I was rooting for Auburn just because I get sick of the SEC hate from around the country but now that they lost I kind of enjoy seeing their tears and their hearts ripped out.
Yes. That was the play of the game. If FSU punts there, Auburn wins going away. I don't know if it's so much big cojones as desperation though. Fisher knew if he gave Auburn the ball back then, he'd be down 28-3 and the game would be over.
There's only so long FSU is going to go three and out. The Marshall int in the 4th was a stupid call on 2nd & 20. You have 20 screen/misdirection/slip screens that can get you into 3rd and manageable, instead you heave it downfield 30 yards.
