BILL STEWART'S MOMENT IN THE SUN, IN A CONVERTIBLE DOME AT NIGHT

Have some fun and try to find the defender responsible for holding the edge on a simple fullback dive play at the 6:40 mark or so in the second quarter. Then, laugh as you see him charging into the backfield, and past Owen Schmitt on the run that would become the Great Beer Truck Run of 2008. Rejoice twice at one of football's great joys: something very aggressive and smart being totally destroyed by a near-cromagnon playcall and execution.

Ah, it's the 2008 Fiesta Bowl for lunch, a game West Virginia won by a score of 48-28 after being given zero chance of competing with Oklahoma, and the catalyst for Bill Stewart being handed the job postgame (allegedly during a barstool negotiation with the Morgantown Mafia.) It wasn't a long run, Bill, but it had its moments. RIP, Bill. It got so much weirder for both teams, including a full role reversal six years later for Oklahoma when they returned the favor in the Sugar Bowl against Alabama.

Oh, and Owen Schmitt cries at the end, so if you kill the rest of your day watching it, you are required by law to cry along with him.
