Well, Ryan Dinwiddie made his coach look like a genius—again. On Thursday night in Winnipeg, RD gave a positively Dinwiddie-like performance—and Boise State fans who have longed to see Ryan light up defenses one more time had their chance (if they get channel 39 on their antenna).
Dinwiddie, as I blogged earlier this week, was given the reigns of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers after their incumbent got them off to an 0-4 start. Dinwiddie not only tossed for 450 yards and a score, he tossed the game winning touchdown with only seconds left on the clock.
I gotta tell ya, to see Dinwiddie's pure elation after he tossed that game clincher almost brought a tear to my eye. The guy's been through a lot and it's about time he was given the opportunity to shine once again.
Boise State, by the way, got a lot of free pub during the game as Dinwiddie's college roots were mentioned time and again, as well as his teammate's, Cam Hall.
Dinwiddie looked so poised, confident, and accurate, I could've sworn I'd stepped back into the year 2003. Now, if I could just figure out why they only got three downs (or "doons" as the announcer kept referring to them), why the teams got a point for missing a field goal and why the uprights were at the very front of a 20-yards-deep endzone all would be right with the world.
Atta boy, RD! We haven't forgotten about you.
