How BSU got into overtime

[Ithaca 37]

The best post game wrap-up I've seen so far is in the NY times. Here's an excerpt:

Boise lined up with three wide receivers to the right and Drisan James alone on the left. James caught the ball about 12 yards from the line of scrimmage, with the defense playing soft to prevent him from getting a first down.

The key to the play was James’s ability to fake that he was going to try and run for a first down. He tucked the ball and ran about 4 yards, which drew all the Oklahoma defenders toward him. Then he pitched the ball 4 yards behind him to Jerard Rabb, who had run over from the cluster of receivers on the other side of the field.


“I didn’t even want to look after I pitched it,” James said.


But the pitch went seamlessly, and Rabb knew almost instantly that James had executed the perfect fake.


“When he caught it, he sucked the defensive backs, safeties and corners, they all came straight to him,” Rabb said. “He held it just long enough for me to escape around the side.


“As soon as I got the ball and took about two steps, I was gone. Other than the time I was getting chased by a pit bull, it was the fastest I’ve run in my life.”

And you thought all we did in Idaho was tip cows......

On the other hand, the BSU running back's hobby is knitting.

It was interesting when they were talking about the BSU running back, he likes to knit, his mom is a social worker and his dad is a fireman. When they talked about the star OU back they said his old man had just got out of an 8 year stint in prison.
