Rose Bowl: Ducks Ambush Seminoles, Advance To Title Game; FSU Winning Streak Ends At 29

At Pasadena, California:

In the span of just under 13 minutes of game time on Thursday, the second-seeded Oregon Ducks (13-1) smashed opened what was a 25-20 game into a 59-20 demolition of the previously-unbeaten----and defending national champions, the #3-seeded Florida State Seminoles (13-1) in the Rose Bowl Game which was also the opening semifinal match of the inaugural edition of the College Football Playoff, ending the Seminoles' winning streak at 29 games.  Quarterback Marcus Mariota completed 26 of 36 passes for 338 yards and two touchdowns, both to Darren Carrington (56 and 30 yards).  Linebacker Tony Washington ran back a fumble 58 yards for another score.  The Ducks scored the last 34 points of the game.  Oregon scored six straight times they had the ball in the second half, five of the touchdowns covered at least 21 yards, the last four coming off Florida State turnovers as the Seminoles' winning streak ended at 29 games.
