you told me a minute ago and i'm just shocked by the way this turned out. one of the most thrilling finishes for a college football game in a long time. >> the biggest come back in a bcs championship game. to the last second you kept thinking, maybe another miracle for auburn. maybe most miraculous is that they didn't win. because they led all game until the end. nick marshal deep, they led. did auburn. 7-10 at halftime. this is whitfield the kick off return. he is gone. 100yards and fsu's first lead of the game comes deep into the fourth quarter. but auburn, to the credit retaliating right away.

75-yard drive of their own. trey maison, 37 there for the touchdown with 1:19 left. auburn leading but the freshman heisman winner james winston leads fsu on a 77-yard drive. with 13 seconds left, fsu the first nonfcc team to win the title since 2005. winston the quarterback the first freshman to not only win a national title as a freshman but the heisman trophy winner too. putting the wraps on a perfect 14-0 season. you didn't have to be near a water cooler to hear everyone talking about the 49ers today. everywhere you went. right after they finished talking about the weather and kaepernick. how about the hands of michael

crabtree. like trying to catch a brick thrown out of a four story window. crabtree thrives in that play. his coach expounds. >> a lot of people talk about different things for receivers 40 times or how fast they run around the little orange cones. pretty darn important to catch the ball. for a receiver, i just have never personally seen anyone catch the ball better than michael crabtree does. >> yeah, not many have. and pretty of course how important it is to have him back. >> and carolinas feel great to have one of their best on the field. steve smith talks about his chances to get back on the field against the niners next. when it's time to talk security
