Statue of Liberty????

David 1, Goliath 0

Oh yeah! We were all looking for that!

It's not the about the size of the dog in the fight. It's about the size of the fight in the dog.

Boise State brought it all to the table on New Year's Night. Boise State left it all on the field.

Next year, when Western Athletic Conference (WAC) Champion Boise State is 12-0, most BCS official will be more than ready to extend a warm invitation to the Broncos.

Oklahoma, Big Twelve powerhouse and one of the great collegiate football powers in NCAA football history, scored 25 second-half come-back points and forced overtime at 35-35.

Oklahoma scored in OT in one play to make it 42-35.

Boise answered with a TD of their own to make it 42-41.

And Boise decided to go for the win.

Boise State pulled off the 2007 "play of the year" with a well-designed, sandlot-style, Statue of Liberty reverse to cap off a 43-42 unbelievable overtime win over Oklahoma.

Just ANOTHER reason to have a college football playoff.
