Florida State Trails After First Quarter of BCS Title Game; First Time in 9 1/2 Games

Nick  Marshall appears to have the Auburn offense over some early jitters and has marched the Tigers down the field following a nice punt return by Chris Davis. When Tre Mason scored the game's first touchdown on 3rd and 9 something strange happened to FSU; something that hasn't happened to them in a very long time (not since Boston College nine and a half games ago).

They fell behind.

Someone with a better database of info than me figured out how long its been since FSU trailed:

This is a pretty interesting point too:

The 1st team to score a TD has won each of the past 5 BCS National Championships (via @ESPNStatsInfo) #BCS
