A play so audacious it changed college football forever

As of February 23, 2026, the "Hook and Ladder" remains the gold standard for "do-or-die" playcalling. It wasn't just a trick play; it was a 50-yard middle finger to the status quo of the BCS era. Trailing #7 Oklahoma by a touchdown with only 18 seconds left and facing a 4th-and-18 from midfield, Boise State ran a play they had practiced since fall camp but never used.

The execution was surgical: Jared Zabransky threw a 15-yard strike to Drisan James, who didn't even look upfield before flipping a blind lateral to a streaking Jerard Rabb. Rabb outran the Sooners' secondary to the pylon with 7 seconds left, tying the game at 35-35. This play set the stage for the overtime "Statue of Liberty" win that cemented the 2007 Fiesta Bowl as the "Greatest Game Ever Played."
