Boise State runs its signature 'Statue of Liberty' play for a score in the Fiesta Bowl (again)

Boise State is playing in its third Fiesta Bowl, but paid homage on Wednesday to the first game that put the program on the map.

During the first quarter against Arizona, Boise State quarterback Grant Hedrick took the snap on the 16-yard line, pretended to throw a screen pass and instead held the ball down for running back Jay Ajayi to take the hand off and scamper into the end zone.

Boise State ran a similar “Statue of Liberty” play against Oklahoma in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl to win the game.

It was good to see coach Bryan Harsin throw out a oldie but goodie so early in the contest. At the time, it put the Broncos up 21-0.
