Horned Frogs End BSU’s 2011 BCS Hopes

4 Comments

TCU’s and Boise State’s lone matchup as conference rivals was one for the books.

Last year, the Horned Frogs trailed fifth-ranked Boise State, 35–28, with 5:37 remaining, Boise State ball. With Kellen Moore leading the Broncos offense, things looked hopeless for TCU until a Drew Wright fumble with 2:26 left gave TCU the ball back at their 27-yard line.

That’s when QB Casey Pachall, who finished with five passing TDs on the day, went to work. He calmly marched his team down the field in under 90 seconds, hitting Brandon Carter for a leaping 25-yard TD.

Horned Frogs coach Gary Patterson — operating under the rationale “We’re not going to win if this keeps going” — called for a two-point conversion. After taking a short pass from Pachall, Josh Boyce fought his way into the end zone to put TCU up 36–35 with 65 seconds left.

Moore drove Boise State into field goal range, but Dan Goodale’s 39-yarder as time expired sailed right, busting the Broncos’ BCS bubble and sending TCU into hysterics.

    As a TCU fan, I appreciate the way our team and fans were treated in Boise! I will be a Boise fan every time you play with only one exception.

    As a TCU fan I hope we never play those home game stealing thieves again. That blue turf is wretched by the way.

    I totally agree with ChiliCoyote.  I was at the Fiesta Bowl and at the game at Boise last year.  The Boise fans were very classy and sportsmanlike.  My buddy and I were made very welcome by folks in Boise both before and after the game.  Boise rocks, but I’ll always be a TCU fanatic.
