BOISE, Idaho — As his offense trotted back on the field, that fleeting voice of consciousness popped into Robb Akey's head.

Was this the right move for Idaho? Why not play for overtime, instead of risking everything on a 2-point conversion with 4 seconds left?

"It jumps into the back of your head. Unfortunately it just does," Akey said. "I could hear the 'dumb' comment and some of those other things."

No one is going to question the Vandals' coach now.

Max Komar caught a 16-yard touchdown pass with 4 seconds left and Nathan Enderle hit Preston Davis for the 2-point conversion, lifting Idaho to a dramatic 43-42 victory over Bowling Green in last night's Humanitarian Bowl.

The score capped a wild final four minutes where Bowling Green scored twice to take the lead, then watched Idaho go 66 yards in 28 seconds.

The Falcons took a 42-35 lead with 32 seconds left on a 51-yard pass from Tyler Sheehan to Freddie Barnes, his 17th catch of the game and No. 155 in his record-setting season.

But Idaho answered with a 50-yard heave from Enderle to Davis that got the ball to the Bowling Green 16. After an incompletion with 8 seconds left, Enderle found Komar sliding across the goal line to snag the low throw.
