Oklahoma State - 50 TCU - 35 First Quarter Oklahoma State got on the board early in this one with a nice drive capped by Heisman runner up, Clint Chelf, playing houdini and escaping two would be sackers and scrambling 11yards for the TD. TCU would throw an INT on their possession (a nightmarish reoccuring theme for TCU in this one) and Oklahoma State, playing conservatively, added a chip shot 23yd FG to go up 10-0. Second Quarter TCU's turnover woes continued into the second and Oklahoma State would tack on 10 more pts capped by a tight TD throw to Charlie Moore. 20-0 4:48 left in the second. TCU would get on the board with just under 2 minutes to play to bring the score to 20-7. Oklahoma State, knowing TCU would get the ball in the second half wanted to put up some points before half and did. Chelf hit TE Blake Jackson with 22 seconds left and 27-7 lead. Oklahoma State was stunned however when TCU wideout LaDarius Brown out jumped 2 Oklahoma State defenders on a hail mary vs 3 Deep, and then scampered the remaining 15yards into the endzone to end the half. 27-14 going into half. Coach Sangel was visibly pissed at his secondary and was starting to lose it as the though of a game seemingly in control could see momentum slipping away. Third Quarter TCU quickly threw an INT to start the half and Chelf would hit CJ Curry to get the momentum back in favor of Oklahoma State. After another INT Oklahoma State would cautiously work into FG range to take a 37-14 lead. TCU would make a QB change and it immediately paid off. Quickly marching down the field in 22 seconds to cut the lead 37-21. After an Oklahoma State turnover, TCU would again quickly score and all of sudden it was a game. 37-28. Oklahoma State would then throw another INT during a bandwith issue time of the game. Coach Sangel's girlfriend was seen closing the windows so the children didnt hear his language. Fourth Quarter TCU gave it right back however and Oklahoma state added a FG to start the fourth. TCU immediately gave it back again and Oklahoma State's Jeremy Smith punched it in from 9yards out. 47-28 Oklahoma State TCU quickly scored to bring the game back to 47-35. After a pair of first downs, TCU's coach who was running late already, all but conceded the shoot out and via on field texting let the Cowboys chew clock. A few more first downs later, Stonebraker added his 5th FG and a 50-35 win. Stats C. Chelf: 21/30 for 205yds 4TD, 13rush 51yards 1TD C. Moore: 6catch 69yds 1TD J.

Washington 35 Fresno St 15 Washington slays the mighty bulldogs of Fresno. Fresno the consensus #1 from every voting member of the BCS, believed to be the greatest roster ever assembled and completely unbeatable. Much like David, Washington pulled out the ultimate upset, slaying the Goliaths of Fresno. The media at larger considers the Washington victory a fluke, and that Fresno could be the Huskies 99 times out of a 100. But this one belonged to Washington who are the 2013-2014 NCAA national champions.
42 28 Baylor has little trouble moving the ball against the Ducks Baylor got it first and wasted little time. Corey Coleman ran a hitch against off man cover 0, broke a tackle, and raced 59 yards for a TD and a 7-0 lead. After a Ducks punt, the Bears were back in business and Bryce Petty took it into his own hands, scrambling away from a corner blitz and getting in the endzone from 8 yards out for a 14-0 lead at the end of the 1st. The Ducks would then get on track with a nice drive, putting a TD on the board when Mariota found Hawkins for a 15 yard strike. The Bears stormed right back though and Petty hit Tevin Reese for a 25 yard TD on a post pattern. An INT ended Oregons bid at points before the half to keep a 21-7 lead going into the break. Oregon got the ball first and caught Baylor in a blitz with a pretty screen pass that DAT easily took for a 50 yard TD, nobody can catch that dude. After forcing Baylor's only punt of the game the Ducks were back in business. Mariotta would find Lowe on a nifty rollout play that completely fooled the goalline D and evened things up at 21 all going into the fourth. Baylor needed to get back on the board with the momentum shifting and they did just that when Corey Coleman caught his second TD of the game from 20 yards out on an in route that found the space in the zone. Oregon would stall near midfield and be forced to punt in the 4th. Baylor would answer again, getting a 14 point lead with under 2:30 to play when Seastrunk scored from 6 yards out. The Ducks went on the move again, needing to get in the endzone, but Mariotta would throw into coverage at the goal line and get picked off! The ball would get spotted about an inch off of the goal line for the Bears to take over and Oregon sensed that a safety would keep hope alive. Bears coach Johnny Utah looked and found no under center run plays since they are all shotgun all the time. Oregon came out in press cover 0 needing a stop badly. Tevin Reese, matched up against the impact CB would bust the press and catch a 10 yard out to get some breathing room, but then Reese would turn upfield, with nobody in deep coverage Reese would be off to the races and end up being credited with a 100 yard TD reception to put the game away with about a minute and a half left. The Ducks would score again, but a failed onsides kick would be the end of things. GG bringbackjimmy Key Stats: Baylor achieved 19 first downs, but only faces 2 third downs all game. Nick Petty was on fire going 21-23 for 439 yards and 4 TDs Oregon couldn't run it all game, gaining just 39 yards on 18 carries. Lots of offense in this one.... Oregon gained 396 yards and Baylor put up a crazy 530
