Utes run the hook and ladder.

[Utahute88]

University of Utah: the 2004 & 2008 undefeated National Champions.

[TheHachet1]

My high school does that play..

[Pwndlol]

lol you can hear him say "What the Hell!"

[24CAIN]

PARIS WARREN .. 1 OF SACRAMENTO'S BEST

[nickyv917]

I thought that was called the hook and lateral?

[Cursor102]

@nickyv917 Hook and lateral also means hook and ladder... the 2 terms mean the same thing.

[pablostudmister]

icing on the cake.

[RockRams738]

My footbal team runs this play

[franktownmarsh]

That was the worst year in Big East history...As a Pitt fan, I can say that was one of the worst nightmares I've ever seen. Last game of the Walt Harris era, Wannstedt took over a few months later

[Jaxonbass]

Flea Flicker?

[qwertyuiop3491]

That took balls.

[TinMan84118]

I think this was the best utah team ever!!!!! I think thy could've been national championship!!!!

[kcalbyrrah]

0:14 not a flea flicker stupid

[eviltimm]

the stormin' mormons?

[jbrap1]

in my football team we did that play he worked and i did a 50 yrds run to tochdown the guy in the other didint know what was hapening ahah

[videostables1]

Utah has a lot of hairy women and lesbien football players.

[slimjimmy149]

Learn how to spell 'lesbian' before you make an ugly comment like that. You just come off looking like a tool.

[PanWitSyr]

So YOUR MOM went there?

[turbonegro821]

The Mountain West should take over the Big East's spot in the BCS. Makes too much sense to me.

[alexc607]

i agree the big east is weak

[RG32hockey]

@SWiTCHANiMATiON dude no cuz tcu is heading to the big east in 2012

[SWiTCHANiMATiON]

well big east has a long contract for like until 2014 BUT the moutain west is on a trail period and as long as they are higher ranked than the big east until 2011 they WILL be a bcs conference the bcs even said so google it if you want

[RockSmithStudio]

@turbonegro821 More likely for you to take the Big XII's place since it looks like its about to die

[RockRams738]

@turbonegro821 I dont get that. We have two nasty ass teams and one upcoming star team. You guys only have tcu

[maxtaylor1410]

@RockRams738 how many big east teams are going to bcs bowls this year? big ole goose egg 0 0 0 0 0 0

[RG32hockey]

@RockRams738 i know dude but its just fucked up cuz the big east is full of GOOD teams but not great thats the reason why you see an 8-4 uconn in the fiesta bowl. the teams in the big east should stop existing and they should create a new conference named like the BCS busters conference (im joking just didnt want to find a good name) and put all the all the big east teams except like pitt or syracuse who should go independent and add boise, tcu, nevada, smu, air force, houston and hawaii

[NerdyChuck]

It won't be long before Bosie goes to the mountain west conference they are WAY to good 4 the wac. Go Broncos!

[COD4dude28]

doubt it

[AFHSwedgebreaker3000]

where have you been?

[natedagr808]

the only way we would know if utah is actually worthy of anything is if theyd make a bcs playoff

[Jungook]

boise state -_- woot.!

[paczki06]

Hitch and pitch haha

[crankmaster33]

thay did that play in tha sugar bowl against alabama hahaha utah owns they are raw they should play for the national ship yall are all haters they would kill flordia and OU

[baseballboy1144]

lmfao i tottaly agree but look im saying this utes better watch this back this year and flordia every other team. the tigers gonna come and make your fav querterbacks fumble! :D

[ValindaleINC]

OU yes. Florida i dont think so. Utah is my third favorite team and Florida is my first.

[drpepperisgood55]

BSUOSUlover if Boise State could beat Utah any day than how did they lose to TCU and Utah beat them. Boise plays in the weakest conference. If they played in any BCS conference they'd get owned!

[7tails2]

well im not a boise state fan but if you think utah "owned " TCU your dead wrong. TCU had that gave until the last quarter, also if you think a team losing by one flippin point is getting owned then BYU got owned by Boise and I believe their in your conference. AM I wrong???

[drpepperisgood55]

Hey buddy BYU is not in "my conference".

[tmacfan811]

stfu boise fan. Play in a real conference before you can talk. We beat a better team than Oklahoma and didnt need any lucky trick plays. We dominated in all of our BCS bowls

[kloverde]

screw you

[boiseidaho67]

enough

[skiing1331]

the utes is the school name you dumb shit

[jtp4184]

you spelled utah wrong dumb ass hoe and it is caleed the hook and ladder

[poderosocosme]

It's called a hook and LATERAL you idiots.

[williepetevietnam]

Either can be used. Ladder or lateral

[musicguy7777]

ahhh remindes me of the fiesta bowl...

BSU!!!

[rlefavor]

that was sick

[DaWoOdPrInCe]

alex smith was not ready for the nfl....PERIOD!

[flips220]

Fuck yeah, Alex Smith.

[boiseidaho67]

fuck you 537150 your just jealous because boise state beat oklahoma utah could never do that alabama is going to stomp utah

[U0537150]

Big words, from a big man.

Jealous of what? The fact that Boise is THE most over-rated team ever? BSU's record is 4-11 vs. ranked opponents AND 3-14 vs. BCS opponents, all-time.  That is pathetic

[smasher491]

flea flicker? no.

[boiseidaho67]

THE UTES SUCK

[nelsonbelger]

Boise needs to move into the Mountain West.

[U0537150]

Ok, maybe Boise should try playing teams not from local high schools before they start telling other teams they suck

[boiseidaho67]

whatever your just jealous because we beat oklahoma sooners utes could never do that pitt sucks alabama will stomp utah

[U0537150]

I'm jealous becasue my team has gone to the BCS TWICE in the last four years?

Not only that, but Utah didn't play a cupcake schedule to get there.

Also, I was cheering for Boise in the Fiesta, it's good for all mid-majors when we get exposure like that, but realize that until Boise plays a real schedule, they don't have a case for the BCS. -- Pointing out that you squeked by Oklahoma by using every trick play in the book doesn't strengthen the Bronco's case either.

[BSUOSUlover]

ha, BSU would kick Utah's ass any day.

[U0537150]

Really? Becasue last time I checked Boise just lost to a team Utah beat.....

[Wheatiesbox8]

nice transitive property argument..... (eyes rolling)

[U0537150]

That's not transitive property; it's comparing performance against a common opponent.....

BIG difference

[babaganush937]

you lost to tcu

[pacificislander670]

BOISE STATE is UNDEFEATED that year and this YEAR to!

why are they so good???

i heard they're being invited to the Mountain West Conference

[wReCktangle]

Both Plays resulted in a touchdown... how can one be better than the other?

Both well executed plays.

[diaryofmac10]

yeah...boise's was better.

[pacificislander670]

BOISE STATES hook and lateral was way better, tricked them way better, and was executed to PERFECTION and thats why they were 13-0

[switchhitter07]

I dont think it matters, they were both touchdowns, right? They were both well executed, right? Ok, so theyre both great, end of story.

[laxattack1020]

wow that was a while ago. that was in three rivers stadium where pitt played. now they play in heinz field where the steelers play. i have season tickets and pitt is great this year.

[life4lax19]

ok come on the hook and ladder is older than 2005 right??

[natedagr808]

if it werent for pitt being big east champions, they were no where near a bcs bowl bid

[pantherfitzgerald11]

Oh hey dipship, if you're complaining about a crappy matchup your team should join a real conference, loser.

[ggh7664]

Utah has no place to go because you BCS conference pussies are afraid to expand.

The Big East and ACC suck. The only reason your conferences are in the BCS is because they make up the eastern seaboard. All those tv sets translate into millions of revenue.

[switchhitter07]

Thank the BCS for that, dude. It isnt our fault that we cant get into another conference. It also isnt our fault that we got matched against a crappy team like yours. We should be calling you "loser". Oh BTW, now that I think of it, it dosent matter if were in a BCS conference or not, cause we're back again this year!! GO UTES!!

[pantherfitzgerald11]

Damn right Pitt in a BCS game. We won the Big East deservedly. We earned it. Utah was the better team, I was there and had better seats than John Majors and Matt Prince Albert Bloom. We'l be back this year, jabroney.

[Jiddy12345]

Pitt in a BCS game?

[mrjames30]

they played in the big east and won it but were only like 9-3 so they shouldnt have been

[dipship31]

Utes got jobbed so hard that year. Stupid bowl tie-ins gave us this crappy matchup instead of Utah/Auburn

[nflnick11]

urban meyer is one hell of a coach

[lebronj1]

It Gives Me the chills everytime i watch it! UTAH UTES 2004

[MIATheU]

just watching them play that year was fun...lol

[Pakesi]

Theres me @ 0:24 #58 GO UTES!!

[Tohkeeoh7]

It took me a couple tries but I saw you! That's cool! LOL

[Cradleoffilthy]

The commentor called it a "flea flicker off the screen" =P

[Badelier]

bosie state coped that from us

[dybeen]

Utah that year could have played with anyone.

[Willziac08]

True dat

[homesickle]

the only team to ever stop this is navy in this years poinsettia bowl... the linebacker wasnt fast enough to be able to keep up with the first reciever so he just stopped and got the pitchman...

i think that its hillarious that every year that they run this in a bowl game the announcers say "wow thats an awesome play i havent seen anything like that" when they run it EVERY YEAR!!!! they need this play in ncaa 2009

[Cradleoffilthy]

It's already in the NCAA Football 08 game under Boise State Playbook.

[homesickle]

it is? im pretty sure the boise state one is, but not this one?

[Chargerfan22]

the wide reciever looked like he would have scored even if he didnt pitch it... oh well i love seeing this play it is awesome!!!

[Zitronekopf]

i love seeing this play when it works

[homesickle]

best play ever... BSU had a good one but it wasnt as likely to succeed as this one was...

they also ran this in the armed forces bowl last year

[gnr4evr06]

That was good. The Boise State hook n' ladder in 2006 was better.

[ChEagles24]

dam that play works like a charm i did that during one of my practices except i was the reciever it was great

[homesickle]

haha lucky... this is my favorite play ever and thats awesome that you got to run that... i lived in utah for 4 years including the year of this game and it was all everyone was talking about at school... in 6th grade! i wish they would run this more especially against byu... they would have no shot at defending that

[Swanny907]

Utah and Bosie State both got screwed over. Both Bosie State and Utah proved how corrupt the BCS is. Nobody will ever know how good both those BCS busters are. They both might of won national championships if they even got the chance to play for one. In 2004 Utah, Auburn, and USC all went undefeated. Why is USC crowned national champions, when you have two other unbeaten teams? 2006 Bosie State was the only team to go undefeated but Florida was crowned by defeating undefeated Ohio State.

[digduggerandmonkey]

And it going to happen the same this year with Hawaii

[homesickle]

not really seeing as they are down by 31 with 9 minutes left right now... of course after lsu beats osu hawaii is going to be the only 1-loss team(i think) so yeah they are getting screwed over

[ChEagles24]

hook and latteral is a beast play can get some really good yards when done correctly

[priscillatimler]

Pitt is the worst BCS team EVER.

[utahfootball]

Utah should have played Auburn

[gobears53]

Just saw the preview to "Perfect Effort" about De La Salle's 12 year winning streak. It looks like a pretty inspirational movie. Search for it on youtube or it's website perfecteffort (dot) com

[Uteboy82]

awsome play

[BYUsoccer46]

even though the Utes suck, i gotta admit that was a nice play

[MorgantownWVU]

That's "hook and lateral," NOT "hook and ladder." I saw a lateral on the field. Did you see a ladder?

[minco22]

dumb ass no shit they call it the hook and ladder play

because its there play!!!

[MorgantownWVU]

The "hook" refers to the pattern run by the receiver who catches the pass from the quarterback. The "lateral" refers to the pitching of the ball by the receiver to his teammate. This is NOT synonymous with a "ladder", which is a specific route (also called a "chair") in which a receiver cuts out before turning up the field along the sideline. If the "hook" receiver laterals the ball to a teammate running a ladder route, the play could accurately be described as a "hook and ladder."

[minco22]

dude check this in the fucking game its called hook and ladder get creative with the fucking plays man people dont always wanna call there plays the hook and fucking lateral

[BradJamesBroncofan]

Screw the BCS; this proves just how ludicrous it is. Even BYU (in a mediocre 2004) could have beaten Pitt.

[nodoubt009]

Thats True

[andrewkozlove]

Where's are national title... o wait the god damn bcs wont let us in to be at least co-national champions

[lowndessooner]

Utah was a good team in 04. They beat a few BCS teams that year but I wouldn't say they were better than 04 Auburn. The BCS teams they beat were all average at best.

[artwarkam]

the major colleges are not used to seeing trick plays like that options and reverses are about as revoultionary as offenses get in the major confrences

[tmack77]

I have impressive genitals

[Jester35]

Boise State's was better!

[joesakic91]

Agreed. That hook and ladder by Utah was in a blowout. Boise's was clutch.

But hey, they all count.

[GeeMagic]

the old hook & ladder... !!

[cjdyal]

Utah was amazing that year and probably was the second best team in the country. Would have given USC a real tough game.

[mattdabat]

Someone's forgetting about the Auburn Tigers, who also went 13-0 that year.

[cjdyal]

Nope. I'm an SEC guy.  I think the Utes were better than the Tigers that year. Auburn was good, but not great.

[dazzleox]

utah went undefeated, beating no one of consequence and claimed to be a real national champ. shame on college football for not having a playoff game so utah could have gotten beaten by usc 77-28.

[skittwtf]

damn they were just rubbing it in. awesome play

[BigMac12121983]

Hook and ladder? Man, I wish that was in NCAA Football 07.

[flipmode240]

man if a team can fall for that flea flicker, then that team has no business being in a BCS bowl!!
