NOTES FROM ECU AND BEYOND...

Boise State inserts itself
into national title picture
Boise State made its case for
national championship consideration as the Broncos stunned Oklahoma
43-42 in overtime to win the Fiesta Bowl and finish 13-0.
After losing an 18-point lead, trailing
35-28, and facing fourth-and-18 in the final seconds of regulation, Boise
State quarterback Jared Zabransky hit Drisan James at Oklahoma's 35. James
pitched the ball to Jerard Rabb, who took off for a touchdown with seven
seconds left.
After Adrian Peterson's 25-yard scoring
run opened overtime for Oklahoma (11-3), the Broncos answered with Vinny
Perretta's fourth-down scoring pass to Derek Schouman as Zabransky shifted
to receiver on the left. Then Boise State went for a 2-point conversion and
the win.
On the decisive play, Zabransky looked
at three wide receivers to his right, then handed the ball behind his back
to tailback Ian Johnson, who raced untouched to the left side and into the
end zone.
With the national television cameras
rolling, Johnson subsequently asked his girl friend to marry him and she
accepted.
Lady Pirates master Marshall in C-USA opener
Jessica Slack’s 16 points
led the East Carolina women’s basketball team to a 73-51 win
over Marshall on Tuesday night at Minges Coliseum. ECU is 6-8
overall and 1-0 in Conference USA. Marshall dropped to 8-6 and
1-1.
The Lady Pirates return to Minges
Coliseum this Friday as they host Southern Miss at 7 p.m.
Alabama coaching search focusing on Saban
Alabama continues to seek
Miami Dolphins coach Nick Saban for its football coaching
vacancy. Saban, who guided LSU to a national title before moving
to the NFL, is reportedly the target of a 7-year Tide offer in
the $40 to $50 million range.
Saban has declined comment but met with
Dolphins owner Wayne Huizenga on Tuesday. Huizenga said Saban asked for
another day to make his decision.
Paterno watches Penn State win from press box
Penn State coach Joe Paterno,
recovering from a broken leg sustained on the sideline earlier this season,
watched the Nittany Lions down Tennessee 20-10 from the press box in the
Outback Bowl on Monday.
Tony Hunt had 158 yards rushing in the
win and Tony Davis returned an interception 86 yards for a touchdown for
Penn State.
In other New Year's day bowls, Auburn
edged Nebraska 17-14 in the Cotton, West Virginia rallied past Georgia Tech
38-35 in the Gator, Wisconsin nipped Arkansas 17-14 in the Capital One and
Southern Cal expoded past Michigan 32-18 in the Rose after the first half
ended in a 3-3 tie.
