Florida State’s Kevin Benjamin catches a game-winning touchdown pass Monday in the champion
ship game of the NCAA BCS National Championship football game against Auburn at the Rose
Bowl in Pasadena, Calif.

comeback one of best
(AP) — After a regular season filled with
blowout victories and easy fourth quarters, Jameis
W inston and Florida State showed they could
close like champions, too.
No. 2 Auburn wobbled the top-ranked Semi-
noles by jum ping out to an 18-point lead in the first
half, and then put Florida State on the brink of
defeat for the first time this season.
W inston responded with the drive of his life and
a game-winning touchdown pass with 13 seconds
left that topped everything else he has done in one
of the most sensational debut seasons a college
quarterback has ever had.
The Heisman Trophy winner led the Seminoles
80 yards in the final 79 seconds, flicking a 2-yard
TD pass to Kelvin Benjamin to give No. 1 Florida
State a 34-31 victory against Auburn in the last
BCS championship game Monday night.
The Bowl Championship Series went out with
a bang, too, with one of the best title games in its
16-year history, right there with Texas 41, USC 38
at the Rose Bowl in 2006. That night it was Vince
Young leading the Longhorns and capping a
comeback by scooting into the end zone with 19
seconds left.
Now Winston is the Prince of Pasadena.
Next season the BCS will be replaced by a
four-team playoff. Winston and the Seminoles
should be contenders again after snapping the
Southeastern Conference's seven-year national
title streak.
Florida State, which played in the first BCS
championship games but had not been back since,
was voted a unanimous No. 1 in the final AP Top
25. Auburn finished second.
W inston struggled much of the night but was
near perfect when the Seminoles (14-0) needed
it most, going 6 for 7 for 77 yards on the last drive.
W inston was 20 for 35 for 237 yards and two
fourth-quarter touchdown passes on his 20th
birthday. He zipped the Seminoles down the field
on the final drive, with a 49-yard catch and run
from Rashad Greene.
"I was ready," W inston said. "I wanted to be in
that situation because that's what great quarter
backs do. That's what the Tom Bradys, Peyton
Mannings, Drew Brees, that's what they do."
Florida State also got help from Auburn. A pass
interference penalty in the end zone on Chris
Davis on third-and-8 from the 10 gave Florida
State a first down at the 2.
On the next play Winston threw high to the 6-
foot-5 Benjamin for the touchdown.
There was no miracle finish this time for the
turnaround Tigers, who went from 3-9 to SEC
champions in their first season under coach Gus
Malzahn. They tossed the ball around on one final
play, but it ended with Florida State jum ping on a
fumble, and the Seminoles sprinting onto the field
under a storm of garnet and gold confetti.
