for 22 points in the final 86 seconds of regulation.
And then went on to score 15 more in OT. OU scored first in the overtime. Boise State then scored a touchdown and went for a two-point conversion to win. The quarterback faked a fade pass to the right side and handed off on the Statue of Liberty play to the running back who went into the end zone untouched.
Wottagame!
Update: More from ESPN, including the story of the running back's on-field marriage proposal to his girlfriend immediately subsequent to his scoring the conversion. (Yes, she accepted.)

Three trick plays to win. I'm still in disbelief. Even NPR is covering it on All Things Considered!
