FSU wins BCS

Walked in the door Monday evening before 6:30 and put on the pre game  Lots of talk, but a constant view of the stadium as the teams arrived and warmed up – all the way to kickoff. Auburn got off the bus and wandered out on the field in their warm-ups. They made a circle at midfield and prayed. Pretty sure I saw Louie leading the prayer.

Down 21-3 in the second quarter, FSU outscored Auburn 31-10 in the last 31:28 to win the BCS National Championship Game. It was an exciting fourth quarter, with five scores and four lead changes in the last four minutes.

The Seminoles drew close with just under eleven minutes remaining, but an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty took them out of range for a game-tying two point conversion. Perhaps it was good they kicked the PAT. Had Auburn not missed a field goal, a missed two-point conversion could’ve meant victory for Auburn.

Out of the 65 points scored, 24 were scored in the last 4:42.

I don’t get fans of other ACC teams claiming victory. No other ACC school was even close FSU this year.

Stopped by the library on the way home – also Kroger and Dollar Tree.
