PASADENA, Calif.
Jackson Martinez Colombia Jersey . -- Jameis Winston and Florida State faced down adversity for the first time this season,
and showed they could take a punch if thats what it took to win a national
championship. The Heisman Trophy winner threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to Kelvin
Benjamin with 13 seconds left and No. 1 Florida State beat No. 2 Auburn 34-31 to
win the BCS championship game on Monday night. "Theres a lot of heart and guts
down in Tallahassee, too," coach Jimbo Fisher said. The Bowl Championship Series
went out with a bang, with one of the best championship games in its 16-year
history. And the Southeastern Conferences seven-year winning streak in college
footballs biggest game was snapped. Winston 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 game-winning 80 yard drive. A pass interference penalty on Auburns
Chris Davis gave Florida State a first-and-goal at the 2 and on the next play
Winston hit his big receiver, Benjamin, for the touchdown in traffic. There was
no miracle finish this time for the turnaround Tigers. They tossed the ball
around on one final play, but it ended with Florida State jumping on a fumble,
and the Seminoles sprinting onto the field under a storm of garnet and gold
confetti. Tre Mason had given Auburn (12-2) a 31-27 lead with a 37-yard
touchdown run with 1:19 left after Kermit Whitfield had put Florida State in the
lead for the first time since the first quarter with a 100-yard kickoff return
to make it 27-24 with 4:31 left. Mason ran for 195 yards and Nick Marshall threw
two touchdown passes for the Tigers. "I told them in the locker room, we put
together the biggest turnaround in the history of college football. We were on
the brink of making it one of those magical seasons," Auburn coach Gus Malzahn
said. Winston was 20 for 35 for 237 yards and two fourth-quarter touchdown
passes. Florida State hadnt been challenged like this all season, winning by an
average of 42 points. The redshirt freshman, who turned 20 Monday, told his
teammates: "I said Guys, we didnt come here for no reason. I said Yall, this is
ours, man." The Seminoles were down 21-3 in the first half, and wobbling, but
never fell over. And now Florida State is national champion for the first time
since 1999, the first team to win it after being down at halftime. Winston was
jumpy against a strong Auburn pass rush, led by Dee Ford. He was sacked four
times. The Seminoles cut it to 21-10 with a late touchdown in the second quarter
and chipped into Auburns lead with a 41-yard field goal by Roberto Aguayo with
6:05 left in the third. Meanwhile, Florida State had found some answers to
Auburns spread offence. A holding penalty that wiped out a long pass also helped
keep the Tigers scoreless in the third quarter, and the Seminoles began the
fourth with P.J. Williams intercepting Marshalls pass and setting up Florida
State at its 38. When Winston tossed in the flats to Chad Abram, who hurdled
over a tackler on the way to an 11-yard touchdown the lead was 21-19. Florida
State was considering going for two to tie, but Devonta Freeman was flagged for
unsportsmanlike conduct and that pushed the extra point back 15 yards and forced
the Seminoles to kick and make it 21-20. Auburn responded with its best drive
since the second quarter, mixing runs by Mason and Marshall with one big pass to
Ricardo Louis. But it stalled at the 6 and Cody Parkey added a 22-yard field
goal to make it 24-20 with 4:42 left. During Winstons record-breaking season,
filled with blowouts and fourth quarters spent watching from the sideline, he
never faced a situation in which he had to drive his team to a winning score.
Now he had a chance to add that last line to his remarkable resume -- until
Whitfield handled it for him. Whitfield broke through a seam around the 30 and
hit the sideline at full speed. Fisher ran down the other sideline yelling "Go!
Go!" with Winston chasing behind pumping his arms and slapping his coach on the
back. Florida State was on top, but Auburn was not done. Mason and Marshall went
to work, driving Auburn into Florida State territory, and Auburns Heisman
finalist, Mason, finished it off by bowling over Florida State safety Jalen
Ramsey on the way to the end zone. Auburn billed itself as a team of destiny,
having gone from 3-9 to SEC champs under first-year coach Malzahn -- with the
help of some miraculous finishes. But for much of the first half team destiny,
the 10-point underdog, was dominating. Marshall flipped into the flats for
Mason, who followed a few wipe-out blocks and zipped into the end zone for a
12-yard score with 3:07 left in the first quarter. Florida State trailed for the
first time since Sept. 28 against Boston College. The hole got deeper. With
Florida States linebackers and safeties peeking into the backfield again, Auburn
broke another receiver free down the middle. Marshall threw a strike this time
to Melvin Ray, who went 50 yards for his first career touchdown and a 14-3 lead.
Meanwhile, for maybe the first time this season, Winston looked rattled. After
completing three of his first four passes, he went 1 for 7, including a simple
short throw that sailed high and missed its target by at least 10 yards. Fisher
could be seen yelling to his coaches that they needed to calm down Winston.
Auburns defence certainly didnt look as if it ranked 89th in the country in
yards allowed per game. Ford was getting pressure on Winston, Chris Davis
defended three passes and the Tigers D was playing like so many other SEC
defences that have controlled so many other BCS championship games during the
conferences reign over college football. Ben Bradley and Angelo Blackson
sandwiched Winston as he tried to tuck and run and the ball came loose. Auburn
recovered at Florida States 27 and soon after Marshall swept in from 4 yards out
for a 21-3 lead with 5:01 left in the first half. Florida State finally came
alive with the help of some trickery and some old-fashioned want-to from
Winston. Facing fourth-and-4 in their own territory, the Seminoles faked the
punt and ran a reverse to Karlos Williams that went for 7 yards. Then Winston
asserted himself in not the typical way for the most efficient passer in the
country. On third-and-7, he broke free of the pocket, stiff-armed past one
Auburn tackler and went for 21 yards to the 3. Freeman plunged into the end zone
on the next play to make it 21-10 with 1:28 left in the half. Fisher patted
Winston on the helmet as the quarterback shook his head, as if to say, Im better
now.

likely wants a four to five year deal. As of right now, the Toronto Maple Leafs

Massachusetts judge on Thursday denied a request from former New England
Patriots player Aaron Hernandez to move his trial in the fatal shooting of a
semi-professional football player to a different county.Hernandez, a former
tight end for the Patriots, is charged in the 2013 killing of Odin Lloyd, who
was dating the sister of Hernandezs fiance. Lloyds body was found in an
industrial park about a mile from Hernandezs home in North Attleborough.In court
Thursday, Hernandezs lawyer, Michael Fee, urged a judge to move the trial out of
Bristol County, citing what he called sensational and inflammatory media
coverage he said has prejudiced potential jurors against Hernandez. Fee said the
press coverage of Hernandez has been relentless and has often included
references to other crimes, including separate charges against Hernandez in
Suffolk County in the 2012 killings of two Boston men.This has poisoned the jury
pool in Bristol County, Fee said.He cited two telephone polls commissioned by
the defence in which more than half thee respondents said they believe Hernandez
is definitely or probably guilty in Lloyds killing.
Cristian Zapata Jersey. Prosecutors, however, challenged the methodology and reliability of the polls, and said Hernandez had
not shown that the jury pool in Bristol County has been tainted by media
coverage.Superior Court Judge E. Susan Garsh denied the motion to change venue,
finding that Hernandezs lawyers had not shown that the Bristol County communitys
prejudgment of the case is so substantial that picking impartial jurors would be
impossible.Hernandezs trial in Lloyds killing is scheduled to begin Jan. 9.
Garsh said she plans to summon more than 1,000 people to pick a jury.In Suffolk
County, Hernandez is accused in the fatal shootings of two men in July 2012.
Prosecutors say Hernandez followed the men after one of them accidentally
spilled a drink on him at a Boston nightclub. He is accused of shooting into the
mens car at a stop light, killing them and injuring a third man. He has pleaded
not guilty. That trial is scheduled to start May 28.
