It was an unusual move. But a great proposal.
For about a two-week period in early 2007, there wasn't a more famous college football player in the country than Boise State running back Ian Johnson.
Ian Johnson made headlines for his play and his proposal after the 2007 Fiesta Bowl.
He scored the winning two-point conversion on a Statue of Liberty play to clinch the Broncos' stunning 43-42 Fiesta Bowl overtime victory over Oklahoma. Johnson - who ran for 101 yards and a touchdown against the Sooners - hadn't even finished his postgame interview when he got down on one knee and proposed to Boise State cheerleader Chrissy Popadics.
Johnson and Popadics spent the next week conducting a flurry of interviews on various morning news shows before marrying in Boise that summer.
