Boring?

It may not be your cup of tea but whatever you want to say about American sport, 'boring' I not a word I'd use.

Anyway, If you've got a spare six minutes watch THIS. A college game from 1982. Stanford are 19-17 down with 50 seconds to go. Fourth down and 17 inside their own 20 yard line.

What happens next is considered to be one of the most amazing sequences in US sporting history. Stay with it to the end... it's worth it!
