Nevada 34, Boise State 31. Discuss.
Recap and analysis after the jump.
Note: After each Boise State football game, I recap and analyze the action the same way. Only tonight's will be a little more brief.
Note: Thanks to all who commented and emailed about the pic of Brotzman right after the game. I replaced it with a game photo once the wire service made some available, and apologies for not choosing a better placeholder before.
Note: That's enough notes for now.
The Top Five plays of the game
-
Kyle Brotzman missing a 26-yard field goal at the end of regulation. BAD WORDS.
-
Kyle Brotzman missing a 29-yard field goal in the first overtime. BAD WORDS.
-
Kellen Moore to Titus Young for 53 yards with two seconds left. OK, this one was really cool.
-
Nevada's Anthony Martinez making a 34-yard field goal in the first overtime to win it. Technically a Top Play, since it won the game and all.
-
Doug Martin's 79-yard TD catch and run. Ah, a simpler time. Before I knew despair.
It was over when ...
Literally, it was over with Martinez's field goal.
Recap
Nevada won. I don't care to relive how.

Knee-jerk reactions
I love you, Kyle Brotzman, but I don't have to like you right now ... This game will forever be remembered in Bronco lore for Brotzman's misses, but credit Nevada for playing a very, very good second half of football ... How much did Brotzman's first kick miss by? Inches? Millimeters? ... Sports: Sometimes they suck ...
Sleep on this one for awhile, Bronco fans ... Much more to come on Brotzman, BCS, losing, etc. once I can see straight again ... Hopefully tomorrow ...
