Boise State runs the Statue of Liberty play again -- and it works!

The Broncos dipped into their greatest hits collection Saturday night against Wyoming.

We associate Boise State with one play, the Statue of Liberty, and we associate the Statue of Liberty with one team, Boise State. Of course, the Broncos ran the play to beat Oklahoma in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl. Saturday night, they went back to the well... and it worked!

No word on whether Jay Ajayi proposed to his girlfriend after the TD scamper.

We want to say “WYOMING, WHY AREN’T YOU READY TO DEFEND THE STATUE OF LIBERTY PLAY, YOU KNOW YOU’RE PLAYING BOISE STATE” but, come on. They ran this play once, seven years ago. It’s not exactly something you’re prepared to defend every snap.

Earlier this year we turned Boise State’s 2007 rendition of the Statue of Liberty into a comic book, if you’re interested in that sort of thing.
