On fourth and 3, NW was sacked, but a facemask was called and NW had a first down. Kafka found Sidney Spencer to make it 35-33 and Andrew Brewer found Brendan Mitchell for the 2 point conversion. However, Auburn fumbled the kickoff and Northwestern was set up for a 44 yard field goal. Pat Demos missed it. It was going into OT.
Auburn got a field goal. Northwestern was set up for a FG, but they missed it. Hold everything. The ref called roughing the kicker. NW had more life.

What a way to start the decade!

Bobby Bowden's final game was a very memorable one, for his Florida State Seminoles beat West Virginia 33-21. But they needed some help to get it.
WVU took an early 14-3 lead with the fantastic running of Noel Devine, but FSU fought back. Jermaine Thomas scored from 12 yards out and a FG made it 14-13 Mountaineers at the half. FSU then made it 16-14 with another field goal.

Rose: Ohio State vs. Oregon
This time, it wasn't USC in the Rose Bowl, and it was the Big Ten winning. That was on the back of the Ohio State Buckeyes.
Terrelle Pryor and Ohio State started off strong, with Pryor hitting Saine for a 13 yard score. The Buckeyes soon made it 10-0 but the Ducks got a FG and LeGarrette Blount used every pound of his to power into the end zone to tie it up at 10.

Sugar: Florida vs. Cincinnati
31/35. 482 yards. 3 tocuhdowns. 51 rushing yards. 1 rushing touchdown. A 51-24 Sugar Bowl win over Cincinnati. What a way to end your college career. Guess who's it was? Tim Tebow's.
Tebow found Aaron Hernandez for a 7 yard score to kick things off, and then a field goal made it 9-0. Tebow hit Deonte Thompson for a 7 yard score and Emmanuel Moody took it in from 6 to make it 23-0.
