Idaho 43, Bowling Green 42

Whew! I'm exhausted!

Only one field goal attempted (by BG early in the game) and it was blocked. Up and down the field. Back and forth. Bowling Green took the lead 42-35 with just 32 seconds left in the game and I though the Vandals had blown it. But they came back and scored their own TD with 0.04 on the clock. Then they went for two and made it!

After being 1-11 two years ago and 2-10 last year, the Vandals really stepped up this year. They were 6-1 at one point and then lost four of their last five games. But today they had just enough to win their first bowl appearance in 11 years.

This game gets my vote as the most entertaining so far. (Yeah, Wyoming's 35-28 double overtime win over Fresno State was pretty good, too. As was Pitt's 19-16 last second win over North Carolina.)

And there's still lots of games to go!

Well, they have held on to their coach for three consecutive years. They had four (or was it five?) different coaches while you were there.
