Kyle Brotzman Misses as Nevada Defeats Boise State

Saturday, November 27, 2010

LAS VEGAS (LALATE) – Kyle Brotzman’s two missed kicks resulted in Nevada ending Boise State’s hopes this season. Kyle Brotzman missed not one but two critical kicks, within minutes of each other, setting up a Nevada victory in overtime. With two seconds left in regulation, Brotzman missed a 26-yard field goal. Then in overtime, he missed a 29 yard kick. Anthony Martinez responded by giving Nevada the game winning 34-yard kick. Final score, Nevada defeats Boise State 34-31.
Brotzman’s blunders ended Boise State’s 24-game winning streak. They also destroyed the team’s hopes for a national title.
Boise coach Chris Petersen’s was still in shock when approached by news after the game. He said his team missed many critical plays, not just two kicks. “One play can win a game but one play can’t lose it.” Boise State’s hopes for a third BCS bowl since 2006 are destroyed, and Nevada achieved the biggest upset of the week in college football.
