Vote: Was the Fiesta Bowl the best ever?


 Ian Johnson
Ian Johnson cashed in the "Statue of Liberty" play to win it for the Broncos - and got the girl, too.
A football movie script played out on the real gridiron in the Fiesta Bowl on Monday night. The funny thing is, if it was an actual movie, the ending may not have been considered very believable.

But Boise State perfectly executed a few trick plays late in the fourth quarter and in overtime to defeat Oklahoma, 43-42, in one of the best finishes in recent memory. After scoring the winning two-point conversion, Boise State running back Ian Johnson proposed to his girlfriend to complete the fairytale ending. She accepted, by the way.

We want to get your thoughts on this classic bowl game, SportsNation. Which was the best play of the game? If the Broncos had kicked the extra point to send the game into a second overtime, which team would have won? Did you even stay up to see the end of the game? And does unbeaten Boise State deserve to be in the national title game against Ohio State, instead of Florida?
