QB Jameis Winston Chops Auburn Down To Size in BCS Championship

QB Jameis Winston last night was able to win the BCS and the Heisman; all as a freshman. This game was a close one. It came down to :13 left on the clock in the 4th quarter for Winston to throw a game winning TD to WR Kevin Benjamin.

The first half was really tough for Florida State. With 3:07 left in the first quarter, HB Tre Mason caught a 12 yard pass, and he took it into the end zone to give Auburn an early lead, 7-3. QB Nick Marshall then decided to show off his arm with an amazing 50 yard pass to WR Melvin Ray. Nick Marshall then used his legs to get to the end zone on a 4 yard run to make Auburn look strong enough with a 18 point lead. At this point, Florida State had a 9.1% chance of winning, which was the lowest chance they ever had of winning all season. HB Devonta Freeman got a 3 yard run for the last points in the half to make it 21-10, Auburn. This was the first time all season that Florida State was at a deficit in this game.

The second half was when Florida State decided they had to bring their A-game. First, K Roberto Aguayo kicked a 41 yard field goal. Jameis Winston then threw an eleven yard pass to WR Chad Abram to make it 20-21. Auburn then drove down field to let K Cody Parkey kick a 22 yard field goal, but that was when Florida State had an earth shattering play. The kickoff started like a normal play, but KR Levonte Whitfield had diffrent plans. He took the ball and started running through a few defenders, but he then took it into second gear. He was moving really fast, and he had one defender to beat, but he then seemed to take it into a higher gear to get into the end zone with a 100 yard return for a TD to take the lead for Florida St, 27-24. Marshall then began to drive down field. His plays were very slow and methotical. He finally capped it of with a 37 yard run by Tre Mason to put Auburn back on top. Mason plowed down the defenders almost as if he knew Team Destiny was destined to win, but Florida State had diffrent plans. Winston took the ball and started to drive.The clock was slowly beginning to lower. But he brought through his inner QB Tom Brady. He scored a game winning TD pass with :13 on the the clock.

This was our final classic BCS Championship game. I hope you are all looking forward to the future of BCS.
