January 1, 201511 yr Author FSU not getting off the blocks outside, and Oregon down to the 2. And then to just inside the 1 for 3rd and goal.
January 1, 201511 yr Author Like lightning, Oregon is in. FSU made a poor choice to try and substitute and Oregon went quickly. 18-6 Oregon, 2:18 2nd. FSU has two timeouts. A score is vital for the Noles in the two minute drill.
January 1, 201511 yr Author The crucial play on that drive was the failure of FSU to get Mariota down on 3rd and 3 at midfield. Mariota's first read wasn't there, and Smith got a hand on him after a failed block by the RB. He failed to get home and then Mitchell ran into Smith leaving Mariota free. He then hit a man wide open for the first.
January 1, 201511 yr Author Red zone efficiency obviously the story so far. Both teams with three trips. The Ducks have turned theirs into 18 points while FSU into 6. It was thought maybe the reverse would be true, that FSU would bow but hold at the red zone.
January 1, 201511 yr O'Leary goes down in the end zone but the call does not come. FSU will settle for yet another field goal attempt. I'll leave it to non FSU fans to judge the no-call. I am rooting for Oregon. That was a bad call. It should have been holding.
January 1, 201511 yr Author Williams with two catches out of the backfield and FSU is inside the Oregon 45. 1:42 left.
January 1, 201511 yr Author I am rooting for Oregon. That was a bad call. It should have been holding. Certainly crucial at this point, although, no guarantee of anything.
January 1, 201511 yr Author Ermon Lane with a great play to get FSU down to the 25 (and now 20 after a penalty), but Lane goes back down after a jarring shot (possibly to the helmet). FSU can scarcely afford to lose receivers.
January 1, 201511 yr Author FSU down to the 10, 41 seconds left in the half. 2nd and 5. Still two timeouts for FSU. This is the fourth red zone trip, and now third inside the ten.
January 1, 201511 yr Author Karlos Williams with a great TD run and FSU finally punches in like they need to. 18-13 Oregon, 36 seconds left in the half. But was that too fast? Oregon is no slouch with any time, dontcha know.
