Boise State knocked off BYU 28-27 on Thursday night to remain undefeated and improve to 7-0. In order to get there, however, the Broncos had to survive a bizarre final two minutes that nearly featured a blocked field goal setting up a touchdown.

Let’s start about two hours after BYU’s fake punt from its own 5 on fourth-and-19.

Trailing 28-27, BYU got the ball back at its own 8-yard line with 2:03 to play in the game. The Cougars had two timeouts and only needed a field goal to win. The final drive started like a lot of final drives do. BYU methodically made its way down the field, creeping into field goal range.

After burning their final timeout on an ill-advised sack, the Cougars were faced with a 2nd-and-11 from the Boise State 40-yard line. Then Taysom Hill connected on a 13-yard completion to get the Cougars back in business....
