PrintNothing wraps up a year quite like an arbitrary Top Ten list chosen on the whims of an author who probably forgot important items that should have been on the list. OBNUG has Top Ten fever this week, so get used to seeing loads of lists and get used to telling us how or if we messed them up. First: Touchdowns.
No. 10 - Kellen Moore to a wide open Tyler Shoemaker for 62 yards on a fake screen against Colorado State.
No. 9 - Doug Martin's 90-yard touchdown run against Nevada ... that didn't count because of a phantom holding penalty. Safe to say I'm having trouble letting that one go.
No. 8 - Dallas Burroughs touchdown bomb from Kellen Moore against TCU.
No. 7 - Doug Martin's 71-yard touchdown catch-and-run on a screen pass against Toledo.
No. 6 - Grant Hedrick's 23-yard touchdown run against Fresno State. A sign of things to come, maybe? (Hedrick scoring touchdowns, not Fresno State giving up 50-burgers.)
No. 5 - Tyrone Crawford's fumble return touchdown against TCU. This play would have been higher if I did not still have a creeping sadness about any and all things having to do with this game.
No. 4 - Doug Martin's 100-yard kickoff return touchdown against Arizona State.
No. 3 - Hunter White's fumble return touchdown on a botched Air Force fake punt. Sorry for bringing it up again, Troy Calhoun.
No. 2 - Jamar Taylor's 106-yard interception return touchdown against Arizona State in the Vegas Bowl. A very thoughtful Christmas gift from Brock Osweiler.
No. 1 - Matt Miller's Hail Mary touchdown grab against Wyoming. Proof that God is a Bronco fan, if you ask me.

yeah.
I’d have to say I’d agree with this list. Especially the miller hail Mary. Incredible catch. Hopefully he puts more TDs up in the following year. (course maybe the situation it was on I could do with less of.)
My QB has an AWARD named after him. How about yours?!

#2
Jamar Taylor ran that 106 yards with a stress fracture and on a month or more of not playing. Impressive. Agree with #1. I was in the endzone for that one. It was great up close.

Observation.
No Boldewijn on this list. He was the ‘new’ deep threat but he didnt have much impact this year. I only remember him catching screen passes. Not many bombs this year except the one to little Burroughs.

#4 or #1
- becase it was Doug’s last game as a Bronco and it got Bronco Nation fired up to start that beatdown. #4 Because it to was the final game as a Bronco for Kellen. Matt Miller will have plenty of highlights to come.
Welcome to BSU Matt Miller
I would have to add Matt Miller’s first career touchdown, and Boise State’s first touchdown of the season, against (at) Georgia. Down seven after Boykin’s end around, on the road…it was a huge score and reminiscent of the post pattern another #2 used to run.
It was so “BSU” it caused Coach Pete to comment that Kellen is pretty even-keeled emotionally, but Mat Miller “takes it to a new low”. Too good.

how many other receivers can make a TD catch while taking a nap on the field?

Kellen's first TD to Matt Miller
Against the Dawgs set the tone for the game and the season and quickly announced that we would be OK without Titus and Austin, everybody’s greatest worry. Had we won, Matt’’s one hander against TCU would make the list too, I bet.
I agree with your list Kevan.
Carry on.
"Nobody likes it"
"I'm tired of even the BCS name"
"The whole thing needs to be changed."

Jamar Taylors 106 return!
Move it to number one…it was a 14 point turn around.
I saw them all live save two (Toledo and Fres State)…and Jamar’s was by far the
most electrifying because the moment was so intense. 4th and goal, ASU kinda making
a comeback. It was awesome!
I don't think a medical redshirt was ever in the cards for Taylor...
Jerrell Gavins will likely be granted a medical redshirt since his injury came early enough in the season. Taylor played in too many games this year to qualify, however, he is only a junior so he will be back next year no matter what.
