Tennessee back in game with Mississippi State
Tennessee turns in another very impressive drive. The drive consisted of both passing and rushing yards and moving the ball very well.
They converted the 3rd downs well and got into Mississippi territory almost like they belonged there. They end the drive with a touchdown by Patterson and with the extra point we are back to a 3 point football game.
The score is Mississippi 27 to Tennessee 24.
Mississippi State vs Tenessee 3rd quarter
Tennessee is able to stop Mississippi on their first drive and it could end up being excatly what they need at this point in the game. If the Volunteers can now turn this second possession into a good drive down the field and then into a score they will have put themselves back into the game.
The Bulldogs defense need a big play at this point since it already appears that Tennessee is playing a different game then they did in the first half.
Tennessee vs Mississippi State 3rd quarter
Tennessee starts the half with a great play that was a reverse that almost collpsed with a big loss of yards but they truned it around into a decent gain and a first down. This is the kind of momemtum they need to get things going.
Even though they do not get into touchdown territory they do manage to get the field goal so they have turned their first possession into points which will go a long way if they can now have an effective defensive series.
Tennessee vs Mississippi State half time
The half time score is Mississippi State 27 to Tennessee 14.
As we start the second half all Mississippi needs to do is more of what they did in the first half. Moving the ball in increments and taking field goals when necessary.
For Tennessee to turn this around their defense needs to be more aware of the Bulldogs receivers and be there to make the plays. Too often they had blown chances on making the plays to force the turnover and getting the ball back into the hands of their offense.
They need to penetrate the offensive line better and apply more pressure also.
Florida State Seminoles win over Boston College Eagles
As the game winds down we see the teams leave the field with a final score of 51 for the Florida State Seminoles to the Boston College Eagles 7.
Chase Rettig, the quarterback for Boston College just couldn’t seem to successfully get the ball into his receivers hands enough, and when he did the Seminoles defense was always there to make the play and stop them from getting the yards they needed so badly.
This gives the Seminoles a 6-1 record.
Boston College Vs Florida State 3rd quarter
After converting on their first possession of the half the Seminoles with a solid 30 point lead in my opinion it only makes sense that we should see more second and third string players during the second half. Obviously they would not want to let the game get out of hand or see big mistakes turn into big plays for the Eagles, but I think they also would not want to see an injury on their first string either.
Clearly, the Florida State defense has been playing well but in addition to that their offense has been converting 3rd downs well and hitting their receivers well also. They have even been getting yards on the run even though that is not their strong point.
With 4 minutes left in the third quarter the score is Florida State 38 to Boston College 7.
Florida State vs Boston College half time
An interception from a bobbled ball gives the Eagles the opportunity to score again just before the half ends.
But true to form with the mistakes made in today’s game, another interception is thrown by Rettig and Florida State gets the ball back with 17 seconds left in the half.
Two quick plays and the Seminoles are able to score one more time with a 51 yard field goal before the half and puts the half time score at Seminoles 31 to Eagles 7.
Florida State vs Boston College
Well anyone that has been watching the game knows that the Seminoles have commanded the first quarter. They started the second quarter with a 14 to 0 lead. A subsequent score takes the game to 21 to 0.
Rettig, quarterback for Boston College just has to do a better job of getting the ball into the hands of his teammates. His performance in the first drive which was actually pretty good, has been fairly poor overall since that first possession.
With 8 minutes left in the first half the Seminoles have the ball again and plenty of time left on the clock for another score.
Boston College Vs Florida State
So far the Eagles in Boston are unable to score and the Seminoles get another shot and push to extend their lead.
A rushing touchdown by Pryor and Florida State extend their lead to 14 and this makes it even more important for Boston to score on the next possession. Currently Seminoles 14 to Eagles 0.
Boston College Eagles Vs Florida Seminoles
The Florida State Seminoles take the early lead with a 99 and a half yard touchdown in the 1st quarter. With the score at 7 to 0 the Eagles are really going to have their work cut out for them.
They are going up against a superior defense by the numbers, however they did move the ball well in their first drive and need another drive like that except they must conver it into points on the board.
