Florida State beat Boston College 27-17 on Saturday night, ending BC’s undefeated season and marking the fourth time that a #2 team has been upset this year. Boston College quarterback Matt Ryan was 26 of 53 for 415 yards and two touchdowns, but his third and final interception in the waning minutes of the game prevented the Eagles from pulling out another comeback win and quite possibly dashed Ryan’s Heisman hopes.
Boston College had remained unbeaten this year after pulling out a stunning win against Virginia Tech in Blacksburg last Thursday, but the tough Seminoles defense and a breakout passing performance by Florida State’s Drew Weatherford were too much for the Eagles to overcome on a chilly, rainy night in Boston.
How did the other Heisman candidates do?
- Arkansas’s Darren McFadden ran for an SEC-record 323 yards against South Carolina, prompting Razorbacks coach Houston Nutt to compare him to Barry Sanders.
- Florida’s Tim Tebow completed 22 of 27 passes for 281 yards and three touchdowns, and added two rushing touchdowns as Florida pounded Vanderbilt 49-22.
- Oregon’s Dennis Dixon passed for four touchdowns before leaving with a knee injury in a huge win over #4 Arizona State.
- Glenn Dorsey and the #3 LSU Tigers beat conference rival Alabama 41-34 as LSU retained control of the tough SEC West and remained on target for a trip to the National Championship game.
Sorry, Matt Ryan, you had a good run. You’re mediocre against a good defense (note: this does not include Virginia Tech’s two-minute prevent defense), and I’m surprised you and your team made it to 8-0.
I guess you’re a little like Britney Spears: you burst on the scene and have your 15 minutes of fame, then it dawns on everybody that you really don’t have that much talent and there’s much better options out there. Then you marry Kevin Federline / lose to Florida State and get your kids taken away and forget to wear underwear so that you show your vajayjay every time you get into or out of a car.
Stop it, you’re embarrasing yourself.
^ The chances of us seeing this Britney ever again are about the same as someone using the word “scrumptious” in my presence and not getting his or herProbably her ass beat.
