Arguably the biggest play of the game.
It was a little bit Strickland-esque. I hope he plays the rest of his career like Donald.

I'm guessing we're in first place?
Definitely in the running, although, I have to put Spoon's INT against Oregon at #1. IMO, winning that game was the catalyst for this incredible run.

Thx Ken! Right when I posted my question there was a post above mine w the same answer.
Honestly, outside of the 2 losses, could this season be any more magical?

No kidding. So far, four of our POWs started the season as backups:
Oliver
Fisher
Price
Montez
And, had we won the game, Field's long touchdown catch against Michigan. One more week and we could have a poll!
Crazy that the guy is a backup all year, gotten in on 39 plays on defense thru 10 games (mostly during non-conference), is suddenly put in the spot light and is just money like that.
Either Sal is looking down on us, or something really special is building in Boulder.

Surprising. They picked on him pretty successfully early on. That said, the 4th down play where he left his man to make the stop late in the game was HUGE. He was all alone out there and had to make a snap decision to leave his guy uncovered deep (surefire TD) to go make the tackle. Incredible play. I rewatched it in awe. Big big turning point.
Good for him, he helped out a ton and good point Snow.
Next year secondary Julmisse, Oliver, Fisher, and Laguda. That isn't as scary as I once though it was going to be.
I didn't realize what an absolutely GREAT play that was until I saw the replay. One guy on two receivers. One going to the end zone. Let him go and it's a touchdown. The other peeling out of the backfield, don't cover him and it's a first down. He stayed on the guy going down the sideline enough that Falk didn't feel like taking the risk. Instead he went for the "sure thing:" The first down. No way the D back could beat the receiver to the line to gain. But damned if the kid didn't leave just enough ground to make up and damned if he didn't react instantaneously to the throw and make the sure solo tackle a yard shy of the first down. A helluva play!

Watching the game with my son ,8 yrs. old, and Fisher makes a good play. I say "who the hell is that Fisher kid" The boy says "he's in for the guy who got the boot". Then that 4th down clutch play happens and my son says "bet you won't forget who Nick Fisher is anymore"
I was impressed with his play ,and his future buff playing days are something I'm anticipating greatly.

We are losing a lot on defense next year, the secondary especially. The young players have flashed enough in their limited snaps this year to make me feel more comfortable for next year.
