“And Auburn is stung by its own medicine!”
Jan. 6, 2013, while going as a great portion of America hoped, had not gone as most of it expected. No. 1 Florida State, offensive and defensive juggernaut throughout the season, had fallen behind significantly in the national championship to upstart No. 2 Auburn. The Tigers had ridden miracles and good fortune to earn a spot in the title game, but tonight, they were winning outright (stolen signals aside).
The Seminoles, spurred on by a late second-quarter Devonta Freeman touchdown, had come alive in the second half, adding on a Roberto Aguayo field goal and Chad Abram reception to flip a 21-3 deficit into a 21-20 one.
